DO NOT BOOK here The amount you booked thru expedia app is not accepted and they will charge you a different amount on site. I do not understand how is this advertised on the app. Be careful! Do research thoroughly before booking. There is nothing that expedia can do. As for the room/ property, it should be rated as a motel, not an inn. Their check-in time is 3:00 PM. That is literally 3:00 PM. If you come in 30 minutes prior so you can check with the customer service, there is no one in the office. You’ll have to wait in the hot car until someone will come to the office by 3:00 PM. So plan your travel accordingly. The sheet was dirty, bedsheets showed hair underneath the pillow and there were crumbs around. Dust was all over the vanity area.

Room was only marginally clean on arrival and it the 3 days we stayed it was not cleaned even once. Carpet is worn and unpleasant. In general, there is lack of investment in the property, which is a shame because the location is good. The only positive points were the internet speed and hot water in the shower. And of course the proximity to the natural park.

The River Inn in Three Rivers offers a convenient location just outside Sequoia National Park, making it an ideal base for nature lovers. The proximity to a nearby store is a significant plus for grabbing food and essentials without having to travel far. The property is notably quiet, despite its closeness to the highway, allowing for a peaceful night's sleep. Additionally, the air conditioning effectively kept the room at a comfortable temperature, and the fast WiFi was a pleasant surprise. However, the motel undoubtedly shows its age and is in dire need of renovation. Cleanliness was marginal, especially in the bathroom, which detracted from the overall experience. Furthermore, the electrical outlets were worn and struggled to hold plugs securely. The ambience is clearly that of an old motel that feels as though it's merely hanging on, lacking the charm that could come with updates or renovations. Overall, while The River Inn's location and some amenities are commendable, the cleanliness and maintenance issues are significant downsides that travelers should consider.

Ok place on a budget
It was a good place besides it being a little run down looking and a little dirty looking. It is old and could use a little deep cleaning but for the $$ we spent just to sleep for a night and be on our was it was worth it.

I liked that it was simple, clean and rustic. The man at the office was very friendly and accommodating. I didn't Ike that the places to eat were so far away, however the pizza we had was very good. I noticed though that the prices were too high. Overall, our stay was satisfactory .

It is a basic hotel. You have a room, beds and a bathroom. There is a coffee machine, but no cups. Management had to give us a different TV controller. The food at Totem, next door is good.

Do not recommend :(
My Experience was lack luster, the cleaning needs more tending to, there was dust, & cobwebs. Our bathroom had tissue in the bin from the previous tenants & it was not cleaned before we got the key. The air conditioning is old & it makes a lot of noise at night, making my family & I lose sleep. For the amount of money that i am paying for, i would expect at least a somewhat decent room & a decent experience. I will not be returning & unfortunately i do not recommend staying here, if you do then lower your expectations.

Only 2 small hand towels in the room, no bath towels at all. The bed was clean, but everything else full of dust. The A/C made a bad smell like burning. I loved the silent morning and night in there, but the room doesn’t worth 200 $ for a night, it is exaggerated! If the owner would take care of this small inn it would be a little corner of paradise with a Mountain View. It is 3 min drive from Sequoia!
