Don't reserve at the Delaware North Properties

Their phones are NEVER answered in my experience, and they don't respond to emails. When I left a voice mail, the call-backs are at strange times from an unrecognized number.

Next to grant grove and close to both Sequoia and Kings Cyn attractions. Great management. Water supply stations. Lots of games for kids. Confortable rooms.

Published Date: Jul, 28, 2024 Travel Date: Jul, 1, 2024 Rating: 5 This lodge was very convenient for visiting the nearby sites. The room was spacious and very clean. We appreciated the fan in the room with the hot weather. There was a mini fridge and the Wi-Fi worked well. The beds were comfortable. Front desk staff was friendly and helped us map out our days. Short walk to the National Park Visitor center and the Grant Grove restaurant, gift shop and market.

Basic lodging away from main sites

Published Date: Jul, 24, 2024 Travel Date: Jul, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Very basic place to stay - clean and peaceful but uncomfortable old beds and no air conditioning meant that nights were restless. We were also disappointed that the “restaurant” is a short walk away and more of a self service canteen. The main sites of sequoia are an hours drive from here so would stay someone more central next time
You pay for the location...which is great.

Published Date: Jun, 1, 2024 Travel Date: May, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Location is fantastic. Lodge is fine - nothing fancy but serviceable. You pay for the location. One of our pillows had something gross on it. I took it to the front desk and they replaced it. Manager said she was sorry and would give a discount for that first night. When I got the bill in email...NO discount given (not surprised). The shower head is pathetic...less than a 2-inch drizzle of water. There ARE low-flow showerheads that can give you a decent shower. This showerhead was awful. As for the restaurant at Grant Grove - skip it if you can - you order on a touchpad to get overpriced, mediocre (at best) food. We even decided to eat over at Lodgepole in Sequoia the second night rather than eat at Grant Grove again.
