Outdated, stained carpet floors, hair on the bed sheets, stairs going to 2nd level was uneven and falling apart. Check-in and check-out was easy/convenient. There was no internet service in town so be sure to print out directions to hotel. They do offer shuttle service to amd from the park. The hotel is way overpriced for what they offer and the condition of the hotel.

While the room appeared to have new flooring and some new paint, the ceilings, bathroom tile, air vents, and windows were dirty. The thin sheet didn't fit on the bed and kept coming off. There was no mattress protector on the bed and it appeared to be a fairly old mattress. We had planned to eat breakfast at the business next door shortly after 7 am based on information provided at check in. However this information was inaccurate and we had to locate a breakfast option 30 minutes away which impacted our plans for the day. If you rent a room with a kitchenette like this one, realize it is not furnished with items for cooking.

Room was not ready when we checked in at 4PM. We left our bags and later returned to find the room to be unclean. Next day, we reminded the cleaning staff to clean the room. They said "yes", but it was not cleaned. When I checked with the front desk in the evening, I was told that, they will not clean the room on a daily basis. We had to clean ourselves. This is not okay.

The property is really rundown and it was pretty dirty, especially the carpet. There are no outlets near the bed to charge anything. The AC didn’t work great and the room was a sauna when I arrived. It is very close to the start of sequoia, but honestly you’d be better off to stay in Fresno and enter on the kings canyon side. It takes an hour to drive into sequoia from oakhurst and I WAY over paid for this stay and the conditions.

It was very close to sequoia national park. The price was reasonable. Great little cafe next-door. Not many amenities. The bed was fine. Sheets were rough. Toilet wiggled badly. The shower was very difficult to regulate and then shut off. The coffee carafe was dirty. With a little effort, it would be a nice place to stay. The place was older and a little worse for wear.

There was no one on-site for check-in or duration of the stay.....took more 20 minutes fir someone to show up. We arrived at4pm and called number but no one answered so called an alternate number to finally get someone headed to let us in. First room had a toilet that ran constantly....2nd room had major issues with TV. Other than that the room was very clean.

Okay for sleeping there and that’s all.

It was good enough to sleep there. The room looked like it wasn’t vacuumed but we didn’t care since we were just there to sleep after exploring sequoia. Room had a funny smell but cleared up after leaving windows open and turning on the AC. Water was very foggy the second we turned it on but cleared up after a few seconds. It was an alright stay. Good enough to sleep with a working AC. 3 stars
