Very convenient property if you are on your way to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National park. Rooms are small but cozy. Mattress could be better as it is a little more spongy. The TV in the room was a smart one and since we had a small kid, it was useful after the long day.

Great place to stay close to Kings Canyon NP
Lisa was extremely helpful in getting us settled into our cabin. She even helped us with our bags when we arrived and when we left. It is a rustic cabin with a separate bathroom and shower, as stated in the description. The bathroom was very close to our cabin, just a few steps away.

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

Malo,Mediocre, Caro
Estuve en el Room #7, El baño es una miniatura, apenas puedes girar ahi adentro, la cama tiene un colchon horrendo, te giras y se hunde, No hay desayuno, ni siquiera tenia microondas & refrigerador, tuve que pagar $10 adicionales para acceder a una cocina donde habia un microondas, refrigerador, etc etc. Sumado a todo eso el precio es CARO para lo que ofrecen.
Esta informacion deberian tenerla publica en el website...
Aqui estan las 9 habitaciones originales de este lugar... Ahora ademas a un costado han agregado unas "casitas", una cocina (te cobran $10 adicionales, no se si por dia o por estadia) y un laundry.

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.

Rustic Motel close to King’s Canyon
Gena’s Sierra Inn was in a perfect location to get to King’s Canyon National Park. The bed was comfy and the room cozy. I was solo so it was the perfect size for me. The Restaurant has a big and varied menu and was perfect after a day of hiking. It is open from 5-9 PM and the food was yummy with very generous portions. The air conditioner was a little loud but the second night I was able to open my windows which was lovely. The owner is very supportive of quiet times so it was very peaceful and serene. A gas station with some groceries is just down the street with an excellent cafe across the street from it for morning coffee and breakfast/lunch. The people working at Gena’s were very upbeat, friendly and helpful.

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.
