Albion River Inn - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Beautiful view straight from room’s balcony. Breakfast was pretty good too. Location is not close to near city. Better to prepare some extra food

We've stayed here several times, including when it was the Albion River Inn. Great restaurant with a great bar and fabulous views. Rooms are cozy. I'd give it more stars but unfortunately, I accidentally left my AirPods (ear buds) in the room. I called the very next morning to ask if anyone had found them. The answer was no. A bit later I realized I can track their location from my phone, so I did, and found that they were in nearby Fort Bragg. So unfortunately, someone on the staff found them and took them.

Perfect weekend getaway. Rain or shine there is no wrong time to visit this place. We arrived when it was gloomy and rainy which made for a romantic evening to make a fire and listen to the rain. This made for a verdant and lush sunny day when the skies finally cleared up. The location and views are phenomenal. Best room service.

My and wife’s favorite place to stay. The most beautiful and peaceful place to say. You have a beautiful view from your deck which you can sit hours to enjoy. They have fire wood and a fire place ready for the cold nights with the most amazing jacuzzi bathtub to enjoy the view. Highly recommend this place to everyone. It doesn’t get more romantic than this. 10 Stars if could.

The Mendocino Coast Lodge is a great getaway place. Very quiet with beautiful views and friendly staff. The rooms are large with comfortable beds and a nice fireplace.

Great location, clean rooms and amazing ocean views!

Our room was outdated and in disrepair. Big rip on the screen door, worn out furniture, holes/stains/repairs needed. HOWEVER, the bed and pillows were amazing and the location is jaw-droppingly beautiful.

An absolutely amazing stay. The views were breathtaking even on a rainy stay. The fireplace made the rooms feel cozy. They even upgraded our room upon arrival! Will definitely be coming back.

Unbelievable view and incredible fireplace in room.. Place sits on top of a bluff and photos don’t do justice to view. Saw many birds of prey circling my morning coffee on porch.

Great spot to catch dinner and a sunset!

Location is a 10 min ride along winding roads. Rooms are very dated and it smells old. I would not stay here again. Restaurant is old too. This place needs a remodel. NO TV in rooms.

The hotel, freshly renovated, was superbly clean and new. The balcony and room directly faced the ocean, offering a magnificent view. It was truly therapeutic to watch the fireplace while listening to the sound of the waves. I particularly enjoyed the essential oil-infused toiletries provided, which were very comfortable to use. The complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. It would have been even better if lunch service was available.

¡El lugar es magnifíco y la vista a la costa es bellísima! Disfruté cada momento en este lugar

The lodge is ideally located with breath-taking views of the coast from your room and the deck of your room. The room we stayed in was in sore need of updating in the bathroom. And the room was worn in other places. Breakfast was very good and the folks that work there are helpful.

Wonderful lodge! We stayed in Room 20 which was very private. It didn’t share any walls and had a king bed and a spa tub! The bathtub was very nice and spacious with jets. The bed was comfortable and we used the fireplace which was very cozy. Highly recommend to go to the restaurant next for dinner and breakfast. Very good food and drinks with a nice view. The restaurant is easy walking distance from the rooms. Dinner started at 5pm and breakfast started at 8am. The only downside with the room we stayed in was the view was a bit blocked by trees/ bushes since we were at the end of the road we didn’t get as much of view as some of the other rooms.

This place is amazing! Each cottage has a great view. I did research and called ahead to figure out what room was what. We stayed in room 14 it had a private deck tub/shower combo and a single queen bed. You can check out binoculars at the front desk. I had no idea but when I saw whale I went up to the office and asked. Sure enough they signed me out two pairs. We saw a lot of grey whale out in the water. Feel free to check the pictures I posted her. Oh, there is not a tv in the room. With these views it’s not needed. But at night we did pull out my iPad to watch Netflix. Just an FYI.

Lovely cottage hotel right on the water. Loved the room, the fireplace, the view, and the tub. Just wish they enforced privacy a bit better. Some folks walked by in the restricted area while we were taking a bath. Anyway, highlights were seeing ospreys from the room and whales from the restaurant during breakfast.

