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.
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.
It was a great quick stay overnight. I liked it a lot. Definitely coming back!

My room was not available upon arrival. I was accommodating at another hotel but was not happy about it due to location. I picked The River Inn to be close to Sequoia National Park entrance. I was told the new location was close by, it was not.
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.

Check in was horrible. No amenities, no ice machine, no vending machimes.
The Staff Person was very helpful and gave helpful suggestions to make our stay enjoyable.
To help your guests, have enough towels and coffee for all assigned to room.
Have Maintenance Staff pull beds out to clean under head of bed and the a/c unit.
Overall, we would stay here again. Thank you for adding to our traveling experience.
Check in was fast and easy. Heather was fantastic! There was trouble with the t.v. but Heather fixed it immediately. Excellent close proximity to Sequoia National Park! Not fancy but a fun place to stay!👏
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.
