The hotel was clean and comfy. The scenery was very relaxing and the river was very clean. There was areas for bomb fires and BBQ grills. The office staff were very nice and made you feel at home. We recommend this place 100%.

You can’t get a better location than this! Near the trailheads, and after three days hiking I could sit on the property’s river bank and relax in the shade with the peaceful sound of the river. Clean, updated rooms and super comfy beds made this stay just what I needed! Keep in mind it’s set up more like a motel so the windows overlook the parking lot and not the river, but their outdoor area (picnic tables, fire pits, shaded river bank) easily make up for it!

I was impressed with the updated amenities at the Sierra Inn! The beds were very comfortable and once you closed the door, you couldn’t hear any road noise. It was also very nice to walk around to the back of the Inn to the river and find an abundance of comfy chairs, picnic tables, firepits and bbq ‘s to enjoy. We will be back!

The hotel is very pet friendly. In addition, it is located right next to the river. I did some gold panning while there. It was great fun!
