The only good thing was the location. Staff and service was VERY limited! Room was outdated, dirty, and had ants in it. Note in room read that lights and airconditioner must be turned off when not in room or you will be charged $25.00 a day. Key drop box is an unsecured basket attached to the outside office door. We were accused of taking the room key that was left in the basket after leaving a day early. The missing key remains unresolved at this point. We sent a picture of it in the basket and even called after no response.

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

I liked that this property was safe, quiet and reasonably priced. It was also nearest the park as far as motels went. I liked that there was a little market next door for coffee and good breakfast each morning. The heater was loud and hard to get dialed in, but other than that, it worked fine.
