River Lodge Paso - 21 & Over Pool | Book like an insider

What guests think

At River Lodge Paso - 21 & Over Pool, travelers praise the stylish, comfortable rooms and the adults-only pool scene with bar, hot tub, fire pits, and hammocks, alongside friendly service that creates a laid-back stay.

Many enjoy the on-site restaurant and cocktails, while a few report uneven drinks, slower poolside service, and limited breakfast or coffee hours. The location is convenient for driving to downtown, Tin City, and wineries, but it is not very walkable and freeway proximity can make outdoor areas feel less tranquil.

Overall, it suits relaxed wine-country trips by car.

Very cute, right off the freeway and next to a big shopping center just outside of the main part of town. The hot tub was great, cute little hammocks on each rooms yard. Felt like a cute little Mexico or palm springs resort

This is a beautiful property, but right next to freeway so you need to accept freeway noise in the pool area which we found stressful. Would be 5 star property without the noise from the freeway.

Wonderful hotel! If they keep their prices reasonable we will be back but I just looked for 6 months time and the same room is already $60 more than we paid! It’s brand new so everything was in great condition and they were working hard to service everyone well. Loved the pool area which has a bar and restaurant so no need to go anywhere if you don’t want to which is what we were looking for. Pool is over 21s only so it’s the perfect place for a couples getaway.

Everything was outstanding. A friendly greeting in the lobby and quick check in. The pool was great but you cannot have your favorite local wine at the pool. You can, however, have it opened at dinner for modest corking fee. Overall, Great!!

This property is newly renovated to perfection. It was better than expected with each room like its your own little casita. We loved all the attention to detail and loved the pool. We spent time by the pool with plenty of shade available, read in the hammock and stared at the stars from the fire pit. Helpful staff and free parking. Easy quick drive to downtown Paso and wineries.

The hot tub was great. We were there in a cooler day and wished the pool was slightly more heated. The rooms were nice. We also enjoyed the fire pits at night. We’ll definitely be back.

River Lodge lives up to the hype!! They have thought of everything. The design is gorgeous, the bed is super comfy, and the pool is fantastic. My pup enjoyed her time there, too. With the front yard and grassy areas, it was super easy to have her along for the relaxing weekend.

The rooms are adorable, clean and comfortable. The pool is fun and relaxing. The whole property makes you feel relaxed and recharged after a long day of work or wine tasting.

The pool is beautiful, the restaurant was good, and the room was very comfortable. We had a nice mattress and pillows, soft towels, a fireplace, and a smart TV. We will be staying there again on our next trip to Paso Robles.

Wanted to love this cute place but FROZE as a result of a ceiling unit that never got warm. Bathroom had no vent and it was 40 degrees outside. Also, no iron in the room was not typical and both parties needed one. Restaurant is outside and it was too cold to sit. Perhaps this motel is better in the summer. Also, loud music played at the restaurant until 10ish and I had asked for a quiet room.

Super cute newly converted property. Spacious room, nice pool. Friendly reception staff. Let us check out a little late so I could take an important zoom meeting in the room. A couple dings - never got the text with property info like wifi or pool access code. Pool had no towels around when we arrived late afternoon. They gave us an upgrade at check in with a bigger outdoor space, that we didn't need or use (OK), which gave us a smaller bed and possibly loudest room given its proximity to the highway.

I will for sure be staying here again next time I am in the area!

We knew about this hotel through Nomada partners. Their sister Hotel is in Los Alamos and we were keen to stay at one of the properties. The aesthetics alone are enough to make anyone swoon. Check in was super easy and the hotel staff was very nice, informative, and accommodating. The ammenities & products felt so luxurious, clean, and thought of to every last detail. The food at Ciao Papi is some of the best in Paso Robles. We live in Sonoma County and have had really great fresh food and this was some of the best pizza by far. We cancelled plans for one of our days just to lay poolside! Pet friendly for a much more affordable fee than a lot of other hotels in downtown Paso, and you can even have them in the pool area on a leash. We also thought it would be loud being so close to Highway 101 and Hwy 46, but it was VERY quiet and we all got the best nights sleep. Will most definitely be staying again.
