Location: 3.5 - There's not much going on in American River - so if you stay here, be prepared that…read morethere is only one gas station and one general store next to each other that closes at 6pm. If you need gas or food after that, you gotta drive to penneshaw or kingscote. Beyond that, the location is cool. The bay across and an outdoor pool behind. All the rooms are on the same floor and is more similar to a motel except car parking is across the street. Room: 3.5 - It's dated and the paint is coming off of everything (towel racks are rusty). The room, however, is bright and clean. A bar with a sink, toaster, and hot water kettle. Instant coffee and tea is provided. Milk in the fridge. Quite good. WiFi 4: Available and great reception if you are in the lobby or close to the lobby. $5 to get their password for the duration of your stay. Unfortunately the lobby closes after 9pm so if your room is not close enough then you will have to sit by the pool that's next to the lobby. Service 5: The girl who is also the server for the restaurant who received us was really friendly and answered my billion questions. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
