Good place for a short visit
For the price, the accommodations were reasonable. We only stayed overnight. For a one night trip, we were content.

We were denied our guaranteed room
I travel with a Service Animal and proof of her certification. I was told after arriving at the hotel, despite the fact I had sent an email telling them I was coming with my Service Animal, that I could not stay. I believe this was illegal. They stated “we don’t take pets” several times. I corrected them in the statement that my Service Animal was a pet.

The property needs updated. There is mold in the shower area, linen and towels are old and worn. We had a coffee pot that didn’t have a handle. I would not book this property again

We stayed in a standard, and very nice, motel room. It was plenty spacious, had a mini-fridge and coffee maker, and is situated in a beautiful valley with terrific mountain views. The room was very clean and the beds very comfortable. The only negative was the lack of a microwave. One thing to know if you plan to stay there as a base for visiting Sequoia National Park is that the drive up to the park is a climb involving miles of constant switchbacks that take awhile. This is obviously not the fault of the hotel...just something to be aware of.
All in all, this was a good place that we'd recommend to others.

Das schlimmste Erlebnis punkto Hotel.
Es war so schmutzig dass ich nicht bleiben konnte. Auf der Komode waren nich zwei Gabeln mit altem Essen angeklebt. Auf allem war eine Staubschicht die schon sicher ein 1/2 Jahr alt war und der Teppich hat geklebt. Eine einzige Katastrophe. Ich war viel unterwegs auch in meinem Berufsleben aber so etwas habe ich noch nie erlebt. Eine Gutschrift auf meine Karte habe ich auch nicht bekommen mit dem Argument das es mit dieser Buchung keine Gutschrift gibt. Für mich nicht verständlich da das Hotel den Vertrag nicht eingehalten hat. Macht einen weiten Bogen um dieses Hotel. Wir haben bessere gefunden ganz in der Nähe

It is old . Two windows were nailed down to the frame so they can’t be opened. Shower was dripping, I couldn’t sleep the second night. WiFi very spotty, no reception most of the time I was at my room. Had to go out to get reception. Bed was nice and TV programming was good enough to spend the afternoon watching it.

Great location, but the maintenance is really poor. The place needs quite a bit of TLC. Also the tub is very slippery.
