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.

Breakfast was really delicious and the girl who cooked it for us was very sweet!! The room did have cobwebs and they didn’t provide any shampoo, conditioner, or soap, which would’ve been nice to know. Overall good stay.

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.

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.
