The lodge and its employees are amazing! Everyone is very friendly. WiFi and cell service are spotty and not extremely reliable if that is important to you. The location is amazing if you are spending time in Kings Canyon or Hume Lake. We look forward to returning!

John Muir Lodge is great for those wanting a basic inside-the-park experience. The rocking chairs on the porches were delightful! Our two queen room was nice and clean and included a small fridge. The only dining in the area is the park run concession which is pricey and not very good. Convenience of having a nice place to sleep close to the sights is worth it though since it is a long drive to just about any of the other available lodging.

Friendly Staff, decent rooms. Except the shower was really short. Loved the location. Loved the rocking chairs on the decks. Would have liked a few more microwaves in the main area. But the service at the Grant Grove village was super slow and they were way under staffed! However, we Definitely will come back again! But with more of our own food!

Peaceful Stay

Great experience staying inside the park. No A/C, but plenty cool enough with window open and fan on. Appreciated how quiet it was. No frills, but clean and enjoyable. Coffee in the room and in the lobby, breakfast for purchase down the hill in the park restaurant.

This was a great way to see both National Parks in a timely and convenient way. We went in May, so the rooms not having air conditioning was fine. The restaurant wasn’t running at normal hours, so that was a bit frustrating, but we navigated it and overall enjoyed our stay.

Very convenient being in Kings Canyon National Park. The rooms were quite dated & loud. Room 102 should be turned into the housekeeping closet since it is right under the stairs & you can hear every step. The restaurant didn’t have a lot of options & was slow but it was something. There is a microwave & coffee in the lobby so that was helpful.

Basic hotel. Good dining option at the Grant Grove restaurant. Conveniently located. Staff was friendly and hospitable. 4 stars because the rooms were small and dated. However, I would stay again.

This hotel commands its price because it is located in the park. It does have a pleasant lobby for relaxing, and there are rocking chairs on the porches. But there is no area immediately adjacent to the hotel to explore, just a parking lot and a paved road to walk to the restaurant and visitor's center. At night, it is totally dark once you exit the front door to the parking lot. We brought our small dog and there is no area set aside for him to relieve himself. In fact, most of what is accessible on the hill has signs to stay off. The room just has a fan for cooling. The only microwave is in the lobby. I thought the staff were good at their jobs.
