To this date, this was the cleanest property I've stayed. Even though the main road is a hundred yards away, the property is very quiet during my stay. One concern that might bother some is the entrance to the property from the main road could deserve some more help. Transitioninto the property can benefit some looking into.

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.
