8/10 Very good

Restaurant was horrible. Food was mediocre at best. Very high, priced and service. Very slow. We waited at least 45 minutes for the meal and there were no instructions on how to order just two big screens. Room was very stuffy with no way to control heat and air conditioning and only had one fan in the corner. But positively staff at the lodge. Very nice fireplace was great with tables to sit around and play games just the place we needed to relax after a long travel day.

4/10 Fair

Vastly overpriced, shabby condition, best avoided

I am still struggling to comprehend how the property can justify charging what it does for such a totally underwhelming experience, and how different an experience that is compared to a nearby Lodge which is run by the same company. John Muir Lodge clearly has potential, and possibly was great once, but there is a distinct air of "we've got a captive audience and as such are completely apathetic to the guest experience". The rooms are tired and in need of renovation (our slat blind was broken for example, and the shower water was either low pressure and scaling or adequate pressure and cold - as such the 5 min "shower challenge" is easily achieved despite the timer being missing) and the facilities provided are poor - the three sorry looking grocery store-style refrigerators were very poorly stocked. The dining experience provided by the offsite restaurant is little better than a well known fast food restaurant (large touchscreens to order off a very limited and poor quality menu) but again charging "captive audience" prices. The walk from the Lodge to the restaurant also highlights general dilapidation of other buildings on site which only reinforces the "past its best" ambience. The most galling thing is that the other Lodge, a 45 min drive away, is SO much better and yet cheaper! I'd strongly advise passing on the John Muir and driving the extra distance.
