Outdated
Convenient location! This was the only place left last minute! It was fine for one night. The room was pretty musty and the whole inn is pretty outdated. No amenities. Our room was full of ants. Felt like the price was pretty high for what we got but I suppose that's location for ya!

Comfortable stay
Was conveniently located to Sequoia National Park. Housekeeping could have been a little better, but overall was acceptable. The staff was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place.
It was very relaxing and had plenty of places to eat nearby.

Needs Improvement
The main light in the bedroom did not work, ants were around the sink, dirty wash cloth still hanging over the shower, no tissues were stocked in the rooms and a partial half gallon of milk was left in the mini fridge.
In my friend’s room the shower head was ineffective and no soap. More attention was needed to detail.

Clean, pleasant and amazing location.
The staff were so nice and helpful with local recommendations. The room was old but super clean and everything worked fine. Cant beat the location or the cafe/market next door.

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.

Looked like a such place on line, but actually rather rundown. AC did work well, i had to leave the door open all night it was so hot! Convenient cafe and market next door was good though.

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.

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.
