NO AIR CONDITIONING
This was our first stop after a long day of cross country flights and driving. We finally arrive only to find out that in 100° heat, the place has no air conditioning! Even with the window open and a fan running wide open, it was a miserable night for both of us! Don't let the name of "John Muir Lodge" fool you. I did not check to see if the place had A/C, I only assumed....and you know what they say about that! We were unimpressed with our accommodations and were glad to move on!

Decent but no options for dining. The room was ok but no air con. It’s in the middle of a National park so we weren’t expecting more.

I liked the location, which was relatively close to the National Park. The lodge itself had everything you needed. There is no A/C in the rooms, but did have a fan. I didn't need it because I went in early May and it was still nice and cold. The restaurant could have been a lot better. Barely felt like a restaurant. You ordered using a Touch screen and someone would bring out your food. You had to grab your own plastic utensils and really no wait service. Food was ok, nothing special. Just expected more of a personal touch. Overall, I still enjoyed my stay and a a lot of great hikes.

We arrrived and checked to see when our room would be ready (we were early) we were able to get a short hike in, still many roads closed because of winter travel. Shopping, visitor center walkable from the lodge, dining room food was decent you order at the desk and it comes out kinda of carry out style to your table. Lodge is rustic and what I would expect at a national park. Most visitors hung in the lobby around the fireplace and played games in the evening because to get other places is probably a 45 minute drive. The road is windy and at times foggy so getting places quickly is not an option.

Cozy and welcoming
Very friendly reception and welcome by the manager. Large public room w tables, games, fireplace, small microwave. At one side there's an outside covered seating area. Remember park hotels are not luxury hotels - the price is due to their relatively remote location; if you book through a third party, you cannot call the hotel for a refund, you need to contact the third party. Recommend bringing as much of your own food /drinks as possible. The "food" store is primarily junk food (in our opinion), the restaurant food not great (opinion).
