Clean room, and the bed was comfortable. The amenities were disappointing, because they were not clean, and we didn't get a hot shower during our 2 night stay. Each time we tried having a shower, the water was cold.

Parking was a bit tricky, and the directions at check-in weren’t the best, but it was still easy enough to find. The room itself was clean, though the bathrooms are shared and located outside. Expect some bugs like grasshoppers on the walls and beetles in the sink—it’s pretty remote. Overall, for the price, it was worth staying in the area esp it being so close to Kings Canyon.
