We arrived on Oct. 6th so the shutdown was just starting and we were assured that it had no effect on the operations of the lodge. It was great being next to the river and the views were beautiful. But the lodge was just ok and the staff, a bunch of teens, were terrible. They were unable to give directions for even very close things; we arrived at night and asked where the visitor center was, and the teen did not know...turns out it was just a few hundred yards up the road. The snack bar was an overpriced joke that was out of half the items, and you had to drive almost an hour to find any other food options! The teens were very loud and obnoxious back in the kitchen and made the dining area unbearable. If I had to do it over again we definitely would stay in Sequoia Park instead, where the hotel was much nicer. We drove there for a real meal and knew we made a huge mistake going to Cedar Lodge.

Picturesque scenery

Best possible location. The Check-in staff were wonderful. The hotel is older and could use some remodeling. Food options are very limited and the grill staff are not the most polite or engaging. The views and the drive to get here outweigh the negatives.

Convenient for exploring the Cedar Grove area of park, beautiful on the river. Convenient having restaurant-good food! Was also nice having the market there with frozen food & microwave in the market to use. Air conditioning wonderful in room. Very basic room but perfect for exploring this beautiful area of park. Mist Falls trail at Roads End was awesome!

Food offerings were poor: limited (and ever-shrinking) options and mostly poor quality. My wife eats vegan and had almost no options at all. Even the choices for alcohol were few and low quality.

Room was clean, bed was comfy. Hot water for shower could be better. It was lukewarm at best. Nice market and small self order restaurant with sandwiches and salads. Food was delicious. Excellent WiFi. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Small lodge with around 20 rooms so that was nice. Right on Kings River. Views and trails close by and beautiful. As an fyi no gas stations close by so come with as full a tank as possible. Also if you have electric car no charging stations. We would definitely stay here again.

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
