My husband and I were out “glamping”. The accommodations were really nice for our needs. Comfy and clean. The lounge chairs near the river were relaxing and charming.

I really loved my stay at this lodge. The rooms were nice enough but not fancy but the location was great. We did see a bear from the lodge which the rangers drove off. It had a great view next to the river.

The check-in time was not clearly mentioned anywhere. The automated voice message gives a check-in time based on Eastwrn Standard time and it was extremely confusing. We thought the last check-in was at 8 pm but it seemed to be at 5 pm. Terrible customer service

Excellent location on the roaring Rapids River. Great friendly staff, fantastic reasonably priced Café, delicious pulled pork with a bottle of wine on the river. Best to drive here in a sports type car, preferably convertible. We had a wonderful stay!!! Thank you very much!!!

The location along the river was beautiful and quiet. Wish the park service could spruce up the lodge and rooms some. These are not cheap rooms but looked like a tired motel. But location is splendid to enjoy the much quieter Kings Canyon NP.

Great location, Disappointing quality

The location of the property is great but everything else was rather disappointing. The washrooms were not clean, the kitchen was there but nothing was functioning properly. Frying pas were the worst kind, everything got stuck to the bottom even with lots of oil and low heat. Towels were yellow, and carpets felt stickly. There were no screens at balcony doors, either we had to live with bugs or not able to circulate air. I usually never complain about any property, but compared to the price of staying the service and facility is lacking.

Book for its location only

Positives: VERY close to Yosemite - it’s one of the closest hotels to the park (10 miles away) if you don’t camp or stay in Yosemite valley Somewhat clean - my room was clean, but the bathroom had flies coming out of the sink Parking - lots of parking available Negatives: Price - they charge very high rates for what is a two star hotel. They gouge because of proximity to the park No real food options - you have to drive many miles to get food (or bring from the park). There is a small minimart on site for some basics. They is also a restaurant, but it also charges ridiculous prices due to lack of competition. Terrible internet - this is my biggest criticism. Absolutely ridiculous for a hotel in 2025. The lady said that it’s not their fault. There are simply too many guests using bandwidth. Well, get more bandwidth!! Stop being so cheap. With your exorbitant rates, you can afford to buy better service. Basically, expect no internet or limited internet from 5-6pm onwards until the next morning (I left every day super early). On weekends when it’s more crowded, forget about it. Just awful.

Location and scenery are incredible

Location and scenery are incredible! Creek runs right by it. Pine tree smell is a treat. In between a camping and hotel experience, leaning more towards hotel. Friendly staff but not your typical hospitality industry workers. Old school room keys. Smaller showers. Overall, really great!

The lodge is right next to a beautiful river. The staff was pleasant and courteous. The bed was comfortable. The food was pretty good at the sandwich shop. Those are the positives. Check-in is exactly at 4 pm. The desk is in the market area and is not staffed continuously. The lodge was built in the 70s and not updated since. Actual keys to get into the rooms. No TV in the rooms. No water pressure in the showers. Toilets don’t flush well. Bring alternative entertainment. There is WiFi tho. It just needs some serious updating!
