We expected the property to be closer the the park and were surprised that it was over an hours drive from our destination. The restaurant was great. The staff was pleasant but not helpful. We were ready to go at 6:30 but the restaurant/office did not open until 8:00 so we stayed longer than anticipated to check out. Room was clean, warm and comfortable. Beautiful stream side location.

The lodge doesn't offer a baby crib, though Expedia says it does. I checked a week before I stayed. I was in a hurry to get a portable crib, which I did. It was hot, but the air conditioning worked. The food in the restaurant was good. They offer infant food.

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.

THE CLERK AT THE PROPERTY TOOK MY CREDIT CARD AND RECHARGE MY PREPAID ROOM. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT IT WAS PAID VIA EXPEDIA ON MY DISCOVER CARD AND WOULD HEAR OF IT. HE CHARGED ME $256. SO I PAID TWICE AT THIS FACILITY. I TRIED TO TALK TO MANAGMENT AND THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE DURING MY STAY. I AM UPSET THAT I WAS CHARGED TWICE FOR MY ROOM AND NO ONE WOULD HELP FIX THIS ON SITE AS I WENT BACK TWICE DURING MY VISIT.

Great little spot right outside Sequoia. It was clean and quiet. Nice restaurant with a great menu. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was that the shower was so hot it was almost unusable - there was no cool or even warm option unless you used it early morning. That being said, there was a heat wave so that was probably out of their control.

The winsow sills and corners of the room were rather dusty, but the bedsheets, bathroom were all clean and neat. The staff were very nice at check-in (in the restaurant.) We did not eat there, so i can't comment on that, but there's a deck overlooking the river - beautiful. Parking was a slight challenge. It was full when we returned from the park around 7 so we visited a store down the road before returning and finding a spot. It's a small property, but that is why it's nice and quiet.

Generally OK
Staff were great and the room was OK. It needed a bit of attention here & there (plastic fork holding the AC vents open, blinds broken etc.), but generally OK. I booked a room with 2 double beds, but they were pretty small so it was more comfortable to sleep in separate beds. The major disappointment was breakfast - on Sunday, they only serve a Champagne Brunch at $30+ per person - with no discount for those not drinking. As I was going to be negotiating the twisty roads of the park after breakfast, I really didn't want to be drinking. So we checked out and had a great breakfast at the general store a mile down the road. Later the car park was full so I assume the Champagne Breakfast is popular - just not the right thing for overnight guests!

The Gateway was a fantastic place to stay for visiting Sequoia. The little cabin was perfect for 2 people and we had a balcony overlooking the river which was a lovely bonus. Plenty of space in the room and a lovely queen bed with a great mattess and pillows. The bathroom was a little cramped and the light above the mirrow did not work. The shower was small with a non-adjustable shower height and it was hard to get the water temperature balanced. The restaurant was lovely, recommend to eat on the deck over the river.

Pleasant surprise in the Sierra Nevada
This is a very nice small old-style lodge with a very friendly and accommodationg staff, small but clean and well-maintained rooms. It's almost at the entrance of Sequoia N.P.
