Very clean. Totally outdated decor. Cutlery seemed sourced from the Dollar Store. Sufficient accommodation for $100/night, but ridiculous for $330/night.

Beautiful quiet property! The pictures don’t do it justice. Clean and homey, and you get access to the pools and gym at the larger Yosemite lodge nearby. It was an easy drive to Yosemite.

Good property near the Yosemite NP. It is literally 15 minutes by car to NP central entrance. It was clean and beautiful surrounding with mountains and Merced River passing through.

Red Bud was a good choice for Yosemite vacation.

Location was excellent. No hand soap or hair conditioner. Beds were old and worn out but sheets and covers were clean. Counter service was excellent and maintenance, when directed was spot on.

Decent stay outside entrance to the park! Double room was quiet with WiFi and TV. Refrigerator and microwave included as well. Not much else by the lodge but overall very pleased with the stay! Also one trailhead starting above the lodge which was a simple hiking option without heading into the park.

The only issue was that, to check in, we had to drive back ~2 miles, to a nearby lodge (no office at the location) (we were coming from east/Yosemite and tired!). It would be nice to let customer know before hand (eg email that before hand the day before).

If you are looking for a cheap, quiet place to sleep just out of Yosemite it's not bad. The room was very basic but also very clean. There are no ammenities at the location but you are allowed to use the facilities (pool, etc) at the resort 3 miles away. Also, that is where you check in because, again, there are no facilities other than the block of rooms.

Mostly very nice motel near the park. But there's no front desk at the building itself. You have to check in 3 miles down the road. Which is not convenient. Also bathroom faucet was terrible. Otherwise very spacious and clean room.
