Terrible place to stay even overnight

Extremely Bad maintenance overall.. dirty carpet, uncleaned, scorpion on the bed, bathroom door knob loose / broken, showerhead at odd spot cannot bend easily. It’s as good as someone is living on a campgrounds and not in a hotel for such a high price.

Disliked: Amenities
Linens were flimsy and not sufficient for even a one night stay. Had to wait for office to open for our 3:00 check-in. Calling it river inn was misleading as there was no river access or view. Bed and pillows were comfortable but that’s about it. Oilers were in poor working order with some not useable. Would never recommend this place, it should be shuttered!!

We were glad to stay at The River Inn as it was just at the foothills of the Sequoia National Park. There was Totem Marketplace next to the inn and it was awesome. The staff was amazing, their food was delicious and had a huge collection of souvenirs. The highlight of our stay was sighting a black bear cub on the property.

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.

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.

Dirty, filthy old room, disgusting floor, stain bedsheets, and towels. Very limited outlet and broken light bulbs. Dirty air conditioning filter.. broken microwave. Dirty refrigerator.. broken door knob, outdated shower door and faucet. Definitely never come back and now recommended to anyone to stay at this filthy place. Charge more than what was listed when check in.

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.
