Gena's Sierra Inn was an okay option for a last minute stay near Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park. Its 15-20 mins outside the park and 5 mins down the road theres a gas station and a good coffee shop. My stay was okay because the carpet in the room was a bit dirty. There was also 3 small dead bugs (1 on the inside of the front door, 1 in the side room/closet and 1 in the cealing by the top bed/bunk bed). The room size was a bit small. It was like the size of regular bedroom in typical house (though it might be a bit too small for some people specially when you compare it to a typical room in a hotel). The shower had low water pressure but it worked. The beds were comfortable and the room filled its purpose to provide a shower and a bed. So if you're looking for somewhere spacious to relax and spend the night, Gena's might not be for you. But if u just need a place to shower and sleep, then visit Gena's Sierra Inn. *stayed here on 8/3/25 with 2 other ppl (1 child and 1 other adult)

Budget friendly, close to Kings Canyon/Sequoia NPs

While we needed up enjoying our stay, I was surprised to find out it was a mini cabin in a converted shed with shared bathrooms/showers (for 6 cabins). It was not listed on Hotels.com, though I guess it was in the confirmation email the Inn sent me. It needed up being fine, all part of the experience and price was very affordable. Bed was comfy, shower was hot with a rain head, outer and inner locks on bathrooms/showers. The restaurant on site had great food, good local beer selection and friendly staff. A great place to sleep when visiting Kings Canyon and/or Sequoia NPs as it is very close to both.

Sad I used to love this place till it became unsaf

This is my second time coming here I love the atmosphere and area but the owners just let their dogs run around and have no recall which ruins the atmosphere for me and my dog. They ran up to my dog (who’s on leash so that escalates tension) 2 on 1 which is entirely scary for my dog and I. Insisting “they’re friendly” doesn’t matter in dog language it’s disrespectful and intimidating. so we’re both rattled and ruined our whole stay the owner was very rude about it trying to blame me for removing my dog from the situation when she had zero control over both dogs. Caused a lot of anxiety and shakiness:( Upsetting won’t be coming back now.

A 'Chalet' Diamond in the Rough

I have stayed in really bad places. This is not one of them, but could have been much, much better. It is a contractors trailer converted to a 'Chalet'. Kinda. If you look at the pictures online, they are NOT what you are getting. We stayed there June 4, 2025. You would think this is a wonderful place right next to a flowing stream (from the pictures). It is only June, and it is bone dry and dusty. There is a dirt/gravel drive down to the Chalet -- short but steep. But you wanted to be 'away', right? The pictures do not show the huge black water tank. Nor do they show the 'every 5 minutes' running water pump. Ok, lets go inside. You do not get the large kitchen shown in the pictures, you get a very small microwave, small refrig, dishes, table and coffee maker. (they are not shown in the picture). There is NO storage for clothes, in fact that small stand in the pics is no longer there. In its place on the wall is a gas heater (good thing the weather was warm, because even tho there are signs 'do not unplug', it was unplugged). If you like really hard beds you are in luck, because the bed is HARD. The bathroom is ok --- there is even a soap dispenser there (that is labeled 'for dishes'). The shower is nice, but the hot water continues to go very hot then cold then hot. The TV did not work (a battery missing from the Roku remote). The 'patio' consists of two slightly dusty chairs and a glass table, and the BBQ has no propane tank. It is a little 'rough'....
