A hiking buddy and I (both in our 70s) spent one night there on our way to King’s Canyon. It’s an interesting, different sort of place and it worked out well for us. It’s rustic and pretty spartan (some would even say crude) but it had everything we needed…small fridge, microwave, Keurig-style coffee maker, a couple of space heaters that did the job (we were there in chilly mid-October). We’d read some of the bad reviews about the place, with dirty conditions, bugs and other critters, etc. and we found none of that. The place was clean, no bugs or critters, the mattresses were quite comfortable, the bathroom was clean and tidy with good water pressure, etc.
A couple of other pluses: it was very quiet there and it’s very convenient to King’s Canyon. It has an amazing number of electrical plugs, so you’ll have no trouble charging all your devices. A few negatives: there is no kitchen sink, so you’ll need to wash dishes in the bathroom and there was little in the way of kitchen supplies. We didn’t find any silverware, only one plate (though plenty of coffee cups) and little else…best to bring that sort of stuff yourself. The place could also use a bit more inside lighting. We arrived after dark and had trouble finding the place but the restaurant staff helped us.
All in all, the place worked well for us and was a fair deal for the price. You just need to be prepared for what you’ll get – it’s not the Hilton, but it was clean, comfortable and convenient.
