Good space in the room and the kitchen is nicely equipped. Location is close to the park - about 30-40 minutes drive to get to Yosemite Valley (this accommodation is not inside the park).
Yosemite Gatekeeper's Lodge is located in El Portal just 10-minutes’ drive from Yosemite National Park. Mountain and river views are offered in this self-catering holiday home.
Featuring an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, this Cedar Lodge is a 5-minute drive from the entrance of Yosemite National Park. The on-site restaurant is open for dinner daily.
We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse.
We didn't travel to visit El Portal which is pretty sparse. Its proximity to Yosemite is the reason we visit. There is a service station which is strategically located and also a fairly good coffee shop (dog friendly).

The place had Tesla fast charging stations.
The place had Tesla fast charging stations. The property was old but clean. The carpet could use a deep clean. The room had a balcony with a table and some chairs great for drinking with friends or just hang out and relax while looking out the river.
The room was really big and spacious with a ref, stove top, coffee maker and some cooking and serving utensils.
Actually the property was decent but with no cellular coverage (Tmobile), wifi should have been readily available. Here you have to pay through a 3rd party. Sad! So it’s not great for virtual meetings and stuff.

The location and staff were excellent!!
The location and staff were excellent!! The room was clean, the amenities were great as well, the only problem was our TV. Maintenance couldn’t fix it so they gave us the internet for the TV the first night to remedy the situation which was amazing but not the second night which put a damper on things with no Tv to relax the second night.

The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite.
The hotel location was good and near to Yosemite. The room was good. The Pizza restaurant was good.
We didn't like having to book room service (towels etc and coffee for room) on a daily basis. In our opinion is a throwback to Covid pandemic days, as a management policy to save money not support the customer.

Close to Yosemite park entrance, just a short drive. Mildly wild river behind the hotel is great. We ate mostly in Yosemite park (very nice dinner at Yosemite Valley Lodge Mountain Dining Room and a great lunch at Ahwahnee hotel bar).

The Lodge is a only couple of miles away to the park gates nearest to Yosemite Valley. The scenic drive from Mariposa to El Portal was an added bonus. The property was clean & well kept + our room was plenty big enough for 3 people & a dog. We particularly liked the indoor pool being open and there was some lovely spots to just sit and relax. It was a relief that the shop was so well stocked. The staff were very helpful and efficient.
Great location not far from the entrance to Yosemite Valley.
Good food at the restaurant and well equipped shop. A large hotel so busy but plenty of amenities including pools and games rooms.
We got the Yart from hotel into Yosemite which made it a very easy to get to the park.
We stayed in a renovated room which was very clean, comfortable, and large enough for two people. The hotel has great amenities with a general store on site with helpful staff, and two restaurants that are good enough. The location is fantastic, only 30mins from Yosemite Valley.
Location an easy drive to Yosemite National Park. Facilities were good for self-catering - we brought our food with us. There is a nice walk along the river from the property.
