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.

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 broken door knob, outdated shower door and faucet.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.

We stayed here after a day in Sequoia NP. The motel was convenient and a short drive to the entrance of the park. Unfortunately it was extremely hot during our stay, but the AC unit inside did its job and kept us cool enough. Would stay again
