    • Location Half mile from entrance to national park. And restaurant overlooked rushing stream below.
    • Very nice stay. The river was flowing strong and the motel and restaurant were right on it.
    • Awesome location and atmosphere, the staff is very friendly, I'll definitely will book at the Gateway Restaurant and Lodge in the future.

    Cons -

    • Food mediocre at best and room TV defaulted to a ROKU purchase. None of the staff could tell me how to access free TV and the major networks. In the bar where you check in for your room and dinner, the multiple tv sports screens showed an early season ho
    • The room didn't have a good sequoia forest feel, it was more like hollywood.

    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

    Not really.

    The housekeeper. What a VERY pleasant person to meet. She made the stay extra special

    Lighting was poor in the room.
