Wuksachi Lodge

Highly overrated.

Published Date: Oct, 2, 2023 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2023 Rating: 2 The best feature of this place is the staff: they are lovely. The location is also great. and the beds are comfortable. Those are really the only positives. This place is extremely over-priced given the complete lack of amenities. The cell service and internet are almost none existent, even in the lobby. The lobby is not a welcoming place for guests to hang out -- not enough seating. The restaurant is terrible and very expensive -- and guests don't have any alternatives. I think that John Muir Lodge is probably nicer (although the food may be the same).

The WiFi doesn't work, and there's no cell. Hope you brought a book.
The bar and restaurant are a disaster. You wait in line for 45 minutes, and the food is just plain bad. I ordered a burger medium-rare ($20). It arrived in 2 minutes, well-done (obviously pre-made) and with a heat-lamp-hardened bun. And potato chips rather than fries.

Expensive and rooms are only ok, but great service and location, and much better than John Muir Lodge.

Rooms are ok, location great, but service in the restaurant is very good indeed. We ate there even when we stayed at John Muir Lodge and were repeatedly impressed with the restaurant's service at both breakfast and dinner, including Chris (hopefully I remember his name correctly!) and Cale.

Motel 6 with a great location!

It's the only lodging in Sequoia National park and there is only 1 other in Kings Canyon. The rest of the visitors need to drive back into a town through slow & treacherous winding mountain roads. Unlike other National park lodges, this place does not utilize it's location at all. It's stuffed back off the road with no views, more parking lot than trees. It has a cool deck to have an outdoor lunch but offers zero views. I realize the lodge was impacted by both covid and giant snow storms this last winter so it has been slow to get back on it's feet. The bar and restaurant are now mostly back to normal operations. You can sit and have table service with a pretty solid dinner menu. We had sandwiches, they were New York priced with fast food quality. The bar manager was recently hired to re-build the food & beverage, nice guy doing a job but they were literally out of almost every wine & beer option on the menu! For $350 a night, there are no excuses for why you're out of almost everything. The place is only 1 hour from a big city, no reason they can't get supplies. Staff was generally very nice and helpful, the rooms were about Motel 6 or a Comfort Inn quality. There was ZERO Internet, which doesn't make sense, seemed like a lack of infrastructure spending, old torn furniture, worn-out bathroom, but it was clean. For $150 a night I can over look much of this but at $350, come-on, you're stick'n it to me! Don't let this review prevent you from visiting the park, that was AMAZING, more impressive than I expected.

The main lodge building is great too. There's a nice gift shop with plenty of souvenir options, and the restaurant serves up delicious food. We stayed three nights, and I wish we could have stayed longer!
