    The property brings peacefulness. Very clean and quiet. Just a nice place to rest and distressed. I like that it is also pet friendly.

    Quiet area, clean space with access to a small beach area in the back of the location.

    There was short of staff and they were not able to fix a tv that wasn't working for the first night. i called the front desk, nothing. i called the other hotel that was given to me, just incase we needed anything, and no answer. I left a message at the front desk in the morning just incase when they arrived they could fix it. nothing. As well as there was a little market across the street but it was shut down but there is a market a little ways down that has everything too.

    The area is beautiful and quiet, there was places to sit outside and hang out. There is a small stair case that leads to a little beach like area to play and hang out. They provide a fishing cleaning station as well as bbqs. The room had a little kitchenette with bar stools and seat. microwave with popcorn which was a really nice touch. There was coffee and mugs to use as well. perfect little family place.

    Was surprised by a $100 deposit for my 9 pound dog. However it is refunded if no damages.

    Very nice sized room. Rustic but not primitive with comfortable beds (really!) Little kitchenette with sink, fridge and microwave- even gave us popcorn to pop. We had a disabled room and parking and access to the room was easy. The hotel is right on the river but a general store/deli is across the street. I would recommend this place highly.

    The room dimensions are somewhat compact, and there is inconsistency in the water pressure from the showerhead.

    Situated alongside the river, this lodge boasts a stunning natural setting, perfect for relaxation and tranquility.

    I can't think of anything needing improving or changing.

    In two weeks of travel this was my favorite motel. Jim was kind and so nice. The bed was fantastic. The room and amenities were more than ample. There were rocking chairs overlooking the Kern River and a large deck with BBQ and steps down to the river. The room was very attractively decorated with fishing themes. The river area along the highway to the north is super scenic. The town south of the lodge is both beachy (on the reservoir) and Old West.

    One of the best hotel I have been to. The location. The mood just next to the river. Best place to feel that you’re close to the nature.

    Booking.com is deceiving. This is very distant from national park so should not be advertised as such. It’s a 4 hour drive to kings canyon or Sherman tree.

    Great location if spending time in sequoia forest but don’t confuse this with sequoia national park. That is a 4 hour drive. Here you are closer to 100 giants trail but not the Sherman tree or national park. So less tourists here.

    I was an afraid of the second step on leaving the apartment. The step needs to be altered so you cannot fall.

    The location was great also the staff and management being great with having my dog along was a tolerance of having my dog with us was wonderful.

    The floor and the bathroom door are quite noisy.

    We liked our stay at the Sequoia Lodge, the value for money is good. The room was very clean. It's run by friendly people. We liked that they have patio's with decorative lights to spend the evening outside. Although we didn't use it, they have big BBQs around the property for guests to use. We recommend staying at this lodge!

    No real downside except it is a distance from the nearest Tesla Supercharger, but that might also be a positive for some.

    The property was immaculate and as advertised.
