I liked that this property was safe, quiet and reasonably priced. It was also nearest the park as far as motels went. I liked that there was a little market next door for coffee and good breakfast each morning. The heater was loud and hard to get dialed in, but other than that, it worked fine.
This property is terrible and I recommend Expedia to take it out from there list. It was terribly dirty, carpet not even vacuumed, dishwasher had mould which was not cleaned in ages. Bed was mounted on brick which could have hurt kids. It is horribly maintained with old food left in pantry, teared curtains. They threw (or steal???) my bag of food which was surely worth of $90-$100.. Property management was not even aware of my bookings. They were under impression that it was booked for only one night which I had to contest. Very very poor experience and not a good year end or start of new year. Hope Expedia takes strong note of this.
We were waiting 30 minutes to check in. When we receive our key and went to the room it turned out that room was not cleaned (sheets were not changed, dirty carpet, wet towel in the bathroom). So we went back to complain and try to change room. The receptionist informed us that they are full booked and that she can give us clean sheets and we can change them. I instead that she need to do that.
We were on property at 5:20 but with long checking in and changing sheets we could use room before 7pm
There were 4 outlets in the room but only one of them where working. TV and one of laps were not working.
Carpet and bathroom where very dirty..
We stay there only because even around was booked and we have no choice.
Great spot to rest if you’re visiting Sequoia. The place next door is cool, has decent dining options and the staff is helpful and knows the area. It covers the basics, nothing fancy, but everything is clean and in good shape.
There is no towel except the one that the previous customer used in the bathroom. You need to ask for it. The water temperature is not stable. You can't take a shower with extremely hot and freezing water. I had a cold because of the thin sheet. This is the most terrible motel I have ever lived in. We booked 2 nights, but we took one night only. Then we had to book another motel for one night. It ruins our trips. Do not book this motel. I will be sorry if you book this motel.
I booked and paid on Expedia; the front desk still charged my card when I checked in. I thought it's just a deposit, but was not refunded after I checked out. I waited many business days, still no refund. I called the hotel many times, no one answered. I also messaged through Expedia twice, no reply.

Was not horrible for an overnight stay, wasn’t the nicest place but for the price it was great! After a long drive it was great for a few hours of sleep to head out the next morning!
Could be cleaner but it had just what I needed. The restaurants near by were really good and there’s a market/deli next door. View was nice, plenty of parking and just 5 minutes from the park entrance. Great location.
Worst place ever to spend a night.. wish i knew before getting there .. called in advance and no one answered nor returned the phone call back .. the room was dirty .. the fridge my god … super dirty i really advice and warn people before booking this inn .. really really terrible service .. thank god we had extra blankets with us .. DISGUSTING place. Don’t even bother coming there
