River Lodge

We recently had a little staycation at River Lodge, and I must say, they have outdone themselves once again! They’ve created an amazing experience. If you’re a local, this is a fantastic getaway. The environment is perfect for disconnecting, whether you want to enjoy time with a loved one or simply want some solitude. If you’re visiting Paso, I highly recommend staying here; it’s conveniently located just the right distance from downtown Paso and the wineries. As far as the place it self is easy and so relaxing spend a lot of time in the hammock outside the room, the pool is great, the staff, drinks and food were awesome highly recommend River lodge

I love that it’s 21 and over. My husband and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary here this beautiful Memorial Day weekend. Our accommodations were amazing. We had room 21. It was perfect for us, our entry to the heated pool, spa and bar was located in front of our path. The hammock in front of our porch was a beautiful way to end the evening. We are definitely coming back, and recommending to all our friends. We also met some beautiful people there too.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the River Lodge In Paso Robles-- the perfect staging location for our weekend of wine tasting and visiting friends. This 1950s era roadside motel and its grounds has been stylishly and tastefully remodeled and we found the rooms to be quiet and very well appointed. Our favorite part of the River Lodge was the Ciao Papi restaurant / bar and pool complex. Very well-planned! Seeing the hot tub, plenty of relaxing lounge chairs, and the adjacent bar, we decided to end one of our wine tasting days early so that we could have a full afternoon at the pool. This did not disappoint! All four of us would highly recommend this hotel for couples and friends visiting the area.

Overall a really nice stay. This is a bit of a gem in the middle of Paso and definitely feels like a renovation with a lot of money behind it and not just a cheap flip. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Enjoyed the pool and restaurant as well.||I take one star off for having virtually zero breakfast options during the week (i dont count the dry instant oatmeal containers I can purchase at the gift shop as a breakfast option). Staying at a property of this level (and one that is so comfortable otherwise) in the middle of the heat of August, the last thing I want to do is have to leave to get some breakfast. Even better "for-purchase" options would go a long way- but the current choices are sad. Also the service in general at the bar and front desk was not great. Bartender made me the incorrect drink I ordered and front desk could not have been more indifferent when we asked about nearby places we could go to get breakfast. ||Would stay again, but they have a couple kinks to work out.

We loved our tastefully decorated room, the comfortable bed, the private front porch area and the restaurant and bar on site. The pool will be great during the hotter summer months. Although River Lodge is not walkable to downtown Paso Robles, it is close to many award winning wineries. Treat yourself and book a stay at this updated and fun motel!

Traveling with a group for our annual spring wine tasting trip. Staying at the River Lodge was one of the highlights of our trip! The "Motel" has been redone in a very classy manner...from the private front yard and hammocks, to the room furnishings and amenities. The pool area, hot tub, poolside bar and restaurant became our "Go to" after our wine tasting excursions. A great place to unwind and reconnect! I hope to plan another trip to Paso Robles in the future just so I can stay at the River Lodge again!

Had an amazing stay here. Really enjoyed the food and bar here. Really felt like we were in our own little vacation bubble. We got room 4 which has an outdoor shower and courtyard and then our friends got room 1 with a courtyard. You can join the courtyards as an option which was cool. We will definitely come back.

River Lodge was such a relaxing getaway. The rooms are super cute with a cozy fireplace and hammock on the front porch. We loved visiting the restaurant for amazing cocktails. Only wish it was sunnier out during our stay so we could enjoy the adults-only pool.

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.
