Disgusting and not up to code

This place is an absolute disaster. Doesn't even deserve the one star we're required to give. It was filthy rundown and outright illegal with the wiring and plumbing. There was mold and spiders in the bathroom. Electrical cords running through walls and plumbing. Running outside the walls as well. Bed was hard, uncomfortable. Worst place I've ever stayed. This is a filthy rundown dump and should be closed down. Do not I repeat do not stay here.

We love Gena’s!

Great home base for seeing Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park! Perfect location, friendly staff, we stayed two nights in the super cute motel and ate at the restaurant - the food and local beers were delicious! I stayed here a few years ago and loved it so much I was sure to book a stay at Gena’s again for this trip. We will be back!

Mice Infestation

The place was infested with mice, the bed sheets were stained. When I spoke with the owner demanding a refund they refused to take accountability.
