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.

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.

Terrible place to stay even overnight

Extremely Bad maintenance overall.. dirty carpet, uncleaned, scorpion on the bed, bathroom door knob loose / broken, showerhead at odd spot cannot bend easily. It’s as good as someone is living on a campgrounds and not in a hotel for such a high price.

Linens were flimsy and not sufficient for even a one night stay. Had to wait for office to open for our 3:00 check-in. Calling it river inn was misleading as there was no river access or view. Bed and pillows were comfortable but that’s about it. Oilers were in poor working order with some not useable. Would never recommend this place, it should be shuttered!!

We were glad to stay at The River Inn as it was just at the foothills of the Sequoia National Park. There was Totem Marketplace next to the inn and it was awesome. The staff was amazing, their food was delicious and had a huge collection of souvenirs. The highlight of our stay was sighting a black bear cub on the property.

Perfectly fine. Good location. Adequate facilities

I see so many negative reviews for this place. I really don’t know what people are expecting. It is a motel in the middle of nowhere close to a national park. The shower works, the (noisy) AC works, the WiFi works, the TV works. The room was not exactly spotless but it was satisfactory . It is not the Ritz but it is perfectly adequate. I used it as a base to explore and a place to crash at night.

Expectations were low but this hotel managed not to live up to them. Where should I start.. Ants in the room, dirty room, cold shower only, extra charge for air conditioning if you’re not in the room etc. Horribly place - do not go if not absolutely critical and nothing else is available.
