Overall ok, not great

Staff was friendly for sure, and breakfast was good, freshly made. The house had great charm, I appreciate the antiquity of it, the architecture. However, there are things that could be modernized, like the locks on the rooms and bathrooms. 2 of the 3 rooms I booked had increasingly uncomfortable and squeaky beds, no Kleenex in the rooms, the main bathroom we used had nothing to dry our hands after washing them. While the bedrooms were very hot, the hallways and main part of the B&B was freezing.

Decent place, beautiful building

Emailed through their website and through hotels.com, but never got a response. Ended up changing my plans to arrive within the three hour check in. Nothing noted about how to get into the building, ended up having to look up the number and call. This was during check in hours. Staff was helpful, hotel was as expected for an older Victorian. Hot tub was very nice, but make sure you bring your key, or you will be locked out hoping a guest will let you back in.

Great historical stay

Great historical stay with many interesting pieces inside. Staff was great and accommodating. Some slight disrepair in the bathroom, and the enclosed yard, which could be very enjoyable, was not well maintained, so did not present an environment to relax outside. Still a great and unique stay that harkens back to the old bed and breakfast.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort

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.
