The entire "lodge" smelled of mildew and sweat. The "restaurant" was so filthy we could not even consider buying food or partaking of their included "breakfast." The room was also poorly maintained and unclean. The television satellite input was not functioning at all. The bed was lumpy and left me with a sore back. The price for these substandard conditions is ridiculous. The location, although situated in the park, was not conveniently located near the major sights. The CA health department should investigate the kitchen. I do not recommend staying at this dump.

Stony Creek is a charming small lodge located in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest. It is an older facility but is well maintained and clean. The staff was excellent and attentive to our needs. Though there is a short drive to the main sights in Sequoia National Park, it is away from the crowds and is more affordable than other options in the area. Free breakfast included! We enjoyed our stay there very much!

Overall, Stoney Creek provided what we needed: a place to stay before going to Kings Canyon the next day, and the staff were very nice. Unfortunately, I can’t say much more positive than that. We arrived about 9:00p.m., and had to track down someone in the employee lodging to get in; the “free breakfast” was eggs, bacon, weak coffee and boxed cereal; the TV didn’t work and after 15+ minutes, there was still no hot water in the shower in the morning.

This hotel feels more like you went to a rustic cabin. It has 11 rooms. It's attached to a store and a small restaurant. It is one of the few places you can actually stay in the park which makes it well worth it in terms of saved driving time. The entire property runs on a generator, which limits what they can run. There is no AC in the rooms, but they have windows right above the bed that you can open and use to cool things off. Our room cooled off well after just a few minutes. The bathroom was clean and the room tidy. That said, it could use a good deep clean behind dressers and under the bed. There was no refrigerator or microwave in the room but the great room had a microwave and coffee and tea available at all times. The great room also had beautiful floor to ceiling windows and lots of places to sit. The TV did have a decent channel selection. Breakfast was nice with several options. Staff was very friendly and very accommodating. They have to get you ice if you need some. Knowing that the entire place is run by generator, I am impressed with what they have for services. The location is also perfect if you are going into Kings Canyon from Sequoia.

Pricey, old, dirty hotel.

Needs a deep cleaning. Mold on shower door. Dusty. No hair dryer. WiFi good. No tv service, staff said, “we’re having a problem with that receiver. “. End of conversation. Quite pricey, old, dirty hotel.

The property was very dirty and unkept. The front entry was filthy and looked like it had not been swept in months. The rooms were okay with some mold in the shower. The hotel has potential but needs an engaged staff that cares.

Staff was awesome. Room was good but bathroom floor was dirty. The best part was staying inside the park and being able to wander around at night to see starry skies.

If you are lucky enough to find accommodations within the park, I would take it despite the high prices. I have stayed both inside the park and outside the park and it’s not worth the extra two hours round-trip driving if you stay outside the park. Staff was always super friendly. There’s even a convenient gas station at the hotel. Sure, it is overpriced but the convenience makes it worth it

TV did not work, but they did give me a discount. No hair dryer in room. Shower took forever to get hot. Spider webs and dust was everywhere. Only real plus was convenient to Yosemite & Sequoia National parks.
