I pretty much like everything about this place. It wasn't my first time there as I used to work there 30 years ago and decided to bring the family to see the sites in the area. Even though it's not owned by the same people as it was when I worked there, it still has the same charm and friendly staff as it always had. And I love having the river and downtown emenities within walking distance without feeling like you are "in town".

The river walk was closed due to renovations due to flood damage from previous years.. But that's not the Kernville Inn's fault... Only real complaint I have is that the beds are a little too soft for my liking, I'm used to sleeping on a firm memory foam mattress and my back didn't like it at all. But is a personal preference on my part and the beds were nice and clean otherwise.

The Kernville Inn is a very pleasant old world motel in the delightful town of Kernville. The rooms are very comfortable; always well prepared on arrival. Even though it is a lodge-style motel, the WiFi is reliable and robust. Kernville has a reasonable set of dining options but you do need to check which establishments are open, and when. I also get the sense that Kernville has been "discovered" as a tourist destination and may get busy in high season.

The room needed a little maintenance attention. One lighting circuit is taped off; the plug on the wash basin seized closed so one could not wet shave with a bowl of hot water. These are minor niggles which should not put people off, but do need attention.

The staff were all super kind. The room we got was incredibly private, clean and very very cold (that AC was BOMBBBB). The location was amazing. Everything was super simple and straight forward. Thanks kernville inn for making our vacation stress free. We'll definitely be back.

The only thing that I would warn people of is that the locals don't take too kindly to young, brown alternative folk (if you know you know). But that is at no fault of Kernville Inn, yalls staff was amazing and welcoming.

The room was clean and stayed clean, thanks to housekeeping.. The temperature of the room was perfect even in the heat of the day.. No loud and inconsiderate neighbors. This place was conveniently located within walking distance to eateries, the river, and a small farmers market. We didn't get to try the pool, but it looked clean from where I was standing at the office. I was checked in and out by two lovely ladies who made the process very seamless.

No cons

A nice little inn in the center of Kernville! Our room was spacious and quiet, and the bathroom seemed to be newly remodeled. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is within walking distance of lots of restaurants, activities, and the local museum (which I highly recommend!). The pool was also very well maintained and nice to relax in after some adventuring in the local area.

Everything was great!

Perfect location right in the middle of town. With the comfy outdoor chairs you can either take in the early morning and watch the resident squirrel feeding from the tree box or have a relaxing drink in the evening before you go to bed. Huge rooms with very comfortable beds. Large fridge to keep your drinks cool. Modern bathroom. Solid traditional feel. In close proximity to local microbrewery with great beer and food. All the activities on Kern river in walking distance. Very quiet at night. Staff very helpful and friendly. A place you would always be happy to return to.

The manager of Kernville Inn was very honest and helpful. I thought that Kernville was at Sequoia national park, while it was 3 hours drive from there. However, the manager of Kernville Inn accepted, at last minute, to change our reservation from two nights to one night, and reimbursed us for one night. The place was nice and clean. There is a good brewery nearby and a very nice river.

The lady at the front office was not very knowledgeable regarding the possible activities to be done in the area. But she was still very kind.

Kernville Inn has amazing walkability, is directly across from the Kern river, and feels safe to tuck into for the night. We enjoyed dinner at the diner next door, walked the town a bit, swam until the sun started to go down, then rocked on the porch until bedtime. We did not use the laundry facilities, but they appeared clean. We loved the room and were very well rested for the next days' trip.

I liked that there was a pool, even though it was closed for the season. It could be great for summer time. I liked that I can park my car In front of my suite. Lovely place.

Maybe the check in time to make it at 2pm. So we don’t have to wait until 3pm. Other than that, everything was good.

Loved the room - spacious, comfy bed, three windows, perfect location. We’ve been here several times. Lots of good art in the room, too.

The office staff always seem to be crabby, not friendly and not eager to be helpful. The cleaning crew is very nice and friendly!
