Review:
Wuksachi Lodge is my personal favorite place to stay when visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated and quiet, the staff friendly and well-trained. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows offer treetop views, and the cuisine is above average.If you're looking for a nice, last-minute getaway, don't wrongly assume that the Wuksachi will be booked up far in advance. On my most recent visit in mid-July, walk-in guests reserved the last available room at 6:00 p.m. on a Saturday. There's no two-day minimum stay here, either.
While this is the most expensive property in Sequoia and Kings Canyon, it's comparably priced to similar, nice hotels at other California national parks and well worth it if you want a nice, clean, modern place to stay. This place becomes a terrific bargain mid-October through mid-May, when rates fall to almost half.
You'll get the best views from the Stewart Building. The larger Deluxe rooms, with a small table and chairs, and a sofa in rooms with a king-sized bed are worth the extra cost.
