There was a nice view outside the window, the receptionist at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. At the office, they provide dining options within 10 minutes of the property, which was very helpful considering the lack of service in the area. I would recommend bringing inside slippers, the carpet area in the top floor felt like it wasn’t frequently vacuumed.

Cutest little hotel right outside Sequoia NP!

Cutest little hotel right outside of the entrance to Sequoia National Park! Hotel staff, especially Jeanette, are so helpful. She answered all of our questions, suggested restaurants in the area, and was just overall pleasant. The room is appropriate for price and size. The room is generally clean, with the exception of mold in the shower and dust behind items on the counter that were moved during our stay so we could have more room. We do not expect rooms to be absolutely perfect and for what we expect of a hotel, we would definitely stay again.

We arrived at the motel, only to find out that they were over booked and we had been moved to another motel about 10-minutes away. The move may actually have been an upgrade, as we ended up with a king size bed and closer to several restaurant options.

This is a older property at the entrance to Sequoia. Clean but worn. Good for a night or two with close access to the park. Staff was very helpful when we arrived later then expected.

I'm talking to my budget motel travelers right now. This is the definition of a budget motel, so if you're staying there for those specific reasons this is an alright spot!! I needed a quick 6 hours sleep on the way into Sequoia which this is perfect for. But other than that, yeah it's not exactly fancy or nice. There are other spots around for about double the cost of you like nicer amenities. This is as basic as it gets, but it's fine for what you're paying.....my fellow budget travelers will know what I'm talking about
