The place was close to the Sequoia National Park. Very friendly at reception and sure enough as stated in other reviews we were greeted by two lovely ladies at reception with their cat sitting on the printer. Rooms were basic but clean and had all the necessities incl a microwave, fridge and coffee machine.
