Looked like a such place on line, but actually rather rundown. AC did work well, i had to leave the door open all night it was so hot! Convenient cafe and market next door was good though.

Convenience to the park is its only attribute. Run down. Barely clean. No room service between nights. Unwelcoming office staff at check in.

Outdated, stained carpet floors, hair on the bed sheets, stairs going to 2nd level was uneven and falling apart. Check-in and check-out was easy/convenient. There was no internet service in town so be sure to print out directions to hotel. They do offer shuttle service to amd from the park. The hotel is way overpriced for what they offer and the condition of the hotel.

I selected the three bed option which turned out to be an entire house. It was nice to have a full size refrigerator, but the price was more than $250 per night. That’s roughly what I spent for a night in downtown San Francisco at the Westin hotel. The TV didn’t work for two nights which was our main complaint.

The gateway to the sequoia. Highly recommend The River inn. The staff are just amazing and super helpful. The room (cabin) was very comfortable. We actually booked a room and wanted to use the grill but it was not available so the put us in the cabin at no additional charge, i was able to cook right in the kitchen. We will be back as this is a great little place

For the price, the accommodations were reasonable. We only stayed overnight. For a one night trip, we were content.

The room had a odd smell and the window air conditioner was not working. The area was having a heat wave. After hiking all day we decided not to stay. Now filing a claim.

This is a older property at the entrance to Sequoia. Clean but worn. Good for a night or two with close access to the park. Staff was very helpful when we arrived later then expected.

We had ants in the bathtub, when turned down, the beds had crumbs in the bed and clearly had not been changed. The bathroom has mold growing in it and smelled like mildew.

Upon arrival, the "cottage" I had reserved wasn't available for an unknown reason. The front desk offered us 2 hotel rooms or a house somewhere off property. Since we had already bought food for cooking breakfast the next morning, we opted for the house. We had to go to a different hotel back in town to get the key. Got the key, put the address we were given into Google maps, but couldn't locate the property. Went back to the hotel, and they had an employee lead us there. It was a headache, but luckily worked out in the end.
