Hotel has great potential but cleanliness of my room was a great disappointment. Even after raising our concerns they were not fully addressed. Pizza place just down the road was surprisingly good. Although the heart of Sequioa NP is only 30 miles away, it takes at least one hour because of a very steep, narrow and winding road. Elevation gain is over 4,000 feet.

It's a beautiful spot for one night. Unfortunately Sequoia Nat'l Park had a few road closures and much of the park was off limits. We stayed and ate at the Gateway Inn which is close to the entrance.

Beautiful small town with tons of unique local joints to check out! Sadly we were only in the area for two days to visit the national parks, but I wish we had another day or two to check out the town itself. Everyone we met was super friendly and the food and drink options were refreshing after trekking around Sequoia and Kings Canyon all day.

Three rivers is a very charming town to drive through on the way to the majestic Sequoia park, but what thing to really keep in mind is what season you go. I have been through Three Rivers more than a 10 times as a traveler from Los Angeles so I know. The most breathtaking time to go is early spring, March to April because everything turns into emerald green and the waterflow is abundant, specially noteworthy is when you first see the snow capped mountains of the Sequoia park. Anytime after June all the way to October, everything looks kind of dry and it gets very hot and touristy. In Winter - Nov through March, you will most likely have to put chains on your tires and it's a bit more hazardous driving through the curved roads going up to the mountain. Also it gets very cold and many of the trails become alot tougher to walk on. Just keep in mind, that during winter, it's a calculated risk driving even with snow chains, one slip up and your car can easily fall off a cliff. Henceforth, I have mostly avoided going in winter time, buy hey don't let me stop you if feel like a daredevil. Go during March or April, you will have the most beautiful scenery through Three Rivers and specially the Park.

I gave my detailed review earlier. However, on top of what I have described, it is worth noting that the wifi was very poor indeed, dropping off every few seconds or not allowing us access. We had to go to the nearby Gateway Hotel to get wifi. Daily housekeeping was promised, which one might reasonably think would include clean towels and a vacuum of the room. This did not happen. I do not recommend Three Rivers.

It’s a one Street town. It looks a little rundown, but the food and all of the restaurants we ate at were delicious. We ate at the pizza place, the Mexican restaurant, the coffee shop, the Gateway Lodge is amazing for breakfast. We ate there all three days. And the river view some thing had great hamburgers and happy people!
