It was fine. Close to sequoia park. Pool looked nice but didn’t use it. A playground for kids didn’t use it.

Highly Recommended Quaint Motel

Probably one of the best managed hotels I’ve stayed in. Easy check-in, friendly staff, ample amenities, very helpful on recommendations for local attractions, and facility was very comfortable, clean and host very welcoming. Owners were obviously personally involved in operating motel and it showed.

We arrived after 9 pm and our key with lots of information was left in an envelope tucked in the office door. Reminded me of yesteryear. Just a warm feeling. Also all the information was so helpful and much appreciated. I loved the country feel. Gateway restaurant was amazing!

Wonderful quaint property, staff were extremely friendly and kind. Beautiful views on property. Rooms were very clean, would definitely recommend.
Darren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just stayed for one evening before visiting Sequoia National Park. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Check in was easy. Staff was great. Had dinner at the River View Bar & Grill. Hamburger was excellent! Had breakfast the following morning on the way to the park at the Gateway Restaurant (along the river) and it was excellent as well. If staying in Three Rivers, the Lazy J would be the place to stay!
Jerry, 1-night trip

This older motel is well maintained, spotless, and easy to check in and out. The property is gorgeous, and the location is great if you're visiting Sequoia. A hassle-free and comfortable stay!

Lazy J motel had great rooms and amenities. Check in was seamless, more like a little cottage room. Housekeeping did a wonderful job keeping us stocked on items. Animals in the back with a beautiful view. I would recommend this Motel for anyone visiting the national park. They were very welcoming and friendly.
