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.

This place was so cute. My husband and I stayed here for just one night but we enjoyed the convenience to Sequoia National Park. It was literally minutes to the park entrance! There was a little convenience store with a deli in it next door that we walked to for takeout dinner. That food was delicious. This place is an adorable little gem.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The place was dirty and nasty. I reserved a king but they overbooked and “upgraded” me to a room with 2 queens for the same price. The check in woman tried telling me it was a because it’s more an expensive room… how is that an upgrade if i’m getting a smaller bed but an extra one I won’t use. Blanket and sheets were foul and dirty. Shower disgusting and filthy. I could go on.

Wall outlets by the sink area in the back of roo. just outside the bathroom was not working so we had to move the microwave, coffee maker, and frig towards the front of room which was a hassle. Min staffing so rooms were not cleaned eveyday. Location is great since it's 5 mins drive from Sequoia National Park entrance.

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.

Great place to spend the night heading to the Sequoia National Park, but very “rustic”.. is not worth $200 a night, but $100. Great Staff and conveniently located 2 miles away from the park.
