Cedar Grove Lodge

The property was great for what it is, a big step above camping. The place was clean and the room was comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a market with a good variety of food and gift items and camping items. There was a small take out restaurant with decent food. The roaring river by the hotel was spectacular and we enjoyed relaxing by ut daily!

My husband and I were out “glamping”. The accommodations were really nice for our needs. Comfy and clean. The lounge chairs near the river were relaxing and charming.

Older building, shower was tiny, location on river was beautiful. Restaurant served good food but limited choices. Convenience store was well stocked for a remote location. Friendly staff.

Convenient for exploring the Cedar Grove area of park, beautiful on the river. Convenient having restaurant-good food! Was also nice having the market there with frozen food & microwave in the market to use. Air conditioning wonderful in room. Very basic room but perfect for exploring this beautiful area of park. Mist Falls trail at Roads End was awesome!

Plenty of self parking. Very close to a main road, so traffic noise is loud.

Excellent location on the roaring Rapids River. Great friendly staff, fantastic reasonably priced Café, delicious pulled pork with a bottle of wine on the river. Best to drive here in a sports type car, preferably convertible. We had a wonderful stay!!! Thank you very much!!!

Lodge was comfortable included a store and grill very useful for buying last minute items and food.

Large area for outdoor seating along the river and on covered patios.

Room was clean, bed was comfy. Hot water for shower could be better. It was lukewarm at best. Nice market and small self order restaurant with sandwiches and salads. Food was delicious. Excellent WiFi. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Small lodge with around 20 rooms so that was nice. Right on Kings River. Views and trails close by and beautiful. As an fyi no gas stations close by so come with as full a tank as possible. Also if you have electric car no charging stations. We would definitely stay here again.

The location of Cedar Grove Lodge is wonderful. There is a market and restaurant. The food was great. Natural beauty is stunning! We’ll be back for more!

Great location. The burger and toasted cheese sandwiches that we ate in the snack bar were as good as any others we had in California. Price is high for the room but that is to be expected when staying in a NP and being surrounded by all the natural beauty. All the staff we met were very nice and helpful. Our room was clean and suited our needs.

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Grove. The river just outside the lodge was amazing. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms could use updating but the staff and the view were excellent. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

The location along the river was beautiful and quiet. Wish the park service could spruce up the lodge and rooms some. These are not cheap rooms but looked like a tired motel. But location is splendid to enjoy the much quieter Kings Canyon NP.

Rustic place, lovely views and helpful friendly staff! Available food limited selection but very well prepared and tasty! Rooms comfortable but dated.

This is a National Park Lodge. It is very basic but the location is perfect if you wish to enjoy the park and get an early start on some hiking. The room was basic but nice and clean, staff was friendly and food was decent.

Room is clean. Location is good for visiting the park.

The location of the property is great but everything else was rather disappointing. The washrooms were not clean, the kitchen was there but nothing was functioning properly. Frying pas were the worst kind, everything got stuck to the bottom even with lots of oil and low heat. Towels were yellow, and carpets felt stickly. There were no screens at balcony doors, either we had to live with bugs or not able to circulate air. I usually never complain about any property, but compared to the price of staying the service and facility is lacking.

Perfect location in the nature next to a river. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Noisy. I can hear the voices from neighbors clearly, and they could hear me as well

No microwave and frige. Coffee maker not working and have no power at our first night. Commodities very basic!

It was so nice to stay in the park after a long day of sight-seeing. It would not have been good to drive back out for a place to stay. The room was basic (no TV) but clean. The shower was small like a cruise ship but had hot water and excellent pressure. No hair dryer. Location was great along the river. There were chairs by the river to sit and relax. Property also had a restaurant and market. Would definitely recommend.

A small but nice lodge in Kings Canyon. Room was a decent size for our family of 4 although we didn't spend much time in it as we were either in the park or sat outside in the nice outdoor area. We paddled in the river and sat stargazing in the evenings. A good base for Kings Canyon & Sequoia NP. Staff were friendly. The shop was well stocked for snacks & drinks, plus we used the restaurant onsite too which was nice. Could have done with a Cedar Lodge signpost on the Cedar Village sign for on the way in.

