Very Good

Room is clean. Staff is friendly. But front office most time empty. You need to call. AC is good. No kitchen in my room. Refrigerator. Coffee maker. Microwave are working well. I really like the rocking chair outside my room. Make me feel so relax.
Basic room. Had all the necessities. Staff was great; very friendly and helpful. My kids loved the pool. Nice touch that there were pool floaties. The location was perfect. Walking distance to water rafting company and many dining options in the area made this an ideal place.

You can sleep here if you have to be in Kernville. An eye mask will help with the all-night-long blinking lights outside. Walkable to some restaurants.
This was the 3rd time I've stayed at this location. I stay there because of the location. It's convenient and walking distance to everything in this small town. It's right next door to the local Brewery which had an event I attended. But, as in the past, the air conditioning didn't work properly. The cable TV didn't work properly. I ended up just leaving it off. The WIFI worked but was really slow. Last time I will stay there.

Location was perfect to Kern River where my family was camping. Great rate, clean and comfortable spacious room. Will be staying here again next year.
Honestly, I booked this place because Expedia said that it was excellent and that it was really clean and that it was amazing. I’m telling you right now. The reviews are fake. It was awful. There was cockroaches in the restroom. The light wouldn’t even turn off. The AC was leaking it ruined all of my electronics. There was bugs on the bed. There was no fire detector in the ceiling. It was broken and no one would even help us or anything. It was awful. People were awful
