American River Inn

Interesting experience. Breakfast was delicious. Proprietors were nice. Pro Tip: Do not book third party. Call directly. We were contacted as we were leaving to head there and told that our room couldn't access the bathroom except through another room that was booked. So they offered to let us cancel (that's nice) or to take the downstairs room with two twin beds. It was Valentine's Day, so not ideal, but we are always up for an adventure. The bathroom for that room is the only one on the floor and accommodated anyone visiting the lobby/parlor. So while the inn keeper did recommend enjoying the deep claw footed tub, that seemed pretty awkward. lol Other guests also congregated outside of our door in the sitting area, so it was weird hanging out in the room. The room was pretty run down, though clean. One of the twin beds was very very soft and the other was very very hard. So, I guess something for everyone? The breakfast was AMAZING! Would be a fun place to stay in better weather where we could utilize the outdoor areas, and with a group. Would stay here again just for the breakfast! So delicious. And the girls who served breakfast were really sweet.

Old gold country style and furnishings. Walkable distance to eats. Quiet and comfortable.

Super cute bed and breakfast. Not glamorous but authentic. Would stay here again.

The buildings architecture and decoration was full of old world charm. Art displayed everywhere and the owner made a delicious breakfast.

Our stay was delightful. My husband and I were the only guests for our one night stay. We chose a room with a private bath and were also given a room with an air conditioner. We were on the second floor. There were three "shared" bathrooms there. One was open and was quite modern compared to the bathroom in our room. The Inn is quite large and it is filled with antiques and so many other interesting things. Our hostess was charming. We enjoyed talking with her as we had cheese, fruit and wine in the afternoon. Breakfast was delicious with orange juice, fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, an English muffin and coffee. There is WiFi and parking is on the street.

Disappointed Two stars because set breakfast was mother's home-cooking, with two sweet hired girls serving 5 tables. One star otherwise. Hoping this would be the nicest stay of 8 accommodations in our 3 weeks in California, I was sorely disappointed. It was the worst; with later insult added to injury. First indication was the cracked glass in the front door; then small sign at owner's desk advising a currently non-functioning hot tub. Owner described the several restaurants in the small town. Not much else open. He suggested a walk for activity which we did take, discovering little activity in the town. Our room was a sad surprise, a mishmash of furniture, lighting, kitchen sink, but no refrigerator, a bath tub within the room, a separate compartment with toilet and sink. A renovated bathroom with shower was excellent, but across a hallway. As to lighting, the lights adjacent to bed were too dim to see for reading. The table lamp was difficult to use, the wardrobe in corner was too dark to use, had no hangers, and would not hold my suitcase which thus had to be placed on the table. Similar lighting problems at other side of room. The worst of the room was the stand-alone roaring air conditioner, over which the road roar of accelerating loud trucks and cars went on 'til toward 10 or 11 pm, indicating life speeds past this town. I early discovered that the door from the room onto the veranda actually could be opened, however there was no sitting furniture on the dirty porch. Later in the
