A little pricey, but the room was great with a kitchenette and stocked with dishes, utensils, coffee. Market for provisions about 12 miles up the road. For the price, slightly above average value.

Nice two bed room located right off the main road. Perfect location just a short drive from the Arch entrance to Yosemite National Park. Red Bud has access to the amenities of Cedar Lodge (check in location) just down the road. Would stay here again and I recommend as a budget hotel.

Layout and amenities of Red Bud Inn were perfect for us in our journey to Yosemite NP. The staff were very accommodating. The room, bathroom, kitchen were ideally clean and well appointed. I was much better than we expected for our needs. The only draw back is the noise on the highway, which we contributed to with our driving. We may stay here again in the future, if we return to the area.

I needed a place to stay at the west of Yosemite valley. This place was fine, clean and tidy. However, for the price (much more expensive than a room in Oakhurst at the south), and that the check-in was in a different place 2.5 miles east, it felt over-priced for what was on offer.

Check in and out process was super easy, staff at Cedar Lodge were very friendly. The Wi-Fi is actually superb which was a great surprise (it’s also free). Location is right on main road but secluded enough and a short 20 min from park entrance. Inside is very clean and well kept with plenty of cooking supplies, including a stove top and toaster among other things. Would definitely recommend.

30 minute drive to Yosemite Tunnel View, so this place is convenient. Clean and lovely room with a mini kitchen including microwave and refrigerator. Bathroom is clean and big enough. The view outside the room is also gorgeous, it is a pleasure to wake up every morning and enjoy the creek view and fresh air. Such a good getaway experience. Also, the wifi connection is good.
