River Lodge

River is lodge a completely renovated midcentury modern roadside motel dream! The designers here did not miss a single thing. Everywhere you look there are such thoughtful and cute details: the custom furniture, the tiles, the room key hooks, I could go on and on! This place is styled to an absolute t. The pool is the true gem of this property and you feel absolutely transported kicked back on a comfy lounger with a drink from the bar...and it's heated! We were here for one night in a classic king which included a fireplace and front porch with a hammock. The room was spacious and well laid out, the shower towels were super soft and the body care products smelled heavenly. We slept so well in the comfy king bed and loved the croissants they served for breakfast from the local bakery.||All of the staff we encountered were friendly and attentive, and we had dinner at Ciao Papi which was delicious. Couple of things to note: Check your pre arrival email the day of because when you get there it's difficult to know where to park and find the lobby as there are no signs. They've only been open for two weeks so hopefully they'll have better signage soon. As far as noise goes, all of the rooms surround the pool and they play music until 10pm so if you are needing to go to bed very early this may not be the best choice for you. The windows are thin and they do let in a lot of sound from the outside (including your neighbors who might be enjoying their hammocks), however, the actual room walls themselves are super think and we couldn't hear anything from the people on either side of us at night.||Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and wished it was longer. We will absolutely be back next time we are in Paso. I have a feeling this is about to be the new hot spot in town!

What an experience!! This completely remodeled motel is amazing! The decor and all the special touches that are visible everywhere you look, are totally on point! The room was spotless, beautifully appointed, and the bed and the bedding was outstanding.. the robe.. OMG was heaven. The staff is upbeat, super accommodating and so helpful. The pool, bar and restaurant all poolside was incredibly fun and beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be back!! Thank you River Lodge Team!!

So apparently this motel is a remodeled motel of an abandoned sketchy motel and wow it is amazing. Very reminiscent of Madonna Inn with the Mad Men kitchy, yet modern trendy vibe. Rooms have hammocks. Pool is heated and great fire pits and hot tub. Price this weekend for two nights was about $750 a little less than Adelaide and that motel is ok, and we only stayed there because of festival proximity and bottle share parties at pool. But this is a 5 star motel with a pool bar and amazing bartender Ben! He brought us our order while we were in hot tub....talk about table or pool side service. The craft cocktails are nothing short of creative, delicious, and all around fabulous. I can't believe finding this place that just opened a month ago and on the busiest weekend besides mid state fair. Certainly, a diamond in the rough. Michael at check in was also super cool and excited about meeting guests. The good and positive vibes are contagious here.

My husband and I stayed at the River Lodge the first night it opened, just in time for our honeymoon last week! It was previously a run down motel that has now been totally renovated, and they did a PHENOMENAL job. The rooms are beautifully decorated, complete with a creative mini bar, cozy robes, and a comfortable bed. Every morning breakfast includes various croissants, jam, fruit, and yogurt along with coffee, oat and dairy milk, and orange juice - all delicious! Our favorite part, however, was relaxing by the pool and hot tub. The restaurant/bar Ciao Papi is right by the pool as well, which made the experience above and beyond our expectations! The staff waited on us as we lounged and brought our orders right to our poolside chairs, which was fantastic. We were there for several days and tried nearly everything on the menu, and it was all incredible!! Our favorite were the patatas frittes which we ordered every single day! The cocktails were all delicious and creative as well. The food menu is well balanced with lighter option and heavier dinner entrees and has great vegetarian options if that is your jam. The staff throughout the restaurant and hotel were all incredible and so friendly. They even gave us a free bottle of wine and a free dessert on our last night for our honeymoon! Kind gestures like this are so appreciated, and we were so grateful to spend our honeymoon at such a fantastic place. We will definitely be returning to River Lodge in the future and would recommend to anyone looking for a quick stay or a longer getaway!

Super bummed service is non existent at best, room was filthy and poorly maintained not sure how to describe the decor...... sad because the place is very cute or could be with a relatively small amount of effort. Sad to see an old original "Motor Lodge" just ignored and let go. This could be a great little place in our community instead of a rundown eye sore.

It's way better now that the C MO are pushed outta here,and really nice owner and I get wifi still from next door cause it's so close!!! Thanks

The place is quiet,location is close to shopping & places to eat

They are closed bought by city of paso Robles ...?

