It was easy to check-in, easy to check-out, so close to Sequoia NP, and quiet.

Great place to spend the night heading to the Sequoia National Park, but very “rustic”.. is not worth $200 a night, but $100. Great Staff and conveniently located 2 miles away from the park.

We stayed here after a day in Sequoia NP. The motel was convenient and a short drive to the entrance of the park. Unfortunately it was extremely hot during our stay, but the AC unit inside did its job and kept us cool enough. Would stay again

Way too expensive for the quality of the place (old and rundown). It felt really run down and the area seemed a bit sketchy.

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.

The location was great.The property definitely needs some update.But for the price it was okay didn't see much of the staff.Everything closed up pretty early, so had to drive to Eat Places.But as far as location for the sequoia park perfect

This is definitely a get what you pay for situation. Well worn trying to be clean but a fail. In this type of situation it's best to go with a chain. This was the only option at the time.

I was charged extra, I was sent to roam multiple places before I could get to the stay for check in and collecting keys. No clear directions on the address, we ere stranded on a narrow road in the dark with kids for about 2 hours. Cockroaches in the property

Convenience to the park is its only attribute. Run down. Barely clean. No room service between nights. Unwelcoming office staff at check in.
Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025

4/10

Outdated, stained carpet floors, hair on the bed sheets, stairs going to 2nd level was uneven and falling apart.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.

Exelente lugar

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
