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.

Met our needs

Our room was dirty and dusty but the bed was clean and comfortable. The coffee maker, microwave and remote did not work. I had to clean when we checked in. But the staff at the desk rectified everything else right away. The location was great, close to Sequoia with food options close by. Very pretty spot.

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.

Location to Sequoia Natl Park was great. It was a long way to Kings Canyon not convienient at all. The room was clean but very dated. The electrical outlets did not work next to the sink with microwave.

Clean and basic.

This place was fine. Very basic. I had a giant suite I guess you’d call it. It was located behind the main office. Had a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It was clean and comfortable for my needs.

We stayed here after a day in Sequoia NP. The motel was convenient and a short drive to the entrance of the park. Unfortunately it was extremely hot during our stay, but the AC unit inside did its job and kept us cool enough. Would stay again

Comfortable stay

Was conveniently located to Sequoia National Park. Housekeeping could have been a little better, but overall was acceptable. The staff was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place. It was very relaxing and had plenty of places to eat nearby.

Outdated

Convenient location! This was the only place left last minute! It was fine for one night. The room was pretty musty and the whole inn is pretty outdated. No amenities. Our room was full of ants. Felt like the price was pretty high for what we got but I suppose that's location for ya!
