Really enjoyed. Great location for King's Canyon and Sequoia NP. Wifi was surprisingly good.
Fan, but no AC, so keep this in mind on a very hot day.

Convenient location for the National Parks. Restaurant was around a 7 min walk from the hotel and the food was basic and had to be ordered via screens in the lobby and was then delivered to your table. Rooms dated but clean. The

Excellent location for exploring Kings Canyon and Sequioa National Park, with super friendly and helpful staff, but lodge accomodation is showing its age and food options were very limited and basic, with a lot of plastic cutlery and packaging for a setting that should have concern for the environment at the heart of its operation.

Excellent location in Kings Canyon National Park. Food options were convenient. Rooms were clean, but no AC made it tough to sleep in summertime.

A nice property especially being within the national park. The room was functional and well equipped but basic. It offered everything we wanted and was very clean. The dining facilities are limited to the restaurant within the national park and a small grocery store. Any other dining options are a long way from the property. Staff were friendly and the common areas in the lodge were warm and comfortable.

John Muir Lodge was a nice hotel in a rustic setting. Close to trails and the General Grant tree.
We wish their were more dining options near by.

We stayed at the John Muir Lodge for 2 nights while exploring Kings Canyon and Sequoia. Our room was on the second floor. There was no elevator. The weather was quite warm and there was no AC, only a tower fan. The beds were comfortble. There was a balcony at the end of the hallway but it would have been nice to have a balcony off of our room. The staff was very friendly.

Only shortcoming is lack of dining facilities. The park restaurant had decent food but is basic and a walk from the hotel.