To say our stay was a disappointment wouldn’t cover it. When we arrived at 5pm to check into our room we were told that we had free cocktails waiting for us but weren’t explained why (not that we are complaining about that). After we had completed the check in process we were told that there was people working in our room and we wouldn’t be able to use our room for 15-20 minutes more. After almost an hour of waiting we went back to front desk and expressed our frustration since we had a 6:15 dinner reservation that we missed due to the room not being ready. The manager came down and asked us what she could do to make our stay better, since we had been travelling all day we didn’t know what to say. Dinner was tasty and the cocktails were strong. Breakfast on the other hand was not good. You get a 20$ voucher for a breakfast that doesn’t fill you up. The only protein option they offered was eggs at the time of our stay. I ordered a few sides because I didn’t like anything on the menu and they came out at all difference times, my partner had finished their breakfast by the time my toast arrived to the table. As for the room, the ‘sliding’ screen door it hardly worked, you had to push on it in a certain spot in order to get it to move a couple inches. The windows also didn’t lock which was not preferable. Having the fireplace and ocean view with a porch was nice.

What a find. Steps from a great view. Individual cottages, clean and with a fireplace!!!

We stayed in room 11. Plus: Has an amazing view of the coast. 10 min from Mendocino town and 20 min from Fort Brag. Parking is free and on the hotels property for your safety. Has a small fridge in the unit. Coffee, and a complementary bottle of wine is included in the room. There is an ice maker on location. Restaurant is 2 min walking distance away. Breakfast is included in the stay. Cons: room interior is dated. Toilet is older and can hear it continuously drip. Fridge has a loud buzzing making it hard to sleep. There is a continuous fog horn going off every two to three seconds night and day that can drive you mad if you’re sensitive to noise. There’s no TV in the room. Bed is super hard. Feels like you’re sleeping on plywood. Although breakfast is included, beware of getting charged for additional items and 20% gratuity. If it wasn’t for the fog horn, i would consider staying here again.

We recently stayed at the Albion River Hotel and it was a pretty sweet spot. The location is great -with amazing views of the ocean. It's the perfect spot to catch a sunrise or sunset. The rooms are private and not at all fancy, but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. What I loved most about the hotel was its ” homey and charming feel”. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff were welcoming, which made the experience even better. It's clear that they care about making their guests feel at ease. Overall, I highly recommend the Albion River Hotel for anyone looking for a charming spot with amazing views. It's not luxurious or fancy, but it has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Beautiful inn. Felt like a prince in exile 🤴

If you're looking for the best the Mendocino coast has to offer, look no further. The setting overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Albion River is premium! Book dinner at their restaurant for the best in local seafood and wide selection of libations! And the staff is attentive to every detail of your needs! Stayed in one of their private spa cottages. Wood burning fireplace, whirlpool spa tub for two, wine and cigars on our private deck! It just doesn't get any better than Albion River Inn!

Incredible view from the room and clean and cozy place with a good price. Also have a charging for EV at front. Definitely will come back.

What a gem!!! Spectacular ocean front sun sets!!! Nothing short of amazing. Cozy room, great staff and excellent breakfast. We’ll definitely be back soon!!!

Love this place and love how they have no TVs

Clean welcoming room with a great view of the ocean. Wine and breakfast in restaurant included. Corner propane stove provides lovely heat.

Rooms are tired and a little thread bare. Comfortable beds. Views to die for.

Expensive. Great views. Clean rooms. I like burning wood. Complimentary breakfast very good. Restaurant not open for dinner everyday.

Amazing views and great restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Stay was nice, but the room needs some updating and attention to detail. The sliding door window in Room 9 has a broken seal so it is fogged and obscured the ocean view. The halibut dinner arrived cold including the rice and the filet that I had ordered rare was still cool in the inside so barely cooked. Service was good and wine and spirits list is impressive. I would not stay or eat here again with other local choices I have visited recently being better including room and food for the price.

