Lovely hotel. Very bouji. Nice big room and despite being on the first floor, was very quiet. Didn't get a chance to use most of the facilities but the coffee and snacks were generous, the parking easy ($19 a night), location great and the staff friendly. Very happy with our stay.

Beautiful renovation of an art deco building with so much history, and a stunning rooftop restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly staff, such as Dominick and the female server with purple hair, (whose name we didn't get). The pool needs a special positive shoutout-- it's not only heated, but super heated, with very warm water coming out of ports under the water. We were there in January, so that was extra nice. It's a small pool, but big enough to do short laps.

Very pleasant stay after a day at Sequoia NP. Front Desk staff was very helpful with dinner options. They also told us we could park in the hotel lot instead of the gated area, thus saving us a $19 charge. The high ceilings are a nice touch and the bathroom is terrific!

3 nights at this fabulous boutique hotel in Visalia! Adds maybe 35minutes to getting to the Sequoia NP entrance versus staying in Three Rivers, but it is SO worth it. Large, clean rooms. Great rooftop restaurant for breakfast and dinners. Awesome showers. Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent hotel for exploring Sequoia/Kings Canyon!!

I loved this hotel. It’s Art Deco feel is great. Great staff, excellent service and really enjoyed the restaurant. Road outside was noisy with cars driving past. Not very relaxing by the pool because of this. Did have a good nights sleep though so it did quieten down at night. We used as a base for Sequoia NP, which was a good location for this.
