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.

Property was fair, but when I tried to check in they were trying to tell me they over booked and was trying to send me to another hotel although I booked a month ahead. When I confronted her all of sudden they had a cancellation. They had towels that I wouldn’t use as a rags, their bed was so springy, slightest movement would shake and rattle.

Outdated

Convenient location! This was the only place left last minute! It was fine for one night. The room was pretty musty and the whole inn is pretty outdated. No amenities. Our room was full of ants. Felt like the price was pretty high for what we got but I suppose that's location for ya!

This should be a last resort hotel choice. (It was for us as no availability anywhere close) Old mattresses, bedspreads, shower and the loudest a/c unit ready to fall out of the wall. Also, if you check in after 9pm you have to go elsewhere to get your key. On the bright side, you can’t beat the price and we didn’t see any bugs in our room and not terribly far from sequoia natl park entrance.