We were in room 5 for an anniversary weekend. By far the best views of any nearby inn or hotel. It was warm and cozy, wood fireplace, spacious tub, clean room, comfortable bed, very quiet, and plenty of space. It's a little dated but everything was in working order. There were a couple of spiders in the bathroom but that's was not entirely unexpected with the location. No TV, although they had a limited wifi. The only unexpected thing was we had no cell service,but they had a phone in the room. Close to Mendocino and Fort Bragg, overall beautiful time!

Pretty little hotel, but definitely needs a little refreshening. Its older and the paint outside is peeling everywhere. The room was nice, but the private decks are really in need of attention. The 1/2 bottle of chardonnay as a welcome gift was lovely and the breakfast was also very good. I would stay again overall as the location was nice and the views were fabulous.

The room was cozy, and the views are stunning.

1. The location was excellent. Almost all the rooms has ocean view. We live in Room 1 and it has Jacuzzi. We watched sunset from the balcony. 2. The restaurant was 2 mins walk. The food is excellent with reasonable price. Free breakfast. 3. It's great for couples for a long weekend getaway. 4. There are several great restaurants nearby (for example, Michelin 2-star restaurant in the Harbor House Inn)

My husband and I stayed at the Albion River Inn in April 2022 for 3 nights. We were in room 7. Our room has a great view but our room patio door has some blurry areas. Not sure if it is dirty or scratched. So the view is not as great as it can be when we are sitting inside as we have to look through a somewhat blurry patio door. There are a couple chairs out on the patio to enjoy the great view. See photo taken from patio. The room is spacious and pretty clean. It is an older room so some amenities are a little dated. For example, it is harder to find plugs to charge our electronic devices. More modern rooms have plugs or usb ports right on the nightstand. Our room was quiet but no one was next us when we were there. Breakfast is included. We also ate dinner at the restaurant one night. The food is fine, not great but not bad either.

Incredible stay. Views were amazing. Food was really good. Continental breakfast isn't accurate. Much more than that. It's a full breakfast with incredible wait staff. Wonderful stay - we can't wait to come back.

One of our favorite eating spots on the Mendocino Coast. Consistently good food and service. Great cocktail selection.

Nice cottage style hotel with great view, fire place, easy parking, free bottle of wine, free breakfast.

If you love the ocean and 24 hours of surf you can not beat the Albion River Inn. The rooms are spacious and plush. Amazing breakfast is included. It all make for an unforgettable relaxing experience. The restaurant is fabulous as well

Fantastic views great service perfect for that special occasion. A local favorite

This is a special place that we thoroughly enjoyed. We’ll never forget the view from our porch.

Dinners Friday and Saturday night were wonderful.

Love this place rooms with beautiful views and comfortable.

The perfect spot to watch and listen to the river meet the sea. There is a gas fireplace in the room, and a private little deck to sit and watch the scenery. A lovely place with a good restaurant attached. No TV to distract. On clear nights you can see the milky way.

Beautiful spot on a bluff overlooking the sea. Good breakfast. Spacious and comfortable room, but could use a few minor updates.

Booked room 8 over the weekend and was pleased with the views this place provides. The room is decent and has an old world charm. They have a gas fireplace to keep you warm on cold nights. They also don't have a TV. There's an old small refrigerator in the room to keep your bottles cool. However, the place should have had a microwave at the least. Breakfast at the Albion River Restaurant was included.

Fantastic experience. Picturesque. Highly recommend.

Great, private room, view of the ocean, fireplace, jacuzzi, Thanksgiving Coffee in-room and a quality complimentary breakfast in the restaurant also overlooking the ocean inlet. Could add some depth to the room with real art, rather than the waiting room prints. Kinda took the soul out of the otherwise near perfect experience.

We had a glorious time, room 17 is fabulous!! I love the Albion River Inn.

Restaurant review only—not for the Inn. The service was amazing, as was the view. Unfortunately the meal did not match. The birthday reservation was also unacknowledged, until I asked specifically for a candle in an order of chocolate pudding/mouse. The food is generally charred with smokey tastes on much of the food-burgers, shrimp, scallops, soup… The potatoes were overly tart/sour and luke warm and a bit thin. The chowder soup also had a smokey taste, and was not very warm. The rice with the shrimp curry was undercooked. Overall, a disappointing meal at a former favorite.

