My girlfriend and I stayed there two nights the last weekend of August while in town for a wedding. After the treachorous drive up 128 while hungover, we were pleasantly surprised by the property. Our room was very large, quite comfortable and well appointed plus the bathroom was huge; all good things. I went to the miniscule store back across... more

The foghorn blasts every 30 seconds, but not to worry--earphone are provided gratis at this "romantic" hideaway, a thoughtful surprise from management...'surprise' being the operative word, as no warning is provided on the lovely website. If a ship hits the rocks despite the earsplitting warning, a 911 call from your cellphone is impossible (no coverage here), but you'll enjoy a... more

We have stayed at the Albion River Inn about 8 times now, both in summer and winter. Having stayed in a number of hotels and inns in Napa, Carmel, San Francisco, etc., we think that there's no value comparable to the Albion. The rooms are large, quiet and tastefully decorated; most are single story and have decks looking directly on... more

The fog horn is a bummer. We like the inn and the complimentary wine in the room is very nice but can't get past the noise from the fog horn. more

We had a very nice stay at this charming property. It's located about 15 minutes south of Mendocino, perched on a dramatic bluff over the ocean and at the river's end. We loved the real wood burning fireplace and cottage-like privacy of the units (we had Unit 7, which has no-one above or below you and feels private and quiet).... more

We have been staying at Albion River Inn for about 12 years now, and I believe this was our sixth visit. Albion is one of those places that may not be the most luxurious, and may not have the most epicurean meals, but it is SPECIAL and well-loved by its many fans, us included! We were in #5 cottage this... more

There is a reason why we return every year in March, shortly after the whale festival. Actually there are several reasons: the beautiful panoramic views from every cottage, the comfortable beds, the welcoming staff, the well-maintained rooms and grounds, the peacefulness of the suroundings, the bountiful breakfasts included in the room rate, and the proximity to many gardens, parks, restaurants,... more

Recently, my husband and I spent a night at the Albion River Inn. It was lovely except they don't tell you that a major fog horn blairs every 30 seconds ( this occurs 24/7 ) below the Inn. The fog horn is stationed on some rocks in the bay below the Inn. It is not a low quiet sound and... more

The view from the cottages is great, if you can get past the mean and spiteful folks who run the place. If you hope to mingle with radical pot smoking weirods, this is your place, but if you want a relaxing weekend avoid at all costs. The restaurant - again the view is great, but the food is best avoided. more
