“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.

“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.
