Overall the lodge has a log cabin charm. The front desk provided adequate service. Coffee is provided in the lobby common area but constantly needed to be refilled which was not attended to without prompting. The room was ok but better attention needed to dusting all surfaces including the blinds ( which are not blackout , prepare to wake at first light or bring a mask). Mattresses need to be replaced, could feel the springs- very uncomfortable. It’s really the only option for lodging in the park with en suite bathrooms but for the price could use some upgrades for comfort

Poor catering

Great location. Rooms good. The meal service provided at the remote dining room leaves a lot to be desired. No staff on hand. Electronic meal ordering only. No wine available. In short it’s typical of the Delaware North form of industrial catering….. May work in a hospital but not for a premium location. Very poor..

John Muir lodge is the only place where to spend the night outside the north part of Sequoia Park. Very basic lodge for the price. Limited water pressure in shower. Clean and large room. No A/C only heater. Coffee in the room but no breakfast at the lodge. The restaurant is 5 min walk from there to offer basic lunch, diner and breakfast.

We couldn’t sleep because of an intermittent noise the whole night! We thought it was the heater but after struggling to sleep the whole night we found out it was the refrigerator unit that was old and was making that sound! The keurig coffee maker had water left over from who knows when… so we chose not to use it since couldn t clean it…Also the dining choices were very limited and the only restaurant in the property food was like can food😩. Hope they improve that too. But otherwise rooms were clean😊
