Quaint little motel outside Sequioa National Park’s Foothill Visitor Center / park entrance. Will it blow your socks off, no; but it’s conveniently located, the staff is friendly, and the pool was enjoyed by my kids. It’s better than I’d expect for the price and would stay here again.

The room was comfortable, A/C was cold and refreshing, beds were cozy. The real charm of this property is the atmosphere- the property has sheep, wild turkeys, a hummingbird garden, and they also offered a lot of thoughtful extras- a bowl of ripe peaches for the guests, a great selection of DVDs to loan out, and a map of local restaurants and what sort of food they offered. Really enjoyed our stay here and I will definitely be back the next time we come to see the sequoia trees.
