While the woman at the front desk was very kind and welcoming, our overall experience at Sierra Lodge was disappointing. Upon check-in, we noticed there were no towels provided in the room. We had to request them, and even then, we were only given four towels, no hand towels or even paper towels were available. That evening, around midnight, we were woken up by loud stomping and laughter from the room above us, which went on for some time. This highlighted a serious lack of sound insulation between rooms. We tried calling the after-hours number three times to report the disturbance. Unfortunately, the first two calls were hung up on, and the third went straight to voicemail. No one ever got back to us. To top it off, the next morning both the shower and the toilet clogged, we only used the shower, so it clearly wasn't due to misuse. The only positive we can note is that the room was clean. Unfortunately, due to these issues, lack of basic amenities, poor noise control, and no response from staff, we would not recommend Sierra Lodge and do not plan to return. We hope management takes this feedback seriously to make the necessary improvements. read more

DO NOT COME HERE unless you want to be bitten by bed bugs. We stayed here and I got bitten by them which caused me to get hives and itchy bumps to deal with for a few days. It ruined my experience coming here, my family and I barely got any sleep due to the bugs. The owner didn't even ask us for pictures, he definitely knew. I scrolled and saw past reviews also talking about the bed bugs, they are clearly ignorant and have not resolved the issue. Owner was also ignorant saying he can make it up by calling AAA if we got stuck on the way back home.... nobody wants your insurance, we want a CLEAN and SAFE place to sleep. read more

Clean sheets. You get 2 flat pillows. Door was a flimsy screen door, didn't feel safe. Shower floor was peeling off. Dirty walls, doors, and windows. Breakfast was just toast and coffee. Lobby being remodeled. Good location- very close to Sequoia National Park, but I wish I had just spent a little more to stay somewhere cleaner. read more

My family and I came here for the Thanksgiving long weekend. I didn't have high expectations for this place. But I booked this based on the location and how it aligned with our itinerary. I like how spacious the rooms and living area was. I also liked the size of the kitchen and the quiet location. We're surrounded by trees and get fresh air. I even went for a morning run to scout the area. Except for the kitchen stove and oven, which were a little dirty. We got everything we needed. It was easy to request things that were missing: dishwashing soap, paper towels, etc. It's not fancy, but it has a lot of character. It's very convenient gateway to the sequoia national park. It's also close to the convenience store and places to get food. read more

This is a cheap run down mid century motel that is in the middle of a remodel. The rooms are clean they have AC, cable tv and WiFi which is important because 3 Rivers has really spotty LTE. If you are looking for a cheap simple place to sleep and shower outside Sequoia I would recommend stopping here. read more

When looking to drop by Sequoia National Park, there were only 2 rooms available on Hotels(.com) for a reasonable price and I chose Sierra Lodge; reviews weren't great, not horrid, but I was curious as to what the real experience would be. We got in late, but before closing, and it took a few minutes for service as he was on the phone. He was very pleasant and efficient once he was available. The room was clean, bigger than expected and would do for the 5-6 hours of sleep we'd allotted before charging out to our adventure. The room was HOT and remained hot-ish all night despite the AC being on (there's a sign that says to not drop it below 70 or you may be charged if it froze up). The shower definitely didn't have hot water, but it wasn't freezing. Makes for a quick shower though. They do have plenty of signs and warnings about what you'll be charged for if you do certain things, so be mindful (Smoking in room, AC below 70, flushing anything non-toilet paper are the three I saw) Oh yea, the parking. It's a narrow in/out driveway, but almost all the parking spots are slanted making maneuvering to get out difficult, unless you back all the way back to the front. Overall, I'd stay again for a quick sleep, but don't book your honeymoon. read more

Only if you are really desperate! The positive, sheets were clean and smelled of fabric softener. Don't expect too much, rooms being remolded and look as if DYI and not really knowing how. Breakfast, left me wondering... really! Two choices of cereal and all the bread you could want minus the water. Bottom line my tent and dehydrated food was looking great. read more

What I wrote was first blush. It went down hill from there. The shower was built for those under 5' 6, the toilet was aboue16" tall, and the anemic AC unit had the big bright LED display shining right into mirror doors on the closet. Effectively lighting our room like the Vegas Strip. With the apparent granite slab for a bed and (my best guess) a rolled up gunnysack for my pillow....the night was less than restful. Off the 6 of us that stayed, only my son got a decent night's sleep on the couch with the AC in his room give him a nice, cool night of sleep. We left the lodge more exhausted thane when we arrived at 10 in the evening. The real kicker was the manager trying to tell us the one AC unit ( which was low on refrigerant) wD set too low. And didn't want to hear that the room wS 80° when we checked in an was already set to the lowest temp when we entered the room. read more

