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.

Staff was great, recommended us some tricks on visiting Sequoia and overall very helpful. Room was lovely and spacious, restaurant (on the roof!) was excellent, pool was nice, and we got complimentary snacks and drinks when we arrived. Really lovely hotel!

We were never told there was a charge for parking. Big surprise when we checked out. Its redicules that they charge $19 for parking. Its not like this is LA and they just don't have the space.

Stayed 1 night. Great location in downtown Visalia before early AM drive to Sequoia NP. Glad we chose Visalia over Fresno as our starting point. Hotel has great "character" and is in excellent condition. Many restaurants & shops within walking distance. Hotel has a rooftop restaurant with nice views, but we didn't eat there.

Interesting property with a lot of charm and history. Very different from a sterile chain hotel. Room was clean and comfortable with some nice amenities in terms of snacks and beverages. Dinner at the restaurant was very good. I would recommend this place to others and would definitely stay here again.

A lovely boutique hotel that is located close to many downtown amenities - it feels like a little piece of a metropolitan getaway. The room was beautifully appointed and very comfortable.
