The restaurant and location to the river.
The room didn't have a good sequoia forest feel, it was more like hollywood.
location to park entrance, restaurant & bar, food & service was excellent
the room was dated , needs updating
This place has character! The location is amazing! The food was very great and the staff super friendly! I will go back!!!!
This is my favorite place to stay right outside sequoia national park. Cute restaurant with great views, cozy rooms, comfy beds and a nice tv.
I wished there was a tub in the bathroom and the prices in the restaurant were quite steep
The beds were super comfy! Slept great. There's a beautiful river right by it with huge boulders. I wish their restaurant was open and they didn't have breakfast. But it was super close to the entrance to the Sequoias!
Restaurant not open.
Beautiful place right on the river. Great restaurant, friendly staff and cozy but clean and comfortable rooms. It's right outside the park entrance. Highly recommend
Dinner, view of the river.
Not really.
The housekeeper. What a VERY pleasant person to meet. She made the stay extra special
Lighting was poor in the room.