Hotel very dated. Bare bones. Would have been nice to have a mini fridge and microwave in the room. Breakfast was bare bones. For the price (due to location) I would expect better. Only had cereal, mini muffins, small yogurts, no bagles, no toast. Juice in small plastic containers. Snack bar food was good, but overpriced. Ok hotel for amenities, excellent for location.

The lodge is right next to a beautiful river. The staff was pleasant and courteous. The bed was comfortable. The food was pretty good at the sandwich shop. Those are the positives. Check-in is exactly at 4 pm. The desk is in the market area and is not staffed continuously. The lodge was built in the 70s and not updated since. Actual keys to get into the rooms. No TV in the rooms. No water pressure in the showers. Toilets don’t flush well. Bring alternative entertainment. There is WiFi tho. It just needs some serious updating!

So many great things about this place, then some not-so great. First of all, the staff was always helpful. The complimentary coffee and muffins were nice. The location itself deserves a 5-star rating. The beds were super clean and comfortable. The other facilities in the (standard) room not so much. The rooms are dated, for sure, but clean. After tent camping for several days, I was looking forward to a real shower. A downer was that shower was either scalding hot or snow-melt cold. I mentioned it to the gentleman at the front. He said, I needed to play with it a bit. So I did, but being in a drought, I didn't want to mess with it too much. So cold shower it was. There was NO coffee pot as stated in the description and in pictures, certainly no phone either. The door handle to get into the building that lead to the standard rooms was really finnicky and would "stick". After several attempts, I got in. I won't even bother mentioning the wi-fi, I expected it to be spotty, it was. It was better IN the room (after 9:00) vs. the balcony. Plus, I was out there to enjoy the surroundings. I get it, it's an old facility. But they also close down for about 6 months a year (after season is over). So with that time, couldn't upgrades/repairs be made to the rooms/building? Again, the location is top-notch. For that alone, I would return.

The staff waa excellent, food was great also

Fast and easy Check in. Exelente service.

The check-in time was not clearly mentioned anywhere. The automated voice message gives a check-in time based on Eastwrn Standard time and it was extremely confusing. We thought the last check-in was at 8 pm but it seemed to be at 5 pm. Terrible customer service

This hotel is a drive, but so worth it. It is not the most modern, but stunning in its views along the river. Having a complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day. Dinner at the snack bar was really good. We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Nice, comfortable, uncomplicated. We arrived really late st night and the reception was long closed but the key and all needed information were ready for us.

National park accommodations are not known for being “updated” so I didn’t expect that but overall the room looked fine. I appreciated the hot shower with good water pressure and comfortable bedding, as well as the continental (convenience) breakfast. Although there was no elevator I so appreciated the ramp! We also enjoyed relaxing and reading in the chairs placed by the river. They were sticklers about the 4pm check in. I mean to the minute…which is a little ridiculous when you are out in the middle of nowhere.

Best possible location. The Check-in staff were wonderful. The hotel is older and could use some remodeling. Food options are very limited and the grill staff are not the most polite or engaging. The views and the drive to get here outweigh the negatives.

Takes longer to get there than we planned based on milage. It is in a valley with a long mountain drive in. Don’t get me wrong… it’s beautiful but you need to allow extra time

Great value for a low price, and super nicely located in the middle of Kings Canyon.

Great rustic place to stay in the heart of the canyon - nice river frontage

Remote and quiet

It would have been nice to know it's at the bottom of the canyon. It takes 45 minutes to drive out to explore or see anything out of the canyon. 2 nights max for a stay unless you are hiking in bottom of canyon.

An average hotel but the selling point is location. Would stay again.

Food offerings were poor: limited (and ever-shrinking) options and mostly poor quality. My wife eats vegan and had almost no options at all. Even the choices for alcohol were few and low quality.
