Overall the lodge has a log cabin charm. The front desk provided adequate service. Coffee is provided in the lobby common area but constantly needed to be refilled which was not attended to without prompting. The room was ok but better attention needed to dusting all surfaces including the blinds ( which are not blackout , prepare to wake at first light or bring a mask). Mattresses need to be replaced, could feel the springs- very uncomfortable. It’s really the only option for lodging in the park with en suite bathrooms but for the price could use some upgrades for comfort

Resting on its laurels - work needed

Very dated property with limited facilities. Staff were sassy about people trying to check in and hour early then had a full lobby 2 hours after check in time because none of the rooms were clean.

Poor catering

Great location. Rooms good. The meal service provided at the remote dining room leaves a lot to be desired. No staff on hand. Electronic meal ordering only. No wine available. In short it’s typical of the Delaware North form of industrial catering….. May work in a hospital but not for a premium location. Very poor..

John Muir lodge is the only place where to spend the night outside the north part of Sequoia Park. Very basic lodge for the price. Limited water pressure in shower. Clean and large room. No A/C only heater. Coffee in the room but no breakfast at the lodge. The restaurant is 5 min walk from there to offer basic lunch, diner and breakfast.