The Mrs. and I spent one night at the River Lodge this week. Lodging options have gotten pretty luxurious in Paso Robles over the last 20 or so years. The River Lodge sits in a good location. It's very close to the wineries on the west side of the 101 and about one exit down from Spring Street which is the Paso Robles's main road. It is across the street from a small shopping mall with a Target and a few other shops and restaurants. We arrived on Monday afternoon around 3. Pre-check in was done via email short of assigning a room. We then made our way to the lobby and were greeted by Hope. She quickly finished checking us in and assigned us room 21. Room 21 is a large room with a king bed. The decor is minimal but eclectic and comfortable. The bathroom was pretty big. There is a walk-in shower with a small bench built into the wall. There is a separate vanity space with a large mirror and counter. A large closet the houses a small refrigerator. The bed was probably the most comfortable motel bed I've ever slept on. The pillows were large and plentiful. The linens were soft and luxurious. Each room has its own front porch with two chairs and a hammock and a small fenced in yard. There is a pool, which is heated, and a jacuzzi. The pool area houses the restaurant and bar called Ciao Papi. We had a few drinks at the bar and they were good. Ciao Papi is entirely outdoors so you are at the mercy of the elements when you dine. It was about 53 degrees Monday night so the restaurant wasn't busy at all. I only have a few minor negative comments. The first one is we ordered a pizza through room service. It was delivered with no plates or napkins. None are provided in the room. We ended up eating our pizza on some napkins that were in my wife's purse. The second was the bathmat is on a towel bar inside the shower and washcloths aren't hanging in the shower area they are on the vanity. When I realized this I had to get out of the shower and retrieve one. The floor is made of tile and can get pretty slippery. The water pressure in the shower was weak but that is to be expected in older buildings but it seemed to me that the shower head was smaller than the space it occupied. The staff we encountered were very friendly. All of them on the younger side and all very eclectic which added to the charm of the River Lodge. They all seemed to genuinely care about providing a great guest experience.

Love this place. The room was great and the pool was amazing with the bar and cafe! We hiked in the morning and spent the rest of the day by the pool. Service was perfect. Then, every evening we would enjoy a great meal in downtown Paso Robles.

Recently opened and stayed for 3 nights. The renovation is great and has good vibes. The rooms are cozy and well designed. The towels are big and plush and so nice. Soap and lotion all smell relaxing and spa like. The pool area is beautiful and has very comfortable lounge chairs/beds. There's a decent size spa and two fire pits on the property. They have bikes you can check out and ride the area. Very cool and fun perk. The bar and restaurant staff are great and the drinks are good. They have a breakfast layout in the morning. Croissants, yogurt, fruit and coffee. The coffee was not super strong and I wish they switched up the baked goods but good. Biggest issue is finding the lobby. It's in the middle of the property with no signage. With all being said, loved the property and staff and had a great stay.

My husband and I are in our honeymoon and booked this place on a whim for one night. It's been so nice and relaxing we extended two more nights. The rooms are so cozy with the fireplace and love the little patio with a hammock. 10/10 recommend also the restaurant Ciao Papi is AMAZING from the drinks to the food it did not disappoint.

What a wonderful retro style motel. Hip vibe with the most dog friendly place I've been. Staff was so helpful and friendly. Pool/ bar scene is so fun and relaxing with dogs allowed at the pool. Each room has its own little yard and hammock. My wife and I will be coming back many times and finally found our permanent stay while visiting family and wine tasting here. One of our favorite places we've stayed ever. Love the palm springs desert style vibe the throw at you.

Sadly, we never had the opportunity to have dinner or cocktails here. Called two different days to make a reservations. 5 people on Friday afternoon and then 4 more people on Monday. Left messages on their message center to please call me back and confirm. Two days in a row....never got a call back. I guess they don't want our business. This is not a good start. We would have loved to all had a chance to experience this new place. We have heard good things. I am not going to call a third time. I rarely give out one star. Very disappointed.

So much character and such a chill vibe. We hung out by the pool a couple afternoons and the staff were super nice, Cristy was our favorite. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed here last night and went to a concert at Vina Robles nearby. This hotel just opened recently, and what a beautiful place! Our room was done with impeccable style and taste. It was a generous size, and even included a sitting room area. We had a private patio in the front with a hammock AND a private fenced in patio in the back, with a fire pit and seating. We also had dinner and drinks at Ciao Papi, the restaurant, which was convenient and delicious.

We were very happy with our current stay at the River Lodge Motel. The rooms were great, beds were super comfy. We went to the pool everyday, terrific service every time we went. Food and drinks were excellent. Very pet friendly, even to our extra large pit bull! We will definitely be back!

Wife and I stayed here when we saw Lord Huron in Paso Robles.. This place has an awesome vibe. Loved the entire look and feel, loved the room, really nice pool/bar scene, the staff were super accommodating AND there's a great restaurant alfresco called Ciao Papi. Five stars well deserved. We'll be staying here again for sure.

My girlfriend and I stopped in to check out the pool side bar. Ben was are bartender and he made us delicious drinks. We will have to go back again and try the food. The plates we saw coming out look good. Ben's cocktails will have us coming back for sure.

I highly recommend this Motel. Such a great new place in Paso Robles. A lovely well renovated run down motel rose up from the ashes like a gorgeous Phoenix! And those of us lucky enough to have been the first 500 people to stay at newly renovated motel is just amazing! Hammocks at the doors, kitchy, 1960s vibe, plush towels, excited and helpful staff! Beautiful views and classy cocktails and food options including free breakfast!

Absolutely fantastic service from Ben and Christy. Food was amazing and drinks were beyond great. We visited just for dinner and will 100%be back!

Service was amazing. The room was super cute, the pool was really cool. The whole energy was laid back but also high end at the same time. I'm so impressed and I will absolutely be going back.
