Decent for a last minute trip but no the best

The stay at the lodge was an okay experience, the room unfortunately was dirty. we found a half empty wine bottle in the fridge and crumbs under the beds. It was really annoying to have to make a reservation to dine at the restaurant. We waited 20 minutes to be seated while there were multiple tables open. I think this really brings the value down because its in such a great location but these minor inconveniences made it difficult to enjoy.

The babbling brook next to the restaurant was beautiful, and it is the closest hotel to the Sequoia National Park entrance. The hotel rooms are quaint and homely. Parking can be a bit of a difficulty during night hours as it is a popular place for the bar. I would heavily recommend enjoying the waffles from Sequoia Coffee Co. and the pizza from Pizza Factory. Both are about 15 minutes out, but also delicious.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room had overpowering bad musty smell. So bad. Needs new carpet or a dehumidifier or something. No where to walk dog(all gravel, no outdoor area except parking lot), I ended up going behind lodge next door where they had a nice “backyard” area. Parking lot for rooms is very small and right at the back door for the restaurant so the dumpster/trash stank. Restaurant was delicious but expensive. Would eat there again but would not stay at the lodge due to room smelling so bad. Very convenient location to Sequoia Natl Park
