The location was the best of both parks. Best visitors center and walk to dinner. Kings Canyon was amazing. Easy trip to Sequoia hikes. The lodge was great. Loved tea and puzzles in the lobby. Nice big room with a great shower. We’ll be back.

Good location, friendly staff, I enjoy fresh cup of coffee and they seen to have it days and night. The bathroom is outdated but they come with safety mat. We stayed in the first floor and we can hear footsteps from 2nd floor plus the wall is thin. The beds are comfortable to sleep in.

Super fun place, the location and the views are so worth it. Though I really wish they had some form of breakfast offered. It was nice that they had a rollaway... though the blanket with it had cigarette holes. Doors weren't properly sealed, so I'm sure any noise goes out (you could see a bit of the ceiling in the rooms from the hall). No microwaves in rooms but there is one in the lobby.

Out stay was very enjoyable. However, the one item I would say kept this review from being 5 stars would be the fact that there are no comfortable chairs in the rooms and the mattresses could use replacing. All in all, it was a nice place to stay but there were also limited options. There is only one place to eat and the ordering process was automated and didn't work half the time. They also kept running out of things. I won't discourage anyone from staying here - the staff was great and the lobby had comfortable chairs to sit in. Perfectly located to see all the local places.
