Maribel at the lobby was so helpful, she was able to get me checked in little bit earlier then 3. She gave me so much information and whereabouts to all amenities on the properties. This is a cute lodge, across the street is a hidden beach with chairs and tables. Very relaxing and great for pictures.

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.

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.

Great spot near a bridge where 2 rivers come together. Walk across the street to have coffee on the river. Unfortunately the nights we stayed construction on the bridge started after 9pm. Otherwise lovely spot and place.

Liked: Staff & service
Room was nothing fancy, which was expected. But it was clean and enough room for three of us. But the faucet in the bathroom sink sprayed water all over the counter making it virtually unusable. Also, there was no lighting outside the door making it dark and difficult when arriving late. No servicing the room during the day. Check-in was two miles down the road, which also had a pricey but mediocre buffet breakfast. There isn’t much around there at a decent price, so I guess they don’t have to be very good to compete. Probably would look for a better place.
