Quaint Hotel in a Magical Place
The hotel was right on the River. The restaurant was great . The owners were super nice, but not the type of owners that get to know their customers. They just say hi and bye and here’s your key. Just mentioning this because we are the type of travelers that like to get to know people a little, so we thought that was strange. Still loved the place. They do have balconies on the river, but we weren’t offered this option, so we were able to sit on the lawn behind the hotel and enjoy the river for a little while. The breakfast was great. Super clean. There are no heaters/ac in the individual rooms, they just have a main thermostat in the hallway set at 66 degrees. Super cute and super safe hotel.

The Highland Dell is a sweet hotel that has a fantastic European inn vibe. We loved staying here and plan to stay there again. The German food in the restaurant is wonderful as well.

Not recommending this property! The room was small, the bed was hard and very uncomfortable so were the pillows, they were too soft and didn’t offer neck support. The sheets and pillowcases smelled strongly like bleach , it was suffocating. I didn’t get much sleep. The room didn’t have a refrigerator nor microwave, nor pressing iron. The air didn’t work and it got warm during the night. I left early since I could bear being there for another night.

Along Russian River
The hotel.was vey clean and in a quiet area. The balcony was overseeing the river. The restaurant was closed that night but the receptionist recommended a restaurant a couple hundred yards away, which was.also very nice.

It was nice having the balcony looking out at the river. Nice having the bar and restaurant. The hours were very limited but still nice. Very friendly staff. The "breakfast" was ok, we thought there would be better selection. Was easy to walk around Monte Rio area, which we really like. The Lodge has lots of character and we enjoyed our stay.

The property is charming but dated. Room was clean but not in good shape. There is a big stain above our bed with prior leek or collapse sealing. When we walked in we smell chemicals that probably were use to clean the room. The front desk gave us a fan to air it out, but never offered to change the room. Smell subsided but never went away. For B&B breakfast was mediocre, small continental breakfast like in motel. Location is great, right on the bank of Russian river, but to get to it is a challenge.

Pretty quiet & clean
Bed was comfy & clean. No air conditioning no closet but that wasn’t a big deal. There was a nice variety of breakfast items in the morning along with coffee and tea. Very reasonably price I was quite satisfied and would definitely come back again

This place was the cutest little bed and breakfast around the scenic Drive to get there through the redwoods was my favorite. Once we got there, we didn’t have to leave the restaurant that is there is amazing and the breakfast in the morning was perfect! Would highly recommend this property to any traveler.

We had a wonderful couple of days staying on the Russian River. The location of the B&B is perfect and absolutely stunning. We enjoyed swimming directly off the small dock and watching the sunset. However, a few things in the B&B let our stay down. I had read lots of reviews that said it was clean. In our room there was so much dust on the bed frames, skirting boards and picture frames, it looked like it hadn’t been dusted in a long time. Behind and under the furniture was even worse. The shower curtain in the bathroom was mouldy and we had issues with the shower. We did speak to a member of staff who said that several guests had complained about it and that someone would look at it when we were out for the day. On our return, I spoke to the owner and she said she knew nothing about it and would send someone up to look at it. He did arrive promptly but seemed dismissive of the problem and that ‘was the way showers are in California’ (it felt like we were being jet washed when using it). Our shower in the hotel in San Francisco was fine. He did look at it and helped us to get a better pressure, but did concede that there was a problem with it. I have read the reviews about lack of kettle, fridge, foldable seats in the room and reluctance to provide ice and glasses, which they did give us (two wine glasses but I couldn’t negotiate glass water glasses so ended up with plastic cups!). Finally, we had expected a warm and friendly welcome which wasn’t very forthcoming.
