Fabulous place to stay close to Kings Canyon. Our room was spacious, with a private balcony and a bath with a view! It was a fabulous way to relax and unwind after doing the guided rim walk tour with a guide from Discovery Resorts. We also attended the sunset drinks and light towers display and the Under a Desert Moon dinner experience, which was phenomenal. The food, setting and host were all amazing. A very special night.

We had a comfortable stay - the room was clean and spacious for 3 of us. The aircon worked, but the vents didn’t open so it took a while. It’s in a beautiful setting with a great view from the bar at sunset, and very close to the Canyon walks which were the highlight of our stay. Only downside was the lunch and dinner meals which were disappointing. Breakfast buffet had a good range.

Clean room, and the bed was comfortable. The amenities were disappointing, because they were not clean, and we didn't get a hot shower during our 2 night stay. Each time we tried having a shower, the water was cold.
