The property is very close to the park. Room was clean, quiet, and just next to the little river. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning!

Dirty, filthy old room, disgusting floor, stain bedsheets, and towels. Very limited outlet and broken light bulbs. Dirty air conditioning filter.. broken microwave. Dirty refrigerator.. broken door knob, outdated shower door and faucet. Definitely never come back and now recommended to anyone to stay at this filthy place. Charge more than what was listed when check in.

No cups

They provided a coffee maker and coffee pods, but no cups of any kind. There was only one trash can. The carpet had not been vacuumed in a while. Pillows were great and the bed comfy.

Great place to spend the night heading to the Sequoia National Park, but very “rustic”.. is not worth $200 a night, but $100. Great Staff and conveniently located 2 miles away from the park.

3 nights from hell!1

The property has staff onsite only 3-9 PM. Staff were useless. Couldn’t answer any questions. Room needed an exterminator. Flying bugs, roaches, fleas and a bug a local exterminator couldn’t identify. Was 5 minutes from Sequoia. If I had known I would have booked elsewhere.

This is definitely a get what you pay for situation. Well worn trying to be clean but a fail. In this type of situation it's best to go with a chain. This was the only option at the time.
