If you’re visiting Georgetown for its history, the American River Hotel is the perfect place to stay. A stunning building, with an interior to match. Every room is unique and charming. The owner/innkeeper and his mother are truly gracious hosts.

The street in front of the property had noisy motorcycle and pickup truck traffic until late, and the bar down the street had music audible in our room. Be aware that you will have to decide whether to put cash in the envelope labeled "for your generosity", without knowing who will get the cash and how much those people are paid. I realize that after-the-price-negotiations requests for more money are becoming almost ubiquitous, so this hotel is not alone, but customers prefer to pay before they come and then not be panhandled for more.

Disappointed

Two stars because set breakfast was mother's home-cooking, with two sweet hired girls serving 5 tables. One star otherwise. Hoping this would be the nicest stay of 8 accommodations in our 3 weeks in California, I was sorely disappointed. It was the worst; with later insult added to injury. First indication was the cracked glass in the front door; then small sign at owner's desk advising a currently non-functioning hot tub. Owner described the several restaurants in the small town. Not much else open. He suggested a walk for activity which we did take, discovering little activity in the town. Our room was a sad surprise, a mishmash of furniture, lighting, kitchen sink, but no refrigerator, a bath tub within the room, a separate compartment with toilet and sink. A renovated bathroom with shower was excellent, but across a hallway. As to lighting, the lights adjacent to bed were too dim to see for reading. The table lamp was difficult to use, the wardrobe in corner was too dark to use, had no hangers, and would not hold my suitcase which thus had to be placed on the table. Similar lighting problems at other side of room. The worst of the room was the stand-alone roaring air conditioner, over which the road roar of accelerating loud trucks and cars went on 'til toward 10 or 11 pm, indicating life speeds past this town. I early discovered that the door from the room onto the veranda actually could be opened, however there was no sitting furniture on the dirty porch. Later in the

The American River Inn is a cute old hotel located in Georgetown, CA. Established in 1853 if definitely has CA Gold Rush credentials. I loved the place and just generally love this sort of walk back in time cute and classy hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the atmosphere charming. If you are going to stay in the CA Gold Country do things right and stay at the American River Inn in the heart of historic Georgetown.

Georgetown Jewel

This is a jewel we found for a birthday trip for my wife. It was like stepping into a piece of history. The decor was amazing. There was a sitting room downstairs where the hosts provided a wine and cheese reception. Breakfast at the big table in the morning was amazing. The room was comfortable and perfect for us. The staff was extremely friendly.

Needs some upkeep

The place can really use some maintenance and upkeep. Broken screens and torn curtains need immediate attention. The bathroom fan was horribly noisy.