Three stars perfectly sums up our experience at Sierra Lodge. A place like this makes Motel 6 look like the overachiever. A relatively low cost for a night's stay and close proximity to Sequoia National Park are pretty much the main reasons why anyone would stay here. Upon arriving, you'll quickly notice that the parking lot is small so extra caution is needed to maneuver in and out. Check-in was quick with the friendly and mellow manager of the lodge. While some of the other reviews cited dirty accommodations and unwelcomed guests such as roaches, we are happy to report we had none of those save for some ants. Sheets, pillows, and the beds all appeared to be fine. The room is a mix of old, antiquated design with some modern upgrades sprinkled in. This includes power outlets with USB ports and newer lighting fixtures. Most underwhelming of all was probably the bathroom. The faucet aerator was either broken or missing because water out of the faucet was uncontrolled and messy. The tub was a bit on the small side and fixtures within seemed loose. There is no restroom fan, but there was a tiny window that can be opened for ventilation. Unfortunately, for our room, the window was right next to the main road, meaning sneaky eyes can easily peek in. The free breakfast was a thoughtful touch, but you are better off bringing your own food. What was offered included sugary baked goods, cereal, milk, and instant oatmeal. The coffee was fine, but Starbucks looks gourmet in comparison. As mediocre as this stay was, it cannot overshadow the grandeur and stupefying beauty that I have witnessed while at Sequoia National Park. read more

Before I go into detail, I wanted to point out that if you are expecting the city life with Hilton hotels, you have exceeded your expectations because you will not be getting that at all staying in the town of Three Rivers. Three Rivers is a small town/village in the middle of the mountains. You will see bugs, insects , animals, and so on. So yes ,bugs like cockroaches will be visible on the premises and maybe in the bathroom. My room was not infested with bugs, but , on my last night (yesterday), there was one in the restroom. They are the big roaches that come out of drains , very typical. We should be scared of the little ones that hide in bags, blankets , clothes , etc. Sierra Lodge is not modern looking (yes, very antiquated: old-fashioned/out dated), but, it's comfortable enough to rest. However, the AC was complicated. For example, it would stay on the whole day, but would turn on and off at night. It was tripping, for sure. It seems like the AC's might be programmed like that because during the day, it would stay on, cooling the room with no problem. By 9 pm, that's when the struggle started :/ they should be controlling them during the day when people are out and about , not at night when it's hot and a cool room is necessary for sleep. Our room was clean. I read that the rooms smelled a lot like pine sol, but, it all depends on a persons tolerance of scents and fragrances . The smell eventually left the room, and knowing the floors were cleaned, was good enough for me. They have housekeeping in the morning. The housekeeper left clean towels everyday, and tidied up the room. Sierra Lodge is a good location for sure , not far at all from Sequoia National Park. The price was fair. Very economical compared to other lodges and resorts in town.... Would I stay here again ? That's a big I don't know! and it's all because of the AC. The problem with the AC was the biggest turn off cuz during the summer time it's necessary. If the AC wasn't problematic, I would considering staying here again. The guy at the front desk is not very involved with guests. He isn't the most friendliest person either. He disappears. It's hard to locate him. I have a feeling he does that so he doesn't have to deal with complaints lol. I did like that he is not micromanaging like how many motels/hotels staff can be. I give the pool a 4/5 cuz it only needed some cleaning due to some floating hair and bugs , but other than that, the water and floor of the pool was blue and clean. Overall, I recommend staying in the town of Three Rivers if your objective is to visit Sequoia, however , staying at the Sierra Lodge might not be the best for those who don't come from a humbling upbringing. If you expect something fancy , this place isn't meant for you. read more

DO NOT USE THIS HOTEL! DISGUSTING The comforter was BLOODSTAINED and we asked for a replacement. We were given one that was equally DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY; it has HAIRS on it. We showed the manager how dirty the replacement was but he declined to even look at it. We asked for another replacement but he REFUSED, saying he would give us a blanket. It is WINTER !!! Even budget hotels should BE EXPECTED to provide decent clean beddings. STAY AWAY from this hotel. And yeah, the manager was RUDE! read more

okay this hotel was absolutely horrible. for starters, the weather was above 90° and we couldnt turn the AC lower than 70°. when we got there there was flies everywhere and we saw roaches on the floor. Went to the pool to see it was empty. payed for two nights and only stayed for one because of how disgusting the place was. i dont recommend at ALL. we tried to talk it out with the front desk worker and he told us the AC issue was our fault because there was instructions under it and we didnt follow them. (we did) please do yourself better and find somewhere else!! read more

