For the sake of your health, stay away! During our stay we unfortunately observed examples of unsanitary and unclean conditions in the cafe and kitchen area and on the day of departure I was ill with a badly upset stomach, which was very unpleasant to deal with when hiking in the national park without easy access to bathrooms. I was so concerned for the health of future guests that I submitted a complaint about Stony Creek Lodge to the Tulare County Environmental Health Division, which is the first time in my life I've ever felt it necessary to report a business like this. At breakfast I didn't dare touch the sausage and eggs sitting in a dish in dirty lukewarm bain marie water so stuck to the prepacked cereals and fruit pot, though the damage was already done. The lodge looks as if it was built in about 1980 and not much has been touched since, so expect very tired and dated decor and facilities. The staff seemed to all be college age kids who presumably are there for the hiking/climbing they can do on their days off, but unfortunately seem to view running the lodge and dealing with guests as an inconvenience rather than their job. Note that the place closes very early: on the day of our arrival dinner service finished at 6.30pm (yes, finished not started!) and reception closed at 7pm. If I had a dollar for every time the staff said "it's the end of the season, we've run out" then I'd have saved a good chunk of the outrageous cost of $238 per night.

Property is at a great location, in between the 2 parks. Also, while it is a very simple and basic lodge, that is perfectly fine, since no one is visiting for a luxury stay option. But a better job is expected from the staff. Apart from the manager, there is a lack of professionalism on display. They can do a better job in ensuring there is no litter on the property. And make sure they are available after hours in case of guest emergencies.

If I could give it a zero star, I would. Read the following: Room was dusty, cob webs on the lamp shade, floor was nasty. No ac in the unit, burned up in the early evening and froze in the early am. The radiator heater knocked all night. They mentioned about “little animals” in the rooms when we checked in but didn’t see any or signs of them in the room. Breakfast was totally different. There was a bowl of green apples apparently left overnight and you could see where a mouse had a quick snack. This bowl of apples was left there two consecutive mornings. I would recommend staying in Fresno or Three Rivers. This place was one week from shutting down for winter but that is no excuse for keeping the place up. Be warned before booking. I should have read the other reviews more closely before booking.

The only two good things about this hotel was the staff was nice and the location. Otherwise this was the filthiest, dingy, run down hotel that I or my husband have ever stayed in (and we do a lot of traveling). The men’s bathroom was horrible (growth of something in the urinal) and the shower in our room had mold growth. For $220/night - no worth it at all

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.

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.

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

For $295 (including tax) we had a bathroom where the sink faucet only dribbled out water. We had to wash our hands and faces in the shower with cold water. Property is overpriced and in very poor condition. The staff was nice but inexperienced.
