The hotel was older but the rating was right on. Close to the entrance to the park, and was perfect for a one night stay to get an early start in Sequoia NP. Did have a great meal at the Gateway Lodge just up the road.

This hotel is right outside of Sequoia National park! It is a small hotel with maybe 12 rooms. The rooms have been redone and are pretty nice. New “wood” flooring. The bed had a great mattress and some of the best bedding. Down side was no hot water after others checked in.

The location is great, just 2 miles away for south entrance to Sequoia National Park. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. They were kind enough to give us a 1-bedroom with a kitchenette in the living room. When the water heater broke, they allowed us to shower in another room. The amenities were mediocre with broken water heater, broken coffee maker and limited lighting. The facility needs an infrastructure improvement for greater business interest for a hotel in such a crucial location.

Rooms were good, but they need to be cleaned, unfortunately they weren't cleaned, one room had only a single shower towel, heaters work well but they can't be regulated, it gets too hot even at lowest warm setting. Overall a good and affordable stay.

I appreciate that this motel is in a remote location but everything felt very tired and a bit grubby so we were glad that we were only there for one night. The location is convenient for Sequoia NP.
