We were bummed that the Hot Tube wasn't working. But other then that, all expectations were met. The Inn was well decorated. We enjoyed some time in the yard. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

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.

This is a gem of a historical building, located in a quaint and friendly gold rush town, that still features many authentic buildings from the 1850’s. The hotel is charming, and the owner and staff are very welcoming

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.

We liked the old fashioned décor
The floors squeaked so loud when one of us got up to use the bathroom, which was located in the hall, it woke up the person sleeping.
