The room was big and comfortable. The location hasa huge advantage that its close to the park, but its disadvantage is limited food options close by. Price was reasonable. The showerhead in the bathroom kept leaking, thats my only minor gripe with the stay. Otherwise, a very nice place to stay for a trip to Sequoia NP.

Great beds, blackout window coverings, parking and access from the road. Super helpful office manager. Some deferred maintenance (shower head leaking and shower door latch inoperative). Quiet after I unplugged the refrigerator. Heater unit very effective. Cold at my visit so did not use air conditioner. Internet service spotty in the back county location. Overall good sleep and excellent, helpful office manager. Be aware that office not manned 24/7 so see web site for hours of service.

The place was dirty and nasty. I reserved a king but they overbooked and “upgraded” me to a room with 2 queens for the same price. The check in woman tried telling me it was a because it’s more an expensive room… how is that an upgrade if i’m getting a smaller bed but an extra one I won’t use. Blanket and sheets were foul and dirty. Shower disgusting and filthy. I could go on.

I appreciate that this motel is in a remote location but everything felt very tired and a bit grubby so we were glad that we were only there for one night. The location is convenient for Sequoia NP.

After reading mixed reviews, I didn’t know what to expect. I had booked a standard King room, but upon check in we were given a back room that had a small kitchen and a back door. Did not feel comfortable with that room, but later they were able to switch us to a standard room in the front building. Looks like they have been doing upgrades since the pictures I saw, the floor, bedding and new screens were nice. Seemed decently clean. It’s an older hotel, so some fixtures show that but we expected that. We ended up having a nice stay overnight.

I don't recommend. Room#5...horrible smell. Outlet for mucrowave and fridge didn't work. Fridge smelled. Moved us to room #10...none of the lights worked. Not one. Room #9 was ok but not clean. When I advised the staff of room 5 shecwas ok but when I came back to tell her the lights didn't work in #10 she gave out a big sigh as if I was bothering her. Sorry but I like working lights. This place needs an overhaul.

This place was nothing like the photos online. Absolute SCAM! The bedsheet was nasty, smelly, and covered with hair and small trash, so we had to sleep on top of the bed cover and use our own blanket. We even put our clothes on the pillowcase to avoid touching it. The bathroom was dirty, and there were only a few napkins and toilet paper, so we had to use our own. We also heard mouse noises coming from the kitchen cabinets and had to block the door with a blanket to keep them out, which made the room cold since the heater couldn’t reach us. Overall, the whole place was filthy, smelly, cold, and misleadingly advertised.

Wall outlets by the sink area in the back of roo. just outside the bathroom was not working so we had to move the microwave, coffee maker, and frig towards the front of room which was a hassle. Min staffing so rooms were not cleaned eveyday. Location is great since it's 5 mins drive from Sequoia National Park entrance.

There were mice in the room. We saw them behind/under the TV cabinet. Upon further inspection, we opened the 3 drawers of the cabinet and found feces in an abundant amount in all 3 drawers. We immediately left the room and cut our stay short.
