PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE. My wife and I were hoping for a simple quiet evening before an early start in Sequoia NP. That did not happen. Our neighbors were terribly loud, and I asked the Property Staff if we could move to a different room. They said they would call the neighbors and tell them to "be quiet," which only made them more belligerent and increase their noise level. My wife and I hard a very difficult time falling asleep, and were woken up by their slamming doors and barking dogs. I called the Staff again, and they went and knocked on the neighbors door, and my wife and I overheard an exchange where the neighbor yelled at the owner, bullied him until he left. My wife and I were afraid to leave our room at this point now that the neighbors were so agitated. The staff called us and said we could move to a different room, but we would have to pay a fee to do so. I wish we could have just moved to a different room from the start rather than having this situation escalate, and I was perplexed that they would charge us to move to another room. When I asked the next day if they could meet halfway for a partial refund based on our experience, I was brushed aside and hung up on when I tried to call later. I have never had such impersonal and cold service from any lodging experience. PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE. There are plenty of other fine looking lodging options in Three Rivers to explore Sequoia.

Upon arrival at 1am after a long day of driving I came up to this motel with my family to see no lights on, apparently they don’t have electricity during many hours of the night. This should have been the first red flag. Luckily since we were hiking we had some flashlights and sleeping bags. I knew this was a motel when I booked but the least I expected were the sheets to be washed in our room. They were covered in what looked like human body fluids. The toilet was covered in urine and the shower extremely cracked. We had to strip the bed and laid down our sleeping bags. We literally camped inside a motel room. The room we were put in had tons of dead bugs and there was spilled wax all over the kitchenette and floor. We barely slept and got up at 6am when the national park opened and left. I called later to complain but they couldn’t do anything for me since I didn’t do it in person, even when I send photos of everything they basically said too bad. Live and learn!

I got confused with the name. Best Western is a hotel chain. Holiday Inn is a hotel chain. Western Holiday hotel is neither.

It was a good location for what we needed. Enjoyed the river view and the kids playground. There's no breakfast included though as the sign says. Not the friendliest staff but no problems. We would stay there again if in the area .

Really great location and beautiful view and nature around. It’s warmer in the night than in areas near the forest. Still close to the forest and on the way market, restaurants and all staff that you need for winter trip to the mountains. Staff it’s really helpful. The room is clean and comfortable.

We checked in, and the first room they gave us had someone else’s belongings making us think that we got a room that was already taken. Towards the restroom, there were dead bugs littered throughout the floor and on the sink. There was also spider webs and live spiders towards the ceiling. The couches and chairs were noticeably dirty and had dust on them. And there was a lift outside the balcony which someone could easily traverse to get to the balcony. We asked to be moved to a different room. We entered the second room, and checked it out. By the door there were both dead bugs and live bugs - that resembled bed bugs. We left immediately and the receptionist didn’t seem surprised.

The drive at night was so scary! But check in was a breeze. The morning after we got a chance to see some great views from the property itself. Drive up to Sequoia was about 15min which was amazing.

This hotel has a location close to the river that is great, but the good stops there. Missing photos on the wall, ripped curtains, pool, hot tub area, closed with tiles, missing and broken, junk piled everywhere on back of property, which was our view. It took a long time to actually check in as well. I would not recommend this hotel.

We were able to check in early which was nice but the average cleanliness of the hotel was below average. Continental breakfast is advertised but not provided which was disappointing. People are friendly, but ran into a lot of issues such as leaking pipes, cards continually not working properly, and lack of daily housekeeping.

Very disappointing property. Shower did not work, sign outside hotel said “deluxe continental breakfast” but no breakfast. No explanation as to why there was no breakfast. Grounds outside our room were littered with trash. Closest in room was filthy. Needless to say, won’t be staying there again.

Good location and the front office staff was nice, but everything was pretty dirty. We found a trail of dead flies by the window and the sheets smelled. Found a used bandage on the table. We didn’t have issues with hot water like other reviewers mention, but that may have just been luck.

LOVE IT! The lady in the front didn’t explain much about the rooms, or if the breakfast was included, or even the WiFi password. However, the room was clean, the place it’s quite, it has a little spot for the kids to play and also has a pool(because of the weather it was not open) but I will rate this place a 9/10 just because of the lack of communication, everything else was perfect 😊

Don’t stay here it’s a dive.
This place was a dump, we showed up, and the pool was green, that should’ve been the first clue. The staff seem nice, gave us the key to the room, we opened the door, right away it smelled bad. There was mold on the wall. The bathroom wasn’t fully clean because they left a dirty used washcloth in the shower, the beds we turned down the sheets, hair on the bed sheets, hair on the pillows. Furniture was old and dilapidated bugs outside the front door, the furniture, outdoor to enjoy the so-called view, was old and rotten and falling apart. I tried to cancel my reservation, but they forced me to pay for one night I called Hotels.com. They were unable to refund me my full money. I didn’t get the two additional nights back and they gave me a small $35 credit for another stay, I’m still out close to 80 bucks. Do not stay here. We returned the key as fast as we could, and went to a different place.