For a low-budget lodge such as this one is, I'm not expecting anything more than the basics--this is not a luxury resort hotel nor does it ever claim to be. I completely understand that & judge accordingly. So what are the basics to earn a solid 3-stars? Clean room: beds, sheets, floors, restroom--for us this was a solid check. The beds were nicely made, sheets and pillows clean. The bathroom was clean, ample clean towels, the floors were clean. They provided basic toiletries (those standard tiny shampoos, body washes, lotions). No complaints on that front. Our room also had a small refrigerator, a small microwave, & a small coffee maker. Location: in the "town" of Three Rivers and pretty much at the bottom of the Sequoia National Park not far from the vehicle entrance. Very convenient location. So this is also a check. They offer a simple continental breakfast (7am-9am) with coffee, packaged danishes/muffins, toast with assorted jams and/or butter, and cereal with milk. It's not gourmet, by any means, but it's a nice touch and appreciated just for a quick pick-me-up before we head out for the day. The parking lot is tight, but if you have a small to medium size car, it shouldn't be a problem. The larger cars can probably fit more comfortably on the outside parking spots, near the check-in office. They have a small pool, but we didn't use it. I saw some people there on certain nights and they seemed to be enjoying it. So why doesn't this place earn 3-stars? First off, they say they offer Wi-Fi, but it doesn't work. I'm not a computer expert (The Huz is), but from what I understand, the router is located in the main check-in office and it simply doesn't reach the rooms (or at least our room--like at all). We couldn't even check email, or just browse the internet, let alone stream shows (after a long day at the Sequoia's, it would've been lovely to relax and be able to do that.) When The Huz asked the front office attendant, he simply said, "Well, it works for me." Ok, I guess, he's happy. **Shrug** I mean, listen, we're able to live without WiFi--living with the land and off-grid and all that, but the features of the hotel claimed WiFi would be available so we expected it--planned for it. Be honest. Just flat out say, "We don't have WiFi". With that information, we could've chosen another lodge or we would've had a more informed choice if we decided to stay anyway. So, for those wondering: NO, this place does not have (decent, meaning working) WiFi. Please know that before you book your stay. The air conditioner was SO weak it couldn't keep the room cool. Mind you, it's pretty much in the 90's all the way to the 100's degrees at the time of our visit so it was difficult to cope. I may or may not have cried a little. (Wah) We're not dense people so from our noted experience with the Front Desk Clerk, we knew that complaining wouldn't have gotten us anywhere so after the second day, my innovative Huz used towels to cover all the windows before we left for the day (so less of the blazing sun would penetrate the room), opened the back window when we arrived at the end of the day to let a little breeze in (thank goodness there was a screen) and pretty much flapped out the hot air by waving a towel up and down towards the door. It helped, I'm sure, but how ridiculous that must've looked to an observer, and also, I mean, what? And also, like, why??? I feel like, if you're going to be offering lodgings to guests, at least get a decent air conditioner--one that actually cools a room to comfortable levels. That's not an unreasonable request. Also, there's an ice machine outside of the unit, but it didn't provide much ice (I think it was broken?) but also if it did work and provided ice, it's one of those "scoop the ice" situations and it makes me cringe to think communal hands touched the ice. Ick. They should get the ice dispenser type machines that make ice fall into a bucket that way you know no one has touched it. I mean, if they even had a machine that worked. I'm just fantasizing here. Overall, I appreciate the roof over our heads, a place to store our stuff, park our car and a place to sleep (albeit restless, tossing & turning from the heat--geez seriously, get decent air conditioners!). But would we stay here again if we ever found ourselves doing another Sequoia trip? No. We wouldn't. I'll try to find somewhere else. read more

This is by far the worst place I have ever been to in my life. I don't even know where to begin. We should have taken the red flag warning when we checked in and overheard another guest telling the person at the counter that their room was infested with ants. The person at the front desk didn't even give him a response. Anyways... We walk in the room, its small and looks like a prison cell. It smells of over used Pine Sol. So bad that my girlfriend got a headache and we had to air out the room. There were stains on the bed sheets. The beds were uncomfortable. The wifi was extremely weak and in that area there is no cell phone reception so you have no contact with anyone. When you call the front desk they rarely answer the phone. OKAY BUT THIS IS WHERE IS GETS GOOD... We go into the bathroom which is tiny and looks filthy and guess what we see??? Roaches! I had to step on them. And each time I would return to the bathroom, there were more roaches!!! Disgusting!!! But WAIT! it gets better!!! We wake up at 5am and I go to the bathroom....All the water is shut off! The entire floors water is not working! I go to the front desk and find several other guests complaining about the same thing. Absolutely a NIGHTMARE. WE CHECKED OUT IMMEDIATELY AND WILL NEVER RETURN. DO NOT GO HERE. I HAVE PROVIDED PICTURES. read more

