If you are looking for a place to host a party, wedding or retreat that is welcoming and warm, but won’t break the bank then American River Inn is the place for you. Our kids held a 35th anniversary party there for us and we had about 70 people who all had a great time. We had a mix of catered appetizers and pizza from the local pizzeria, as well as a bar (we furnished the bartender and alcohol). It was a great place for a gathering. By booking the entire hotel we did not incur a venue fee and more importantly had 14 rooms available for family and friends to stay the night. We partied on the outside deck and then later brought the party inside to the living room when the group was smaller. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and big bonus we were able to bring our puppy. The next morning the Inn provided a delicious breakfast.

Laura, the manager was particularly gracious and helpful. The American River Inn is charming with 14 different rooms, some with bathrooms, some with shared baths. Perfect for a family reunion if you are looking for modern style or hotel amenities this may not be the place for you. For our event, and our family and friends we found the experience delightful.
