Large, well appointed room, helpful staff, delightful!
Enjoyed the room, although would not have booked the hotel knowing that there's really not someone at the front desk but rather someone who comes and goes along with no phones in the room and poor TV. Next stay would be the beach or Cambria Pine Lodge 100%.
Great historic hotel with updated charm. Happy hour drinks were phenomenal. Room was the size of an apartment. Great restaurants walking distance (especially the Robin).
This was one of the most charming places I've ever stayed. My family was doing a California roadtrip and stayed in the Rigdon House for one night, but everyone was wishing we could stick around for more. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean. The happy hour and firepit and breakfast just make this the perfect place for a few nights in central California.

Amazing free happy hour. Well-kept historic inn. Large rooms.
Amazing walkable location, super cute facility, with an amazing back patio and fire pit. Staff were AMAZING and the happy hour was a perfect break before walking to dinner. LOVED it!
Always a treat to stay at the lovely Rigdon House. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are spacious, and the happy hour and appetizers are an added bonus.
The staff is always helpful. The property has had a lot of nice renovations and upgrades. We’ve stayed about 5 times now. The only thing I wish they would consider is putting distance between bookings that have children and bookings that don’t.

Very charming place to stay. Great location and amenities.
Our stay was most enjoyable and your staff were very friendly and accommodating.
The paint was pealing on the ceiling above the shower, but everything else was well kept.
Also, the ghost was cordial and added flavor to the experience.
