Excellent staff, nice facility. Great food at the restaurant nearby. Parking is pretty limited though at the lodge itself. The lodge is close to all the good old giant trees! The Park Visitor Center is also top notch there.

Truly charming lodge in a great location. Rooms were rustic in keeping with the flavor of the area. Large, clean & comfortable. Lobby had a large stone fireplace with tables & chairs. One chilly evening there was a roaring fire there, adding to the ambiance. A microwave was available if you wanted to enjoy a quick meal in the lobby, and coffee & tea were there too. Front desk staff were friendly & welcoming. You could walk to the area with a full service restaurant, market and gift shop, as well as park visitor center. I would definitely stay there again,

The place itself was great! It is extremely close to the General Grant Tree, fallen monarch, panoramic view, big stump trail and Mark Twain’s stump! Within walking distance, there is a market and one restaurant. Overall, I would stay here again.

The only draw back is they didnt have air conditioning. The front desk was amazing and allowed us to pick a 1st floor room. Which was nice and cool.

This National Park Lodge is the nicest place I have stayed in the many parks I have visited. My only issue was the very soft bed in the ADA room we stayed in.

What’s not to like staying in the park. Staff could have been more friendly. Walking down the hall staff member did not even greet us or acknowledge us. Walked into the lodge same thing, the person at the desk did not say good morning, good afternoon of anything. Good things: stay in the NP, room was nice, free coffee in lobby for my husband. Bad things: pillows too soft, bathtub slippery, staff not friendly, no restaurant on site.

It was a good lodge. Pity they only started the fire in the lobby at 6 pm when it was snowing outside. Fun experience doing puzzles in the. Lobby as the tv in the room wasn’t working because of the snow. Restaurant nearby was so so.

John Muir Inn was well maintained and situated with all the other Kings Canyon buildings including a restaurant, gift shop, and the Park Welcome center. Our stay was great. Vincent the evening staff at the counter made us fresh baked cookies each night. The inn has a “lodge” feel, and many of the guests met in the main open area downstairs in front of the fireplace to eat or play games in the evening. The Inn provided many family games that you could take and play. Overall was a great experience and recommend the stay.
