We really had a very relaxing time at the Russian River inn. Susan was very accommodating. The service and amenities was above par. Highly recommend. Room 7 has a jetted hot tub, very relaxing.

We really liked how the property was dog friendly and easy access to the river. In addition, easy access to the beach for renting kayaks, canoe's or innertubes to lounge by the river and very good restaurants nearby.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was amazing. We went to celebrate our baby moon/anniversary and the owner upgraded us to a room with a River front view. The hospitality was so great, the view was amazing, the inn was so peaceful with so many gorgeous spots to sit and view the river. If you’re looking for a cozy peaceful spot to stay with plenty of woodsy views nearby, Inn on the Russian River is a great choice!

Loved it!

This is a cute, retro motel. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We will definitely stay there again! Would have appreciated the breakfast but apparently it was not being offered when we were there.

Short stay in January

We travelled in January as we were over seeing family so we were the only people there. Owner was really nice as the weather was particularly bad and travel was difficult. I can imagine how lovely the place would be in season and i would definitely come back.

Great space to relax and “get away”. Although no cell reception the room and backyard setting more than made up for no cell. Enjoyed it!

Reeeeelaxing Getaway!

We had a wonderful time lazing about at The Inn. It is casual comfort, with excellent hospitality. The new owners have been busy trying to upgrade the property, and they have many wonderful plans in the works. Our room was a tad uncomfortable, but this will be easily addressed in the future. We plan to return!

Communication from the property was superb. I even received a personal phone call explaining the check in process. Beautiful view and plenty of outside seating.

What a lovely place! We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in a comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the river. Sorry photo was too large to include in this review. Thank you!

Would have given all 5 stars but they are working on improvements still. New owner is a doll. Town is super charming and "liminal" according to my daughter
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's a set of cabins and when you open the door, you are "in the woods". Good place to stay if you love hiking, biking, or outdoor activities. Located on the bank of the Russian River, I think that in summer, there will be some boating available. We unfortunately had to leave because of the New year California rainstorm but, for sure we will be back this summer.

6/10 Good

The property and staff were fantastic but unfortunately due to the noise of our neighbors who were drunk we decided to leave at midnight. I would recommend the hotel and staff but if there maybe a way to reduce the room noise I think it would benefit all parties, customers and hotel.

Very friendly proprietor and staff. Lovely garden area with picnic tables, grills, fire pits and more overlooking the river. Such a beautiful view. Cozy rooms with good amenities, and only a short drive away to restaurants, shops and attractions. Would certainly stay again.

8/10 Very good

It is a charming hotel with an amazing view .. it is just that rooms are different and when you are reserving it , you are reserving that room (we didn’t know this but then when I looked at my reservation I saw I actually booked a specific room) For our room, we had a kitchen with sink and oven-toaster and mid size fridge but that made our bathroom very very small .. this was room 2

Clean and Cozy

I have been coming to this part of the Russian River for well over a decade. I had stayed here at this very property many years ago while under its previous ownership. It will now be on my list of go to spots to stay. The upgrades that the current owner has done are tasteful and modern while still holding on to the areas rustic charm. The pet friendly room I stayed in was immaculately clean. The proximity to the river can’t be beat and comes in handy when traveling with a dog. Cassidy, the manager was attentive and friendly from the time I booked the reservation. I am so happy I tried this place out again. Can’t wait to plan my next visit.
