It is a quaint place. Met our needs with no frills. The restaurant supper was awesome. 3 minutes down the road is a great coffee shop with quiche and bagels for breakfast.
What I expected but better . Good value and full of ingenuity. Food was also good in the restaurant . Only 5ing I would point out to people that the shed rooms are great but shared bathroom. I did not realize before booking (probably me not paying attention ). Bathroom set up was cool to me. Had a great burger as we
P
Loved I could check in and out on my own. It’s the closest place you can stay at that is outside the park. Super affordable. Charming. I would stay here again.
Close to the Kings Canyon park entrance, which is what we were looking for! Rooms are small but decent. Pretty good amenities given how far away it is from the city.
Hotel was in a great location for the parks. It is older and small but it was comfortable. The little restaurant was excellent and priced well. The food did not let us down. Only thing that could make this better is new towels.
