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.

My husband and I loved staying here during our first visit to Sequoia National Park. The manager was very helpful with providing a map of the town and a list of restaurants sorted by distance to the motel. This is a really nice, family friendly motel with farm animals, a pool, a playground, and a library of movies to rent. I only marked down one star because the TV in our room seemed to buffer a lot, but that could just be due to the mountain location. Really not a big deal though. The location is very conveniently close to the park and many local restaurants and shops. We definitely plan to return here when we have our own family of little ones to entertain!

Overall the property was really cute. The staff was helpful. The only issue was that we came across 3 spiders in the room. 2 were in the linens on the bed. 1 in the bathroom.

Room and location was just as advertised, “cozy”! It was clean and in good condition for age and location. Only complaint was the air conditioning was a bit stuffy even when running overnight.

Lazy J stay

I was pleased to have such a quiet and comfortable room to stay and enjoy my down time. Although it is an older establishment, the property is well kept and comfortable. The pool was clean and play area was perfect for families. The office staff is friendly and welcoming. The location is next to the lake but not really a place that I ventured. Funny to hear animal noises but cute as well. (There are a few sheep/goats in a penned area belonging to the owners). Overall the Lazy J was lovely.

We only stayed 1 night on our way to the national park and this was perfect for our family of 5. The room was clean and the area felt safe. There was a little play set for the kids to play on, and just behind the rooms were some sheep and goats and an area to watch the river. Couldn't really access the river because it seemed like the area might have been a little flooded? But it was still such a great view. They had DVD's in the office to borrow to watch in room. The cable wasn't working in our room, and we checked in late so we weren't able to address with the office but it wasn't a big deal for us. Quick couple minutes drive to the market and to the coffee shop.

We arrived late, after hours. The manager was very understanding, and accommodating. Room is big, clean with big refrigerator, microwave and kitchen ware. Daily house keeping is nice and replenish supplies. Farm has few goats & sheep in pen. Lake nearby for fishing (need license). Lots of colorful humming birds. Overall above expectation. Had a fantastic vacation. Highly recommended.

Such a cute property. The rooms are in small cottages. You can park your car outside your room. There are chairs to sit outside the door. There are lots of trees by the room area, green grass, animals sounds and friendly cats. It was so relaxing to stay there. We will be back. The rooms are no frills but the environment made up for it.

It is what it is!

It is a nice location and like other reviews said it would be. Older but clean and neat. Pool was nice and it had outside seating areas. We were given all the information needed on restaurants when arriving and the arrival was easy. TV is old school but OK for our one night stay.