I am so disappointed. It seems like the Lodge has really gone downhill since I stayed in 2019 and again 2023. I had a positive stay in 2019, that is why I came back. In 2023, there was no tub or shower faucet. I stayed again in May, 2024, hoping they had their room repairs completed. The parking situation is atrocious. I parked my car in the carport and they placed mattresses and a box spring along the wall next to my car. The box spring fell on my car during the night and dented the hood of my new car. I brought it to the attention of the owner and he would not move the items and just shrugged his shoulders. I now have to have my car repaired due to the negligence and lack of concern by the Lodge management. I hate leaving a bad review, but, I felt I had to, to satisfy the cost for my upcoming car repair. I do not recommend. read more

You know, it is what it is. Booked a queen single bed with fireplace (unit E, upstairs) for 2 nights to go into Sequoia NP. It was only a 15 minute drive from the park entrance, which was great. I planned my trip just one week in advance, so it was one of the few accommodations with vacancies left. My room was pretty comfortable in terms of the size and bed. Just know it's not going to be spotless, and not everything will look pristine. The wifi can be inconsistent, depending on when you use it. (Later at night, it was much faster than earlier in the evening, when I think more people are on the network.) Room has a microwave, coffee maker, small TV. Shower water was lukewarm no matter what, haha. But it was fine. Nothing fancy, just a place to stay. Around $270/2 nights, after taxes. read more

Horrible! The. vendor put false pictures on line describing the property. The place was under construction including the pool. The pool was cracked and had no water in it. The rooms were not made when we walked in at 4pm. Unbelievable! We left and I put the charges made to my credit card in dispute and was able to get the funds back through my credit card provider. The vendor did not return the money on his own, although we were there for less than an hour. Avoid prepaying for this place and avoid staying there. read more

I would give this zero stars ! Horrible customer service - we arrived at the hotel at 4pm and our room was dirty - beds weren't made , garbage was not taken out , food dirty. Stairs rusted and broken - old cigar smell - very stuffy rooms. I went to talk to the owner at the front desk and was completely disrespected me because I was a woman. Honestly ! he yelled at me and said not it was not his job to clean room and his job was to handle the front desk only and the maids fault they didn't clean. He said I don't have time to check on their work. I was disgusted and immediately asked for my money back. Do not come Here !! read more

If there was a zero rating, or a negative star rating, that's what this place would get. Sierra Lodge is lucky that Yelp makes you give at least 1 star. My family and I checked it at 4:30pm only staying for 1 night because we had to leave in the morning for our next destination. We have a 2 year old so it's pretty hectic to get our stuff in and head out to see the sequoias before the sun goes down so we didn't fully inspect the room. But for $140 a night, one has a general and reasonable expectation that the room would be clean. When we got back from the sequoias, the office was closed, and that's when we discovered blood smeared on the bathroom wall and that same blood on our bed sheets. Thankfully we brought our own towels and slept on those. When we told the "manager" he refused to do anything about it because we didn't tell him when we got there. Even with the explanation we provided, which was reasonable. There was also a poop skid mark in the toilet. My sister in law and her 2 kids stayed in a different room and they didn't have hot water. He refused to do anything about that. Also, there is no WiFi there and no cell service either. The complimentary breakfast is un-drinkable coffee, muffins in a wrapper, and cereal from a dispenser. For $140 a night. There was also a poop skid mark in the toilet. read more

This hotel was conveniently located about 15 min away from the national park entrance. There is a couple of stores, gas station, and restaurants available close by. Luckily there was a pretty big sign on the entrance which helped us locate the hotel. The front desk was pretty nice. They will require your license plate # so make sure you have noted down when you go in to check it, they verify the amount of plp, and the wifi password in in the counter. We had a "suite", which was located facing the opposite side of of the rest of the hotel, facing some hills and kind of empty road. The pool was just around the corner though, which was nice. They still give you actual keys which was weird since I am so used to the card keys. They privided complementary water bottles the first night. This suite included of 3 full size beds, 1 twin bed and a full kitchen fully stocked with pans, napkins, pots, utencils etc., and also since it is located facing the opposite side of the rest of the hotel you have a private porch, where they have a picnic table and grill so you can bbq. The hotel is not luxurious but has erything you need including a/c so you van survive while you are out there. They also provided free wifi but it had a very bad connection. The first night the connection would go and come and the 2nd night we were completely without internet. We inforned the front desk but they insisted they were fine so nothing was done to fix the issue . Regardless if we tried to connect in our room or in the office we did not get connected so that really sucked. Considering the hotel was our only hope for any connection. read more

