Riverview is on the other side of a road with camping sites between. Loud generator directly in front also blocking river view and running continuously.

Don’t stay

In terrible condition. There were mice traps in the room. We rate this below zero in every category. Should be removed from options of hotels.

Described as historical and rustic - actually run-down and dirty. We never saw any staff or anyone in the office. Thankfully, a lovely park was located across the street, The Kern River is a beautiful area, but recommend finding somewhere else to stay.

We chose this location to be next to the river and our room was on the opposite side of the river, and we were not aware of this beforehand. The room hadn’t been cleaned in months. Dust hanging from the walls, and a dead bat in one of the windows. Layers of mold in the shower and one shower door completely broken off of the track. The sheets were too small for the bed. They kept coming off of the mattress and were not big enough for both of us to be covered all night. One night we were awakened by a couple fighting in the street with management not taking any action until I asked for the police to be involved. My husband walked to an area of the lake that was only for customers of the hotel and was asked to leave. Having to explain that you’re a paying customer of this establishment is ludicrous! If you choose this hotel, DO NOT STAY IN ROOM 5!!!! I hope someone from the department of health or the BBB reads this and makes a surprise visit.

Total dump. I believe the rooms were converted sheds. 2 night stay for 2 rooms and only stayed one night. No water pressure. TV didn't work. Door locks were not secure. Had to tie the doors closed from inside the room.

Loud & Dirty

The check-in was easy and friendly. However the property needs maintenance and a deep cleaning and the door lock was tricky. Chipping paint, very dusty and black mold in the shower. Being right next to the road you can hear EVERY car tire roll by
Mold in shower
Hole in wall/chipped paint
