Squaw Valley Motel Room 4

The property is dated and in need of a little upkeep. Although we arrived in the late afternoon, during standard check-in hours, the office was locked and it was challenging to figure out how to check in. Unfortunately the pool was out of order, and given the hot August weather, it would have been nice to use the pool. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and it was a good value considering the proximity to King's Canyon National Park.

Loved being so close to Sequoia Park, and truthfully we mostly used it just to rest before and after the park. I did find myself wondering why the quilts were ugly-side-out. The area around where the rooms are was a little worse for wear. But the room was clean enough, and I really, truly loved the sheets that were on the bed.

The room was small, but well kept. The shower had an odd nozzle that was more like a pressure washer. The soap provided was a small, broken bar. I'd recommend bringing your own and shampoo/conditioner. Check in was easy, however no sign they were open, a faded white board had a phone number on it/ ring door bell was how you'd be able to get in to check in. Office reeked of cigarette smoke. The gentleman who checked us in was polite and was quick. Heard there was a pool but didn't go by since during the day we were gone.

I usually don't leave reviews but I want to warn others of this property. The place looked sketchy when we pulled up. Kids couldn't wait to swim all day since it was over 100 degrees that day. Pool was empty with a sign stating it was closed for maintenance. We stayed in the room with a kitchenette. There are no security locks on the two doors. No dead blolt or chain. One door had to be slammed shut to latch. One time I did that a piece of the exterior wall fell off. I woke to hundreds of ants crawling all over our food on the kitchen counter. That meant no breakfast. I had to throw out about $50 worth of food. The coffee pot also did not work.

The room itself was nice and clean. It has been refurbished. We had all we needed for q good nights sleep! It was a bit difficult to reach the office as they are a small operation! They require calling in 24 hours prior to arrival. When we did arrive in the time frame provided, we couldn't reach anyone. We saw a set of keys on the desk, so assumed they we ours and used them to enter a room. The office and public areas for getting ice or using a microwave were very dirty, and unkept. Unpleasant to look at but didn't affect our stay. Price was reasonable.

Spent one night here on a larger trip. The exterior doesnt present well but the room was clean. It was very small. Quiet,comfortable bed. Fine if you manage your expectations. It is a roadside motel afterall. Probably should be rated a 1 or 2 star.

Amazing stuff, clean rooms and pool was blast.

Considering it said under expedia it was a 3 1/2 star, it did not meet that requirement at all. The property grounds not kept up, pool not able to use, shower curtain with holes in it so watwr leaking out.

Property was old and run down, but the room itself was clean and air conditioned. Pool was empty, no water and not sure if it’s being worked on or what. Breakfast was limited.

Don’t let looks deceive you! The room was very small but had what we needed for a comfortable nights stay. The bathroom had been updated which was nice. The air conditioner in the window needs cleaned up but it worked and we slept well. Check in and out was easy and they had the nicest dog that followed us around the property. We even had their newly redone swimming pool to ourselves!

I can’t believe this motel is in business. The property is disgusting, the walls in the room are dirty, and the man checking us in was either drunk or high. We walked away from the motel and drove to a Hampton Inn. The manager refused to refund me my money. The write-up online made the motel sound like a family run well taken care of motel. Instead it was the most disgusting place I have ever walked in to. I have traveled across the country for over 60 years and never felt so concerned for my safety.

We had a terrible time checking in. The guy at the desk (who was barely coherent) couldn’t find our reservation. Then he tried to overcharge us. He gave us a key to a room THAT WAS ALREADY OCCUPIED. My husband scared the daylights out of the poor woman who was on the other side of the door when he unlocked it. Front desk guy finally gave us a room. The room: it was adequate for a motel- small & clean. Warning: when making the resi, know there is a risk that front desk guy may or may not be able to find it- depending upon his capabilities. DO NOT PREPAY just in case. We were the 3rd party this happened to but it all ended fine (at least for us). Have low expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

35-40 minutes down a single road to the Big Stump entrance at King’s Canyon National Park, which made it the perfect launching pad for adventures around the Sequoias. Room was tiny but quiet, clean, and with what appeared to be a brand new, tiled, stand up shower. Perfect for one or two guests.

Small but everything was extremely comfortable and clean. Very nice place to stay close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon.

The air conditioning didn't work. The temperature was 99 degrees in the room when we arrived, and after running the air conditioner for seven hours the temperature in the room at midnight was still 90 degrees. There were wild frogs jumping around inside the room.

The place is quiet. I love that the place is only 30 mins away from Kings Canyon. There is also a Dollar General store across so you can always drive back and forth for some necessities. Pet friendly, with very minimal fee. Bed was comfy, room was well kept with quaint designs, makes you feel at home. It will be nice to have more coffee selections, the coffee had in our room was blah. Overall it was an awesome stay!

