Room was very cold heater did not keep room warm unless it was set to 85 and then still cold in bathroom and shower water was warm not hot.

2/10 Poor

I unfortunately can't recommend Kernville Inn due to a poor experience. We've stayed before due to its location near family events, but this visit was marred by unwelcoming attitudes, particularly from the front desk manager. Our request for adjacent rooms was inexplicably denied, despite availability. This lack of service continued when I was met with silence while getting a new key after locking mine in my room. More disturbingly, after my niece accidentally damaged a Christmas decoration and hurt herself, the manager confronted us aggressively rather than with concern, even threatening to call the police in front of children. Although housekeeping did provide a clean room and a brief friendly interaction, the intrusive room rules further emphasized a general unwelcoming feeling. Despite this, the local Krampus fair provided some consolation. After discussing with family, we've decided to avoid this hotel in the future due to its significant shortcomings in hospitality.

It's a great place to stay. Our room was a bit small and with virtually no place to work on the laptop. The bathroom was very nice. Everything was clean and neat.

8/10 Very good

My only complaint would be the shower head not having much pressure to it and being very low so you have to bend down to wash your hair and the pillows are way too fluffy for a good nights sleep. Besides those things it’s an amazing experience being so close to everything and very quiet and peaceful. The staff’s was amazing.

Beautiful next to the river. All air conditioning units were all broken in every room and it was over 100 degrees. They didn’t bother to inform us before arrival. It was way too hot to sleep. We ended up checking out at 1 am and drove 2 hours home. The male manager had a less than friendly attitude. Got us once. Won’t get us twice.
