The babbling brook next to the restaurant was beautiful, and it is the closest hotel to the Sequoia National Park entrance. The hotel rooms are quaint and homely. Parking can be a bit of a difficulty during night hours as it is a popular place for the bar.
I would heavily recommend enjoying the waffles from Sequoia Coffee Co. and the pizza from Pizza Factory. Both are about 15 minutes out, but also delicious.

this is the closest hotel to the three rivers entrance to Sequoia. Just 2 minutes away. The restaurant setting is lovely. The staff is wonderful. The rooms are a bit rustic and parking is limited but all in all a very good stay.
