clean room, friendly staff, fun (and well decorated?) environment. only drawback is the heater's noise, like jet plane taking off 😂 but they do offer extra blankets being clean and easily accessible on an overhead shelf, so we still survived on a late January night without the heat on. hey, it's a great deal for its price.

Loved my stay at this super cute ranch motel. Bed was a bit dated and fairly creaky, but otherwise the room was perfect for my needs as a base camp for visiting Sequoia NP. Already planning to stay here again sometime.

We were given the wrong accommodations. We ordered a king bed and given (2) beds? The beds were very uncomfortable to sleep on. There was a spider crawling on the wall by the window. The heating was a potable heater? Really? The shower got really hot then immediately turn ice cold?

Amazing place to stay when visiting the Sequoia National Park! It is only a 15 minute drive to the park and about 1 hour to the General Sherman Tree. The motel was amazing, super clean, super nice, and it is connected to nature. Staff was super helfpul and kind! I would recommend it 100% and wpuld definitely come back whenever I am back in the area.

I shared a spacious room with my 2 adult kids at Lazy J"s and we were very comfortable. 2 queens AND 2 singles . Clean comfortable bedding, extra blankets (our trip was in Nov) , enough towels in the bathroom. Maid service replaced everything correctly each day. We drove up from LA and arrived at 8:45 pm but were still welcomed at reception.Very friendly atmosphere. Parked right in front of our room. As it was dark when we arrived we had no idea what lovely views would greet us the next day. Great place to drive into Sequoia National Park each day. Room had fridge & microwave & coffee machine so we were able to eat in room. Had a wonderful stay. Humming birds galore!!!
