Sequoia Inn was very cheap. Only $95 per night. That's $20 less than every other hotel in the area. The room is on the smaller side, but it was very clean. I did note a crack in the mirror, and phone was out of order, which staff tried to fix. But who uses a landline anyways? Shower stayed hot for a while, so no problem there, and shampoo had a nice minty smell to it. Walls are thin here, so you might here other guest talking, or doing naughty things of sorts. There is also a rail train than blast its horn every half hour as it past near the hotel. The negatives would of drop it to 3 stars, but staff was super friendly, room was clean, they provide free wi-fi, and price was better than other hotels here.

This was one of the better places I have stayed in, compared to the others I tried recently. I got hot water, the television, and lights were all functional. I was unable to set the clock on the microwave and the toilet took forever to flush. It is okay leaving here early in the morning or arriving late to avoid traffic.
