The room was very cozy. Glen offered to fix the problem in the room promptly. All the staffs were very friendly including in the restaurant. Jessie was very helpful in giving food options. The food was awesome and especially the venue just right by the Kaweah River. The place is also very close to the entrance of the national park. We'll definitely go back here!

We picked the facility for the location relative to the National parks. The staff was delightful and very personable, our meals were delicious and the second room was great. Unfortunately, the first room had a wet floor in one corner and our bag and backpack smelled like mildew for the remainder of our trip. They did move us but immediately cleaned the room so I am not confident the issue was resolved for a future guest. In spite of that I would stay there again.

Not a friendly place and we did not get our money back since we ended up only staying one night instead of two since the room was too cold and stinky. The heater was too stinky.

Everything across the board was decent. Good location. Would recommend to people hoping to be close to Sequoia. Not the best but does the job for short term travelers.

The Gateway is one of our new favorite spots to stay! The hotel is a well-maintained but older. All the amenities are great and well-maintained as well. Our room was super comfy, and a nice bed. The restaurant was fantastic, amazing food that was well worth the price. Amazing view at night, with great ambiance. The staff was super friendly, and did a great job!

Extremely overpriced 1950s-style motel outside the national park. I expected something special for the price, but I was wrong. We didn't feel comfortable leaving our room because the deadbolt couldn't be locked from the outside, leaving only an easily bypassed handset lock. The food wasn't bad, but really, $29 for a hamburger? It's close to a park entrance, but I'd drive the extra miles to avoid this place.

They advertise the river but there is no way to see the river unless you walk to bridge. All private. I would not have chose this expensive place had I known that. Very disappointing. Exposed floor tacks to bathroom. Ok otherwise
