Great little homey place.

Hotel was in a great location for the parks. It is older and small but it was comfortable. The little restaurant was excellent and priced well. The food did not let us down. Only thing that could make this better is new towels.

Worst place we have ever stayed!!

This was the worst place we have ever stayed in our entire life! When we arrived at night, we noticed that the other guests were sitting in the chairs outside their room. We found that strange, but when we entered the room, we realized why. The room very small! It was was slightly bigger than the bed. The carpet in the room looked like it had not been changed out in a VERY long time! The bathroom was extremely small and cramped. In the bathroom there one very small sink (no counter at all), a toilet and small shower. The shower was sponge painted with black, gray and white paint. (We skipped showering!) There was a tiny, tiny closet space that was converted iinto a place to put the tiny plastic coffee pot. There were no night stands and no place to put our luggage so we put it on the top bunk bed above the lower bed. It was ridiculous! We booked 3 nights, but it was so bad that we cut our trip short and left a day early, forfeiting our third night. There was no way we were going to stay there another night. We are not picky travelers. Motel 6 is fine with us, but this place will forever be remembered as the worst place we have ever stayed!
Super small room
No place to put our luggage or clothes
Very small bathroom and sink

Lovely place with an excellent restaurant that stays open till 10 pm which gave us time to complete our hikes without stress. Friendly staff. Met friendly guests all going to Sequoia. A very good place to stop for rest and food.

I have lived in the USA for 30 years and have stayed in many hotels across the country. Unfortunately, this is by far the WORST hotel experience I have ever had. The location is right on the main road, so I could hear every single car passing by — very noisy and disruptive. The room was extremely small, dirty, and had a strong moldy smell. The two single “beds” were barely beds at all — more like cots. The sheets were awful; honestly, I could have bought better sets at Walmart or Target for $15. The food wasn’t terrible, but it was overpriced. The menu was misleading — for example, the “Chicken Caesar Salad” was listed at $15, but then it said “Add chicken add $10.” When I asked the waitress, she confirmed that adding chicken would bring the total to $25. Also, when I asked for a water refill, the waitress simply pointed to a water jar next to our table and told us to refill ourselves, even though the restaurant was nearly empty at 10:30 PM. BTW, a man checking in around the same time(10:00pm) was turned away despite having a reservation email because his name was not on their list. The hotel was completely sold out, and he had to find accommodations elsewhere. I would never stay here again, and I would strongly advise others to avoid this place.
