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.

We didn’t read the fine print about the 6 pm check in time. We arrived after midnight. The proprietor was very kind and accommodating despite us having woken her up out of her sleep to check us in.

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

If you want to experience a Gold Rush Hotel, the American Inn is it! Authentic right down to the floorboards. The owner is super friendly and breakfast was world-class. I would definitely recommend staying here.
