The River Inn

Extremely dirty… No towels in the room upon arrival. The receptionist told me that he would bring them up but until I went down to the reception to ask for them again I received nothing.
Dead bugs in the room, broken shower curtain caused flooding the bathroom, hair all over the place. The room was way too Icy and could not turn the heater on as it was way too noisy. Highly Unhealthy to sleep at this hotel!!! Very bad Management!!!

Dump. There was a spider in the bed under the bedspread. The shower head was caked in mildew. The carpet wasn’t vacuumed in awhile. The room phone didn’t work so there was no way to let management know. (No cell service in the sequoias either!). Management didn’t care that we checked out a day early.

Stayed here the night before going into Sequoia National Park. It is the closest hotel to the park (1 mile away) reasonably priced (76.00) Victoria is the owner very helpful, gave us information on the park and where to eat. The room had a mini fridge and a microwave. Double queen size beds very comfortable. A little small, but its not like we were moving in. Victoria’s husband came by the following morning to check on us and even offered a 20% discount if we decided we needed and extra day. again, very accommodating. the only thing i didn’t like was that they charge your credit card if you don’t check in right at check in time, which, was an issue because i changed my original reservation from a Saturday to a Friday and it lowered my rate. but was charged the previous rate. i got the difference refunded back though. I would definitely stay here again!

This is NOT closed, under new ownership. Room was huge, very clean, bed was fantastically comfortable. The owner bbq for the guests ($ 10/​plate) on saturday nites. I had deer foraging through the parking lot in the am. The entire experience was very peaceful and relaxing. I’m definitely going again!

Do NOT stay here. Filthy. Bad management. Run down and poorly maintained. Dead bugs all over the office. Not enough parking.

We stayed in The River Inn Motel (NOT Cabins-they’re across the road) in Three Rivers, CA for one evening. We booked it through
(same as Price Line). The price was $ 139/​night, which we thought was pricey for a small town motel, but it is close to the entrance into the Sequoias. We decided to take our dog at the last minute to the Sequoia’s and called Price Line to verify the motel’s policy on pets. The customer service rep physically called the motel and they said they allowed dogs. When we arrived at 9:00 pm on a Friday night, there was a small garage brightly lit with no one around to register us. Finally a disheveled maintenance worker reeking of smoke checked us in on a hand written sheet of torn notebook paper. I received a key that did not open the lock and had to wait until this gentleman reappeared to get an alternate key. We drove into the small town for a late night pizza and after arriving back at The River Inn past ten o’clock, a young foreign man approached us asking me where we were staying, and that dogs are not allowed. The man was either the owner or caretaker, rude in his tone, condescending, and lectured my wife and I about not reviewing his website about their policy on pets. He refused to listen to us when we stated Price Line called their motel and verified that they accepted pets. Going no where, we called Price Line while in front of him to see if we could cancel this reservation. He then received a call from Price Line while in front of us, and he walked away arguing with them on the phone. He returned angry, and said, «fine-​your dog can stay, but no pets means no pets.» If it wasn’t already 11 PM we would have left. We crashed and left early enough in the morning to start the day in the Sequoias. Find a different motel in Three Rivers. There are plenty to choose from. These people don’t deserve your business.

The best mom and pop hotel I’ve every stayed at everything was wonderful there. I’m so sad that the bad economy took the place from them this place was a true gem!

We booked a huge 3 bed room house which sleeps upto 12 people.
Very Expensive, but one of the best houses we stayed in. And also the last place to stay before entering sequoia national park.
I wonder if it would cost the same if we had stayed up the mountain.
DO NOT EVER RENT wooden roadside log cabins. Not very well structured. It has only 1 bathroom for a 3 bed cabin and no exhaust. It was a little stuffy too.
All the shops around this place are expensive, so you have to drive 2 – 3 miles into the city to buy your grocery.
WI-​FI does not work either in CONDOs or in the house.

We stayed for three nights in one of the smaller River Inn cabins, and it was beautiful. It had a compact but totally adequate bathroom, a very cute kitchen complete with dishes and cooking implements, and a clean, comfortable bedroom. Best of all was the back deck, which had been constructed with a hole in the floor so that a tree could grow through and provide shade. The deck looked over a vast expanse of wild growth and river-​smoothed boulders and stones. It was so still and dark at night, an amazing respite from living in LA. On our last night there was a big rainstorm, and our backyard was transformed into a raging river that ran right up to the deck. It was magical.
The owners are accessible and give good advice about the area. Note that two of the cabins offered are actually two halves of a duplex; the back deck is basically shared, with the sides separated by a trellis.
This inn is about as close as you can get to the entrance of the Sequoia. We’re returning again this year and can’t wait!

This motel is extremely quaint and the closest to the entrance of the Sequoia National Park. The bed was surprisingly comfortable (nice sheets and pillows) for a motel and the front desk staff was very friendly. Stayed here on an off season weekday and paid less then I would have for a motel 6. There is a babbling river across the street from the motel portion and a lush green hill that climbs behind that. Rather then making you trudge to the office in your pjs for breakfast they deliver a treat to your doorstep by 7:30. Sad face for me that there was no decent coffee to be had in the vicinity.

We stayed in this motel for 2 nights in Oct. We stayed in the building side and not the cabin. Everything works fine and clean in the room. I read other reviews about the noises of car passing by but we didn’t have any trouble at all. We had the A/​C on all the time so we didn’t hear any traffic. The only complaint that we have is the breakfast item. The pre-​packaged muffin and butter roll seems to be so oily. The fruits were fresh and we also received cans of juices. It’s a nice and quiet place to stay and it’s very close to the park entrance.

«The river is located on the other side of the rocks. There is a swimming hole that a lot of people who stay here like to swim in.»
Hmmm, that peaked our interest! While the cabins were rather rustic, my husband and I loved the back porch that overlooked the rocks that lined the riverbed. We enjoyed sipping wine by candlelight during the late evening, as well as having breakfast out on the porch. We also loved picking our way through the rocks as we walked to the river. Although we didn’t use it, a grill was provided for the guests’ use. One cabin even had an outdoor hot tub.
There were a few negatives such as the older facilities and being located beside the road. The porch, being beside the river, and the cabin’s proximity to the Park and to restaurants easily made up for it. At $ 119 per night, the price was very reasonable.