One of the romantic places on my list

Beautiful lodging, breakfast is included, good food with priceless views. The rooms are beautiful. In the evening you can go to the bar and experience Scotch Tastings. They have a variety of flights and over 100 different kinds of Scotch!! It's really a great experience.

Stayed here this past weekend for my 10th wedding anniversary - and it did not disappoint! Super friendly and accommodating staff (Patty!). We only had appetizers, including the scallops and the salmon salad. Both were outstanding, but the service was even better (great job, Savannah!). We stayed in cottage #20, and I could not recommend it more. Unobstructed ocean views from the private deck and spa tub, a fireplace in the center replete with kindling, logs -- everything you need. The bed and the leather chairs were so comfortable! Albion River Inn is a can't-miss stay. We are already longing to go back!

Awesome...all 30 yrs we have come!

Food and cocktails were good. I had the swordfish special which was really good with risotto and lots of veggies, great dish, on the light side but the plate is full, so it is definitely filling.

We really like this spot. Comfortable cottages with wood burning fireplaces and decks with great views. Double spa tub was a real plus.

Beautiful ambiance, outstanding quality dining experience.

Beautiful, peaceful & comfortable with great food!

Beautiful backdrop for a sunset dinner. Food is ok. Service is average.

Very cosy cottages along the cliff with great views of the ocean.

Great food and service with wonderful views. The asparagus soup and filet mignon were delicious

Love this gorgeous place. The restaurant is amazing too.

Great view, cozy rooms, fantastic restaurant.

This place is fantastic. We still have one night left here, but so far it's been great. The views are amazing, the rooms were very clean, and the staff was quick to help with a couple small issues we had. My only couple of complaints are small, and easy to overlook and may be different for different rooms, we stayed in 19 and still loved it. A small microwave would've been great since most of the places to get food are at least 15 minutes or so away and pretty busy on weekends. The walking paths could be lit better, walking from the restaurant to room 19 after dinner, a couple drinks, and in the rain was a bit of an adventure. The fireplace could use an updated door, the folding glass doors don't seal at all, so if you want a small fire then you're going to get a good bit of smoke in the room, or it's going to burn much quicker and hotter, no real in between. Continental breakfast is meh, but coffee tastes like actual coffee so that's a win. Small gripes aside, definitely still 5 stars, everything is clean, comfortable, rhe restaurant serves good food, and the grounds are beautiful.

Great views, clean rooms and the restaurant was very good!

Incredible views. Wood fireplace

Beautiful view and nice accommodations. Wish we had bottle of water in the room, but that's the only thing missing!

This is my second time here, different cabin - still love it- foghorn and all!

Views were amazing! Rooms looked nicer online and could use updating. Restaurant was delicious with great service!

My wife and I had an amazing experience at Albion River Inn. We weren't sure if our wedding (an elopement) would be able to take place, but since our party was small (only immediate families) Chelsea (our contact) was able to accommodate us. We could not imagine our day to be any more perfect and are beyond pleased with our experience. We look forward to returning for anniversaries in the future and highly recommend Albion River Inn for a weekend getaway and/or elopement.

My wife and I have been staying here at least once a year for the past 15 years. We have always had a wonderful experience. Each room has a ocean view, private deck replete with Adirondack chairs, and a comfortable setting area inside for when the coast weather encourages one to be indoors. The restaurant offers fine dining and has an excellent wine selection. If budget conscious, ask for one of the "Original" rooms.

Good food. Great view. Friendly, helpful service

Staff is really great and friendly! The food was tasty and the view was fantastic! Great area to go to if you want to get away from the busy city! The whiskey flights are more then worth it!

Loved it! We can’t wait to go back. The room was amazing, the views incredible and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! 💖 The pictures on the website don’t do it justice - the rooms have been updated and look awesome! Love the vibe!

One of the nicest places on the Mendocino coast. We've tried every restaurant for 25 miles north and south, this one is always our favorite. Huge selection of whiskeys and tequilas.

