Q- When may I make room reservations?

A- Room reservations may be made, at any time, by calling toll-free 800-417-3767. Because holiday weekends tend to fill up so quickly, we do not take reservations more than 6 months in advance. We do maintain a wait-list, and there are sometimes last minute cancellations, so please check with our reservations office, even if you think we may be booked.

Q-What if I need to cancel a reservation?

A-Cancellations are accepted, without penalty, as long as you cancel more than 7 days prior to your scheduled check-in. On holiday and special event weekends, we require a 14 day advance cancellation. Regrettably, we must charge the first night fee for cancellations received later than those minimums.

Q-What are the check-in and check-out times?

A-Check-in time is 2:00pm and check-out is 11:00am. Please inquire about alternate arrangements and we will do our best to accommodate your requirement.

There are several gay and lesbian bars, dining establishments and a late night club, all within easy walking distance of the Russian River Resort. We have so much going on at the RRR, though, that we do not know why you would want to go anywhere else! Check our Links page for other venues in town.

Q-What sightseeing do you recommend?

We recommend the following: * wine tasting on the Russian River Wine Trail. * a visit to Armstrong Woods State Reserve, with its spectacular old-growth redwoods. * a drive west, about 14 miles, to the coast. From there, head either north, to Fort Ross, or south, to Bodega Bay * canoeing on the Russian River, there are local canoe rental options. * Just ask any of our hotel staff, and they will be happy to tell you more!

At our Annual Celebrity Bartender Marathon on Christmas Day in 2006, we raised over $13,500 in twelve hours for six local charities.