Not a fancy resort… close to the national park and easy to find. Found a pretty big spider in the room but hey it’s the woods. No other issues and the room was very clean. I’ve stayed in far worse places for more than this room cost. Overall id say it’s a good place for a night if you’re in the area.

It was fine, and there are not many options in the area. The rooms were very small but clean. The grounds could be nice if cleaned up. Our room was in front, close to the road, and very noisy by 6 am. There were also a group of people talking very loudly outside our room at 5:30 am.

The high on the day we check in was about 100 degrees, and no air conditioning had been turned on in our room. When we arrived, we just had to turn on the small air conditioner and leave for awhile to let it cool the room off. It was stifling. However, when we returned in about an hour, the room was cooler and it was clean, although very small. It is fairly close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia. The outside of the motel could use some refurbishing, but it was clean and gave us a place to rest.

The room was very cosy and well decorated. It was equiped with coffee machine, fridge and microwave, exactly what you need after a day in Sequoia NP.

The is a very quaint little travel motel that is perfect for an affordable alternative to in park lodges. The rooms are small and maybe a bit over decorated. The only complaint I have is the AC unit is high on the wall in a corner over the bed. You literally have to stand on the bed to adjust it. Who thought that was a good idea?! That said I would definately stay again just for the value.

It's a nice quiet hotel. The bathroom had some issues in our room. Faucet was not running properly and toilet flapper wouldn't seat itself so had to take the tank lid off and flap it down every time we used the toilet. I did enjoy the area. Lots of birds and peaceful. Internet was great and beds were comfortable.

The hotel keeper was very rude to me at check in.

There was nothing uniuq about this place. There were nobody, the place were closed and a sign invited to call two different telephone numbers, with automatic answer.

They were very accommodating with my late arrive. Thank you!

Looks can be deceiving It was a Wonderful place clean and quiet nice to sit outside in a lovely country setting Gentleman who checked us in was helpful and gave us a great suggestion for dinner

Very irresponsible and unprofessional. We waited for more than an hour outside the motel office to check in but never got response even after dozens of calls, ringing doorbell and knocking office door. We could see TV playing inside, but no one responded to us. We eventually had to book another hotel miles away in the middle of the night, and they never even called us back.

Do not make a reservation here! I arrived at 6:00. The management office is a separate building. It was closed. I knocked and rang the doorbell, but no answer. I called the phone number and it rang inside. A guest at the hotel who walked by there said he had the same experience, but that someone had come out eventually. I heard occasional noises inside the building. Around the side a door was open. At the doorway was a traffic cone with a "no trespassing" sign on it. 3 feet inside this open door was another door which said "employees only". I yelled inside "anyone there" several times". After 30 minutes I started using my phone to find a different hotel. As a last measure, I took one step past the "no trespassing" sign to knock loudly on the "employees only" door. After a few minutes, a young man, who seemed stoned, came out of this door and yelled at me for trespassing. I left and found a different hotel.

I booked a room and confirmed my booking via Expedia and when I arrived they had no vacancies and we had to drive back 40 miles to find alternative accommodation.

We arrived at the motel at 8:30 (check in ends at 9). I rang the bell several times, but nobody came. My wife noticed snoring coming from the back room. I hollered loudly to try to wake them up, to no avail. We couldn't call because there was no cell service. We went outside to their Ring doorbell thinking that that might work. Nope. by this time, it was 8:45 or so (I had also noticed that there were no keys hanging up, so I assumed they had already rented out our room to someone else. We left and went to the nearby gas station, where I was informed that the man who ran it at night was a drunk and was unreliable. The person told us of a place up the road who had a motel, so we flew down the road hoping for a last second room. We got to Gena's Sierra Inn at 8:58, and as we were paying for our room, she turned her Open sign off. They saved us from having to sleep in our car. The next day, we had to leave out early so we didn't have time to go back to try to get a refund. VERY disappointed, to say the least. They basically stole my money. I can't review it, because we couldn't stay there. Very shady.

The room was very comfortable and great shower, but the lobby was closed when we arrived even if we arrive during the check-in in time, so we have to wait 15 minutes for the person in charge of the lobby to be back from his house even if we have confirm our arrival time. It was disappointing to have to wait after a long trip to be able to enter the room after having confirmed our arrival time.

Great place to stay near the park

Loved being so close to Sequoia Park, and truthfully we mostly used it just to rest before and after the park. I did find myself wondering why the quilts were ugly-side-out. The area around where the rooms are was a little worse for wear. But the room was clean enough, and I really, truly loved the sheets that were on the bed.

It was close to Kings Canyon.

If you’re looking for a tiny (5 room) road side place to sleep this motel serves that purpose. It’s about a 40 minute to the entrance of Sequoia and there are no services near by. Host was very pleasant.

Only place in town.

The room was very cosy and well decorated. It was equiped with coffee machine, fridge and microwave, exactly what you need after a day in Sequoia NP.

Simple and sweet; comfortable. Tea, relaxing. Coffee to wake up with.
