Quiet clean. We got the river view room facing west. Seen sun set over the ridge. They donā€™t clean the room everyday and staff is short. We bump into the lady to ask extra towels. Swimming pool is cold.

Good for some folks
We just stayed for one night along our journey up north. The room was clean and well maintained. The pool looked clean and inviting, but we didn't swim in it. The property has a nice, lodge feel to it. Everything was operable in the room, my only complaint was the room clearly hasn't been updated since the 80s. So the mattress was less than supportive, the wall A/C was noisy and barely adequate, the common areas were not maintained; the planters were overgrown with weeds. . . but all in all, the room was quiet and functional and it satisfied my (not the wife's) needs. Management was very nice to work with.

We came up last minute to river raft. Juanita checked us in and out and she was super helpful, friendly, definitely a local to the area, and sent me text messages ahead of time to welcome me and get me settled if she wasnā€™t in the office after 6pm. Our back room door was locked shut with a screwdriver and the bathtub didnā€™t work. But we had enough beds to sleep and a shower and a microwave and small college dorm size fridge and that was plenty for the two days we were there. Itā€™s three minutes away from Sierra south river rafting expeditionā€™s, and restaurants. Has a nice pool and a trail to walk down to the river. We will be coming back next year and would stay here again.
