Interior can be better but it is sufficient for one night stay near Sequoia National Park

Location is strategic as it is located near the entrance of Sequioa National Park, which is good to stay the night after a windy road drive up. Will also be a good place if you would like to see sunrise at the peak of the national park.

Great and unpretentious place to stay when visiting Sequoia National Park

The Bar and restaurant were excellent with free food on a Monday night during football season.

Friendly and well located with a great restaurant onsite

The location is great, just outside the entrance to Sequoia National Park. We had a quiet cabin at the back of the property with a deck overlooking the river. The decor is a little dated but the bed was comfortable and the staff very friendly and welcoming. We ate dinner in the attached restaurant which was very good.

Charming Hotel with Excellent Food and Friendly Service at the Entrance of Sequoia Park

This hotel was incredibly charming, located right at the entrance of Sequoia Park. The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. The establishment also features a beautiful terrace by the river, which made for a very pleasant experience.
