The river Inn was well maintained, even though it had some age on it. Our room was clean and comfortable.

8/10 Very good

We were able to stay in the cabin next to the office. It would be an ideal place for a family to stay. It is like a self-contained living space with full kitchen. Located close to the Sequoia National Park Foothills entrance and very convenient.

2/10 Poor

Had to pick up keys from a different hotel a 15 min drive away because of checking in after 6pm but was given wrong wifi password and because there is zero network service in the area had to drive back to get correct one. TV was not working. Microwave present but not plugged in or with any socket near it. Coffee machine full of someone else's coffee. Location good.

I read the reviews before booking, no surprises found knew what was getting beforehand. Happy with the stay. It was a comfy bed, yes bedding was older. Towels could have been better. If you leave food out you will get the attack of the piss ants. Its definitely a more affordable place vs others in areas. So keeping that in mind its a great place to stay if you are just bedding down for the night. Google reviews are pretty harsh for this place. It was not a disappointment at all. Definitely a pay for what you get. Staff was friendly. Amenities? Well micro and fridge in room. What else are you looking for? Its so close to south entrance of Sequioa NP and that makes it well worth the cost for me.

The hotel was older but the rating was right on. Close to the entrance to the park, and was perfect for a one night stay to get an early start in Sequoia NP. Did have a great meal at the Gateway Lodge just up the road.

The River Inn was exactly what we were looking for! Well situated with a three-minute drive to the Park entrance, It was clean, everything worked, the bed was comfortable, and the check in with Jay was easy and he was lovely and helpful. There is a deli next door called Totem with food and all the amenities you need for the day. No complaints. It was a wonderful overnight trip.

Easy access to Sequoia Natl Park. Comfortable bed. Refrigerator didn't cool as well as expected, but it helped. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel is small with few amenities, but it is very convenient to Sequoia National Park. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Parking was easy and there was a place to eat next door. The fridge barely kept things cold, but the coffee pot was great! It was reasonably priced so there is that!

The room was mostly clean with super clean beds and towels. Just desperately needed vacuuming. Peacefully and relaxing place great for long stays and enjoy the National Parks and beauty.
Good thing we bring our own hair dryer, because this one had been broken.
The room just needed vacuuming, between guests. Clear sequins on the floor and in the doorway.
A set of unused chop sticks along side the base board. Not ours.

Quiet, cheap room close to entrance. Stayed here many times. Co complaints. Wil def stay again. Small store next door is also convenient
Verified review

6/10 Good

This is in a very convenient location just 3 miles from SNP with nearby dining. The entire place is rather old and dated, water heat and pressure were poor, but since we were just sleeping there at night, it was perfect for our needs. The refrigerator in our room leaked on the floor during the night and wasn’t cooling very well. I loved the little table and chairs outside each room where I could sit and watch the traffic and hear the river.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom 2 bath cottage. Its was really nice. With a large living room with fireplace, piano, dining area, large kitchen and 2 bedrooms. They have bbq and firepit outside. This hotel was great for the price we paid and its closest to the Sequoia park entrance. Right next door is a nice cafe/ restaurant and market with everything you need and also a gift shop.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Needed a close-by room, a soft bed, and a safe parking spot after a long day of hiking in Sequoia. Got that covered. Aside from that, room was basic, couple of misses were: only bath towels in room (no hand nor mat, which made bathroom floor very slippy), only one hand soap (so either sink or shower was lacking), and two remotes in room w/ no instruction meant confusion. But, served its purpose!

Only a half mile to the entrance of Sequoia Natl Park. Very reasonable rate ($62 total for late March). Large room. Good bed, new sheets. Bath towels quite worn. All the basic amenities: fridge, TV with streaming networks, AC, hair dryer, etc.

This hotel is right outside of Sequoia National park! It is a small hotel with maybe 12 rooms. The rooms have been redone and are pretty nice. New “wood” flooring. The bed had a great mattress and some of the best bedding. Down side was no hot water after others checked in.

2/10 Poor

I appreciate that this motel is in a remote location but everything felt very tired and a bit grubby so we were glad that we were only there for one night. The location is convenient for Sequoia NP.
