Montecito Sequoia Lodge is a solid 4-star experience, but it’s important to set expectations—this isn’t a luxury hotel. What it does offer is excellent value for its location inside Sequoia National Park, about 40 minutes from the park’s main attractions. The lodge provides unique perks such as complimentary access to a private lake with canoes and paddleboards. Breakfast is very good, and dinner is solid as well. Overall, it’s a great deal for those who prioritize location, activities, and value over high-end amenities.

This is an older camp in the middle of the park. The food was not good, they said breakfast starts at 7:00 but no cooked food was available until 7:30. They said a bag lunch was available if you were going off campus but they did not prepare it until 9:00 making for a late start touring the park.

The first room was good however one of the extra doors to a hallway had duct tape covering where the door handle should have been. Critter in room while sleeping proof is due to leaving out fruit overnight only to wake up and find it eaten. Was not a big issue for me however other guests may not be as tolerant.

This lodge is good for those who want to go to the Sequoia NP and Kings Canyon NP and who doesn’t want to camp. Still the facility is old and we hear many sounds from the nearby rooms. We do not have other options but the food is not good and the menu is limited. Don’t expect to get a service worthy of the price.