Every site reviewing this sh==hole has some many 1 reviews I can not believe they are still in business!!! Because desperate travelers will stay, like me. Read the reviews on all hotel booking sites and you will see the exact same complaints that I am listing now as have most others : I stayed on Sat Nov 28 the holiday weekend,. I entered a completely dirty room. Since all hotels were sold out due to the holiday the manager was able to place me into a room that was at least cleaner, but way below standards for any hotel for travelers. The walls were dirty, the bathroom door had a fist sized hole punched into it. The towels where stained and very old, the hot water handle was stripped and fell off, so I had to take a cold shower. This place should not be allowed to operate. I am a hiker used to dirt, easy and flexible, but the management shows blatant ineptitude in basic hospitality. The only reason why I even stayed, was the location. I needed to get to the park early the next morning. and it is not far at all. read more

We came as a family and rented three rooms. One room wasn't cleaned, I do understand mistakes happen, got another room that had a cockroach in it. Upon checking bed for bed bugs we found blood stains covered by a pillow case. Lights varied in intensity without touching anything. Lights by bed didn't work. Another room had electrical outlets hanging out of the wall. Another room the toilet didn't flush. Low water pressure. Beware, they are padding the reviews, we loaded a 1 star review and it was immediately followed by a 5 star not even 5 minutes later. When asking for our money back we were just told a flat out no and he wouldn't listen to us and told us to leave. Avoid this place for your wallet and sanity. read more

This place was okay. They were able to get us in very last minute which was very nice. Upon first glance our room was fine, our ac worked, our shower had hot water, etc. When we left for dinner we came back and noticed a bear rummaging through the garbage can which made us feel unsafe outside. Waking up the next morning a frog jumped out of our shower which was really gross. But it could've been worse. read more

Did a weekend ride, and ended up at Sierra Lodge for a couple of nights. This place is set up like a '50's motel....very old style (and yes, old, too). Lots of features in the rooms....wifi, coffee pot, fridge, tv. To be fair, the wifi didn't work, and the tv is also from the '50's...but it did work. The rooms are, in a word, SMALL. In fact, SMALL is too big of a word to describe my room. A queen bed with about a foot to maneuver around it. The "closet" was this funky left over space with the coffee pot and fridge, with a curtain in front of it (why, I don't know). The WEIRDEST thing was the bathroom. It was like it was designed for wheelchair access. The sink was just above my knees (I kid you not). The shower was just strange. About a 10" high tub, with the faucet at 11". The shower head was below my chest. So I'd go with the handicapped access model, except for one thing....2nd floor, metal stairs (gotta be fun in the winter) and no elevator. So I'm lost on this one. Nice pool area, and a GREAT conversation pit in the front, so that you can stay up late with friends and not worry (too much) about disturbing others. Overall, I'd probably stay again if I wasn't with the wife. No way I'd subject her (and, to be honest, myself from her) to the SMALL room.... read more

I will start off this review with the very few positives. The heater in the room worked, it was a good location close to the Sequoia entrance, and it was overall a quiet stay. The absolute worst part of this hotel is it is absolutely filthy. Our sheets were stained with what looked like blood, but, hey - if they bleached it I was going to try to be OK with it. But it got so much worse from there. There was debris in the shower and the drain was almost completely plugged up with hair that was not ours. Toothpaste was caked onto the Top of the faucet stainless steel. There was a half eaten brownie under one of the pillows... Not ours and completely unacceptable. A half eaten Dorito chip in the drawer of the night stand. There was chocolate caked on to the nightstand countertop. The sheets overall looked clean, but there was some hair and a few bits of debris that were stuck to the sheets. There was no soap and no toilet paper. Granted, we went to the lobby and asked for the soap and toilet paper and they gave it to us claiming it was just a mistake. The floors were very dirty with hair and dust, and crumpled up paper under the bed. Yes, the location is good but there are several other places just as close if not closer. I will be choosing another place when we come back to the Sequoia's next time. This is not a hotel I would recommend or ever stay at again. read more
