We stayed in the 2 room cottage. The place smelled horrible. I should have asked to look at the room before paying. I thought it would be ok since the reviews were positive. We used the book now pay later option through Expedia. The place is creepy and looks like a horror movie setring from 30 years ago. I would like to add that im not a picky person. I live in a rural area, with lots of dirt and animals. We were 3 adults and 1 toddler. One of the adults was a senior, so we could not pick up and go so easily. Each time we tried to reach out to the owner he wasnt available. We would walk to the front office and make the attempt, with no sucess. The walls are connected to the laundry area, for cleaning staff. All night we could hear the loud beeping sounds. That was really annoying, but that wasn't the worse thing. We kept hearing noises just to discover rodents were running around. Everywhere you looked there was droppings. One morning I got up to grab my phone. As I was doing this I seen the mouse run over the keys of the ancient piano, and run into the fireplace. I'm sure this was the normal route. The bathtub in the bathroom, would not drain. Not once were the trash cans emptied, and we had to ask for towels. We paid a little less than $1k for a nightmare. The trash outside was all scattered throughout or stay. This was not our trash, and was never picked up by anybody. Traps were all around the inside, so they are aware on the infestation. None of us could sleep well.

Location to Sequoia Natl Park was great. It was a long way to Kings Canyon not convienient at all. The room was clean but very dated. The electrical outlets did not work next to the sink with microwave.

This property was in the perfect area in a cute little town, but it has not been updated in a very long time. The room smelled terrible and the towels smelled and appeared to be dirty. The beds and bedding were adequate. The drop off box was not secure when we checked out and anyone could’ve come in and taken those keys.

Picked the location despite the reviews. You could see a few signs of care - nice floors, screen doors, but overall, the place was depressing and used. Towels were like car wash rags, bed was uncomfortable, parking lot was filled with trash. None of it makes sense when you have a location minutes outside Sequoia NP.

Clean and basic.

This place was fine. Very basic. I had a giant suite I guess you’d call it. It was located behind the main office. Had a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. It was clean and comfortable for my needs.

The property was just okay. Not very clean. Limited staff. Internet was extremely limited and usually did not work. The property is very convenient to the parks. It appeared to be on par with the other properties in the city. Three Rivers is a very old town and seems to be dying out.

Not happy

We stayed in no. 11. That’s all I can address fairly. We had no soap or shampoo, there is only one room air conditioning in the living room and none in the bed room. The couch could not be sit on comfortably. There were absolutely no utensils or plate yet there was a store and microwave. There was no end tables to put you beverage on and the table chair had one leg broken, The fan in the bed room sleeked at night. Be prepared to pay a service fee forr using a credit card. We wanted to pay by cash for that reason but they don’t accept cash! The location was good though.

I stayed one night and, since none of the doors in my room had a dead bolt, I worried about my safety. I have seen the chairs in a better condition by the curb, than what I had in my room. The shower was constantly dripping water. None of the draws were ever cleaned or so it looked. The fridge though was full size and worked well.

Needs Improvement

The main light in the bedroom did not work, ants were around the sink, dirty wash cloth still hanging over the shower, no tissues were stocked in the rooms and a partial half gallon of milk was left in the mini fridge. In my friend’s room the shower head was ineffective and no soap. More attention was needed to detail.

Super close to Sequoia National Park entrance. Very old motel but it was not dirty inside the room. Plus were the fridge, microwave, and ice machine. Very weird check in after 9pm. You have to stop at the Western Holiday which is about 10 minutes south of River Inn. Good thing I called the inn at 3pm and the lady told me. I called all day but no one picked up til around 3pm.
