We were very happy with our stay at Gena's. The rooms are small, yes, but they are just what you need when you are out and about all day exploring Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. We did pay extra to use the kitchen space as we like to prepare all our own meals so this worked very well for us. We brought our dog and ran into a problem with the doggie day care that we were going to use and the housekeeping staff took turns walking her during the day while we visited the park. Super friendly staff and very accommodating

The location is very good if you want to visit King's Canyon or Sequoia National Park. It is easy to find the location, easy access from freeway. easy for parking. We checked in by ourselves with the room code, the room is very clean. Only drawback is the noise from the road, as the Inn is just off the road 180, so it's a bit noisy especially for people need quiet place to get into sleep.

The furnished queen bed and bunk beds pretty much filled this small room, so no table, shelves, fridge, or microwave. It is a convenient location to Sequoia/Kings Canyon Parks, and the price is good.

I'd totally stay here again. Very clean, reasonably priced, close enough to a gas station and close enough to Fresno for anyone flying in there. Staff was helpful and very friendly. The restaurant isnt open in the morning/mid-day but the staff is quick to answer phone calls. I also overheard someone going above and beyond for a couple that was asking about food options while their restaurant was closed. Our group rented the Hunter's Lodge and a private room, in the future I'll book way in advanced to be able to secure the more private cabin.

This was a nice place to stay next to Sequoia National Park. At the northern entrance. The noise from the Highway was a bit loud. Earplugs helped especially if you are a light sleeper. It was hot outside and the cooler was decent. Kept me cool all night. Nice back area for walking your dog, if you bring a pet.

For the most part, it was a great stay in a tiny cabin with a shared bathroom/shower and kitchen. However, a man who was cleaning staff entered our locked cabin using the passcode TWICE in the morning without knocking. This is unacceptable. Once was at 8:30am way before our check out time, and then he came in again later in the morning even though he knew we were still there. It did not feel safe. They should respect check out times and our privacy! At the very least if you want to clean the room earlier, knock on the door, say housekeeping, and wait for a response like a normal hotel would.

DO NOT STAY HERE
We had to pack up and leave after just a few hours because when the lights were off, the COCKROACHES came out. My kids and I were watching a movie before bed and suddenly I spotted bugs running across the floor. Never packed up so fast in my life. The kids were screaming. We told the manager and she literally said "I'll let the owner know" and ran inside the office, turned off the lights and seaked out the back door. Not surprised in hindsight with the gap between the bottom of the door and the frame/door jam. I called the owner the next morning and thankfully was given a refund, but we ended up having to drive from the middle of nowhere to Fresno with 3 kids at 10:30 at night.

It was HORRIBLE. Our first room has been swarmed by ants during the night. So we asked for a new room which was accepted BUT this one didn't have a working door lock. So we asked for a new room which was better. Until the morning when we were again invaded by ants. We also did a laundry, which cost 10 dollars, and didn't clean anything. The restaurant is expensive and not incredible. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. There hasn't even been a commercial gesture after all we've been through. Only one positive things: the woman on the morning really tried her best to help us, she was nice. RUN AWAY !!

We had a great experience staying here, and our 2 dogs also loved it. I considered it as "glamping" as you share showers & toilets with others staying there too. It was very clean, no odors, beds were comfortable, have AC units, the gift shop was so affordable compared to the shops in Hume Lake.We bought t-shirts, jewelry, pocket knife, and shot glasses. This place is very dog friendly and we will definitely stay there again. For those saying its so loud because of the road, honestly after 9pm you dont hear anything. Yes you can hear cars pass by here and there but its very settle and they provide ear plugs. Im a light sleeper and was able to sleep very well. My husband, my 2 college daughters, and myself loved it. We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant so we can not rate it. Just be thankful its there in case you are hungry, restaurant options are low out there, remember you are in the mountains not in the city! Enjoy
