The pool was sparkling clear We spent a quick night on the way home from Tahoe. We had two rooms. One was a family suite with a small kitchen. That was great because we could all eat together. My wife and I had a King bed in our room. The beds were comfy. I could see spending more nights if needed. This is a great value. I would stay again and very thankful that it is off the main drag. It was quiet and peaceful. Just because something is old, doesn't mean it isn't nice. I liked it. It has personality

Stayed here two weeks ago when I didn't want to spend $320 a night at the Holiday Inn Express…read more This was half the price. Really old motel but everything was clean. The bathroom in room #8 was super small and had a tiny sink. Had a kitchen which was nice with a full size fridge. Comfy mattress. Decent wifi speed when I did a speedtest but decided to stick with my TMobile cellular data and had good signal. Basic Cable TV but not HD so picture was fuzzy. Parking is right outside your unit. Have to back out of your space but wasn't too bad. It was 100 degrees in town but once I set the AC to 68 degrees, I was able to get cool in the room. Adriana at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is two short blocks from Hwy 395 so very quiet. Walking distance to several restaurants. Overall, it was fine for a solo fishing trip.

We arrived the facility 5:30pm nobody is at the desk and a message that the receptionist is at another location (El Rancho motel). Notice indicate that the person will be back 6pm. I end up feeding my kids dinner in the car. When the receptionist arrived, I was told that the facility was overbooked and that we had to look for lodging somewhere else and that they might be able to accommodate the next day. After talking it out for 20mins, we were given room reserved to someone else that either coming late or no show. We got into the room and settled in since we dont have much options. - The bathroom sink is leaking - We discovered at night that the TV remote battery is missing and the office is closed already. - We discovered the next morning that refrigerator is not plugged in so my kids medicine were compromised. - There is a filty rug under the refrigerator - The microwave was not wiped down - The refrigerator has tape inside to hold compartment - There was no hand soap We planned our trip months ago and I was really hoping that this could be one of those home base we could use as we introduce the Sierra and hiking with our kids but this ruined the experience On the good side we were not tossed without lodging but until midnight I heard people coming in that lost thier reservation since the facility overbooked. They are blaming Expedia and booking.com but this seems not the first overbooking incidents.

We did a late check in, arriving at midnight. Unfortunately, there was a mix up and we were given…read morethe wrong key. The office is only staffed until 10pm so there was nothing we could do about it. The room we got was pretty small and the bed wasn't very comfortable. The next day, I got a message from an employee apologizing and immediately offered me a refund for the 1st night. Someone else brought us the key to the room we were supposed to get and again apologized for the mix up. The new room was way better! We booked a room with a kitchen and it was very large, with a separate kitchen and pretty large bathroom. The room looked just like the pics on their website (minus the dog lol). It's a motel in a small town out in the middle of nowhere so if you're expecting the Ritz you're going to be disappointed but it was pretty much what we expected. I'd stay here again if we ever visit again.

Due to the great location this has been our go to place for years and sad to see it slowly decline…read more We've always gotten a room with a kitchen but now there's dirty dishes, the cookware is worn out, one of the balls looks like it had been used to mix paint in, there was only one spoon, a couple of forks no real cooking utensils and no wash towels. Odd that while the other motels in town are full, this one has a a lot of vacancies and they don't even turn the sign on at night. Very strange and sad. We won't be staying here anymore.

They do not provide trailer parking, but there's a park across the street with RV parking. The hotel is gorgeous with a rustic, elevated, cabin feel. Has a small creek in the middle of it with relaxing chairs and fire pits. The Jacuzzi was also very lovely, we spent a very lovely afternoon /evening there. We also had a pet friendly room that accommodated our 2 small dogs. They have areas for the dogs to go potty, which is awesome. They also have an outstanding lobby bar / lounging are that was very relaxing. Diego the bartender was outstanding on both separate times we stayed there. The food is delicious. I highly recommend the Caesar salad with grilled chicken, the mushroom pizza and the barbecue chicken pizza. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and there was hard water on the bathroom, shower glass, but it happens. Some people prefer soft beds. Some people prefer firmer beds. I understand that. Yes, it's on the more expensive side, but it's a gorgeous hotel and people shouldn't complain. If it's too much then don't book it ! The cancellation policies & prices are upfront so I don't understand why people complain about that.

