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!

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.

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.

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

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.

This was a great property remember it's very old and rustic with that said, I wish I had known there was only fans for cooling and they had not been cleaned in forever so when you turn them on dust flies everywhere or at least in room 5...other then that... The room was clean and fresh and the staff was very nice and the food for breakfast was all fresh and wonderful...

Stony Creek Lodge is in a favorable location on the edge of Sequoia National Park. The location saves significant driving time leaving the park to find better lodging. Otherwise, it is an old, rustic property with paper thin walls and limited food offerings of poor quality.

The location to the park was good, the check-in and check-out process was easy, and the room was quiet. It also had breakfast included, a restaurant on site, gas pumps on site, and a little convenience store/gift shop. The rooms were outdated and a little run down, the matress was old and bouncy, and in my opinion overpriced. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable of the parks.

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.
Mice snack left on the breakfast line

Ok for a night stay

We decided to stay here as it was the only convenience location available in the park. It’s an ok place for a night stay. You sacrifice comfort for convenience. Could use some updates. The staff was super friendly and helpful!

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.
