Great stay.

We were greeted warmly at check in by the young woman behind the desk and the resident cat. The Lazy J is a quirky multi-unit place perfectly located to the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Our room was comfortable and very quiet. Just what we needed after a long day of travel. I would definitely stay again!