One star. I had a reservation, but I never even set foot on the property…read more Our upcoming trip to the area was disrupted by the Rock Fire in Inyo County, forcing us to change our travel plans. Before booking, travelers should understand that Wayfinder appears to enforce its cancellation policy even when a major wildfire prevents the original trip from taking place. The hotel offered to convert my one night reservation into a credit, but only if I selected and confirmed new travel dates within 48 hours. In my view, that is not a reasonable accommodation. When travel is unexpectedly disrupted by a natural disaster, it can take weeks or months to determine when a replacement trip will be possible. A more customer-friendly approach would be to issue a credit valid for 6-12 months and allow guests to book new dates when their plans are finalized. We also discussed moving the reservation forward by one night to accommodate our revised itinerary. While I understand that weekend rates are higher, the additional cost would have been several hundred dollars, making that option impractical. As a result, I lost the cost of one night's stay and will not be booking with Wayfinder in the future. This was my first experience with the company, and unfortunately it left me with the impression that there is little flexibility for guests facing extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. Management already has my contact information. I hope you'll reconsider and issue a credit that can be used within the next year, rather than requiring a new reservation to be booked within 48 hours.

This was our second time staying at Palisades Lodge, and once again, it exceeded our expectations…read more We had an unusual arrival and departure schedule. I contacted the manager, Christine, via email. She went above and beyond to accommodate our special request. She understood our situation and made every effort to ensure we had a comfortable and stress-free stay. The hospitality we received was on par with, if not better than, many of the major hotel chains. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, making for a very relaxing stay. We truly appreciate Christine's outstanding customer service and the welcoming atmosphere at Palisades Lodge. We will definitely stay here again whenever we're traveling through the Big Pine area. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my stay at Palisades Lodge! It's clean, modern, quiet, and the parking is awesome…read more One of the best parts is the location; it's an easy 20-minute drive to Big Pine Lakes. Check-in is incredibly smooth and convenient, too; it's all self-check-in, which you can do either online through their portal link or right at the kiosk downstairs. The nearby conveniences are incredibly clutch, too. If you arrive early before check-in, you can grab some great pizza right next door. There is also a cafe next door that opens at 5:00 AM, which is perfect for grabbing coffee and breakfast before heading out early to the lake. The Chevron across the street is super convenient when you need to fill up on gas, water, snacks, or grab-and-go food. Even better, there is a BBQ spot just a 1-minute walk away that is absolutely perfect for great post-hike eats when you're starving. I highly recommend staying here!

My IT bands went out on me and I…read moredidn't have time to recover on the trail, so knowing that a full on 911 would have been ridiculous I was able to arrange a pack ride out. Pine Creek Pack Station absolutely came through in record time, and pack leader Tim (or is it pack master?) Was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. Knowledgable and informative about the area and local flora and fauna, he kept my mind off off my aching knees and on the beautiful scenery around me for the duration of the ride. Tim turned what could have been seven painful hours, into a fun and thrilling afternoon I would have enjoyed to do anyway (ever try going SoBo down Glen Pass on a mule? It'll sear your steak baby...) Anyway, I didn't get to properly thank Tim or the company for helping this lady out of a tight spot, due to rushed circumstances at the trailhead, so I want this review to shout far and wide, Pine Creek Pack Station is the best, and when I come back next summer, I hope to take a more local ride in one of your organized pack trains. I hope Calvin is available, he's the best mule that ever stepped foot on the dirt. Top shelf thanks!!!!! See you soon!!

Perhaps they were competent 7 years ago when the last review was left, but far from it now. Details of my experience: - I paid the full fee 4 months in advance, but despite dozens of calls emails and texts I only got confirmation of the reservation the day before we were due to drop our resupply. - Despite being told I would be kept informed of progress via my Garmin communicator, we did not know for sure that our resupply would be there until we found the buckets about a mile away from the location we had agreed. - The equipment we sent back down was not available to pick up when we got off trail as planned. Danica offered to mail it back - fair enough. But then no response to messages following up. I was eventually told she couldn't find our buckets. - After many many messages and 3 weeks later she found some of our gear, which for unknown reasons has been mixed in with someone else's trash. - About 6 weeks after we were supposed to pick up the gear I received some of it back. There was about $300 of clothing and equipment missing. When I listed the missing items and asked for compensation, I was told "I do not owe you anything. That is ridiculous" - The experience didn't end up ruining our JMT hike, but it came close and the whole debackle took up a lot of my time to sort out and cost me $100s of gear. I definitely will never be using King Canyon Sequoia Pack Trains again, and I hope I can save some other people from having the same trouble.