Great views, excellent accommodations and dining experience was outstanding

We just went to the restaurant, but the inn area looked adorable. Since the area is a little remote, we weren’t expecting it to be almost full, even though it was a Friday night. The restaurant was beautiful inside, all windows and dark wood and fairy lights. You can look out over the ocean while you dine, and there’s a little back garden area to sit or stand and talk after dinner. It’s a little chilly for a September evening, but would be great earlier in the day. The wait staff was very high quality, they anticipated all our needs and we didn’t have to wait around to be served. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The freshly made bread and whipped butter were lovely. We had the bouillabaisse and seared pepper ahi tuna (the tuna was part of the chef’s 3 course special which included a cup of soup or salad and dessert with the entree). The clam chowder is creamy and flavorful, it had a nice herby note. The ahi was cooked beautifully, it was very flaky and tender. The bouillabaisse was packed with seafood, the small scallops and fish were my favorite. The wine/whisky list is extensive, they have a lot of local wines as well as other costal and European vintages. A sommelier is on hand to assist you in your choice. The chocolate mousse was perfect with a shared glass of port. Wonderful experience overall.

They were very kind to me and my husband, we were traveling and needed to stop to use the rest room, we tried 3 places and we were all turned down. They were kind enough to open the door and let us use the rest room, I cant wait to try the food! Next trip its on our to do list.

Best views, best accommodations, best staff, best restaurant in the most beautiful place in North America. So relaxing sitting by a fire with a glass of wine overlooking the Pacific waves crashing on the cliffs.

Beautiful unobstructed ocean views. Fireplace and spa tub. Perfection.

Not just a beautiful inn on the Mendocino coast but a fabulous restaurant and a quaint little bar.

Nice bar, great view, good scotch selection

Upscale casual dining. Impressive ocean views.

I don’t think I would ever want to stay anywhere else in the Mendocino area. You can sit on your deck or in your jacuzzi tub and watch the world go by. I highly recommend a set of binoculars and a bird-book. Spotted several Ospreys and a Bald Eagle off the deck. The only down side is that the house keeping staff doesn’t seem very happy. They do their job well and are very courteous and professional. They just don’t seem to smile much. Kind of pulls you out of your blissful experience.

Greater place, delicious and fine food. Friendly and great service. Their place is located right by the water, so you get to eat while gazing at the sunset. This place is definitely perfect for romantic dining. The dress code is casual, so you don't need to worry about formality.

Nice place with a very good restaurant, rooms have fire places and comfortable beds. Only complaint is there are no TVs.

Beautiful rooms with comfortable bed and well stocked fireplace. Nice restaurant with complementary breakfast and delicious dinners. Excellent staff. The landscaping and views are outstanding and gorgeous!

Great bed and breakfast on the northern California coast. Pictures are of, and from room 5. Alway a nice get away! Fantastic staff very helpful.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The food was amazing.

Delicious fish and duck. Fresh veggies. Lots and lots of good wines. Great service and great views.

Whiskey tasting is awesome. Flurry is the best host ever!!

Great coastal resort EVEN THOUGH NO BEACH ACCESS. The suites are cute and the parking lot blends with the surrounding nature. Most of all... it's the restaurant with great wine, and views - AND THE BAR. The breakfast is the best example of what makes this place a hidden treasure.

Amazing view and comfortable room. Parking is just outside of your room. Nice staff and easy access to the restaurant. Amenities include free breakfast and a half bottle of wine to welcome you. Gas fire place and a bath.

Delicious food, great service, lovely cocktails and wine, and a spectacular ocean view sunset to boot!

Delicious meal with a gorgeous view of the ocean. It's perfect for a romantic sunset dinner. The staff is so nice and they are very knowledgeable. Plus the bar is so extensive!

Spectacular views, great food at a reasonable price!

Ooh la la! Very intimate experience. The kind of place where you just want to sit in the living room, wrapped in a blanket and watch the boats go in and out of the harbor. The restaurant is equally enchanting. A live pianist was playing when we were there.

Beautiful views, lovely cottage vibes, great food. Perfect relaxing get away.

It is beautiful here! The rooms have gorgeous views. The restaurant has the most amazing food and your complementary breakfast is excellent as well. I highly recommend this relaxing place.
