Relaxing little spot
Conor was amazingly helpful despite our late arrival (nearly 1am) and the service was fantastic. Truly a great little hotel in a relaxing little town, also very close to what seems like a hundred vineyards.

Charming funky hotel staffed with kind wonderful people. With only a few rooms, we felt like we were treated like royalty. The facility shows the signs of its history, but it a beautiful way, showing the depth of history. It was quiet and soulful...I highly recommend it for a zen-like stay.

In spite of its creaky old floors, we loved this historic old hotel. Built in 1879, you are transported back in time to the Gold Rush. Although the hotel has been updated over the years, it is furnished in a style that is appropriate for the age of the hotel. It even has great wifi! The staff here was wonderful and we were served a delicious breakfast each morning. I highly recommend a stay at the Imperial Hotel and we would definitely stay here again.

Very good small but historic hotel in the quiet town of Amador City. Amador City is small but historic and well-situated for visiting the gold mining areas and the local wineries. Very and helpful staff. Very good restaurant for dinner with a great selection of local wines. Two breakfast options...hot or cold with hot breakfast varying each day.The hotel made us breakfast boxes when we had to leave early. Rooms were good size and comfortable with period furnishings. The hotel operates like a B&B in that there is no "front desk" but the staff were very helpful in answering any questions about local sites. Highly recommended, especially, given its economical rates.

Stop over on our way to hiking adventures. We were hoping to take in the town but most shops only open Thursday thru Sunday. Loved the bigger towels and history.

Comfy
The Imperial had the most comfortable bed and pillows I’ve ever slept in in a hotel. The place was clean, but a bit small. We had a king bed which took up almost the entire room. Breakfast was ready at the time we chose to eat breakfast. Never have I ever been able to tell the kitchen when I would be down for breakfast. That was a nice touch to this hotel!!

Couples weekend
I like it because it reminded me of the old west. Built in 1879. Just the basic necessities in the room. They had a nice bar, very good dinner menu and for breakfast they have either a hot or cold breakfast. The hot breakfast changes everyday. Nice little town with a great bakery.

Old historic hotel
Downstairs there is a bar and restaurant and outdoor eating and sitting areas in front and back. We stayed in Room 4 upstairs, the room is small but adequate. Painted wood floors, and antique furniture. At first we were scared that there was no air conditioning because it was over 100 degrees but there is a cooling system and ceiling fan, we were never uncomfortable. There is no TV but they have free WIFI. Breakfast was very good and comes with the room and they put out coffee in the hall before breakfast and we sat out on the balcony to have our coffee. We had dinner at the restaurant and that was also good.

Nice hotel but AC could have been better
Lovely hotel with lots of character. It was very warm when we stayed and the AC could not cope which made it difficult to sleep. Restaurant menu is ambitious but doesn't deliver on the promise.

Like going back in time
We loved our stay at the Imperial Hotel. We loved our room that was adjacent to the balcony. The rooms are cute and have such an antique rustic feel to them and the view of the small quaint town was so relaxing. The breakfast that comes with the room was very good! We will be back for a longer stay in the future.

Hotel Needs Maintenance and Cleaning
The good: Friendly accommodating staff. Good food in the house restaurant, on the lower end of the fine dining price scale. Good bar with friendly barkeeps. Locally popular. Interesting historical hotel. Beautiful grounds. The bad: This hotel needs maintenance and cleaning. Cobwebs throughout. Disrepair everywhere. Our room, #6, was falling apart. Moreover, the room was dark, dirty- brick dust (see picture) was on the ledge and floor for our 3-night stay, never cleaned. Lots of cobwebs and a couple of spiders. Worn out (not antique) broken furniture. Mold in the shower stall. Loose tile in the shower pan. There is little to do in Amador City, but lots close by.
Room needs a deep cleaning badly.

Beautiful Experience
We loved staying. We had dinner, hung out at the bar, sat on our balcony. It was beautiful. And the breakfast was amazing! The next night we stayed somewhere much ritzier, but the Imperial remained the highlight of the trip. I hope to be back.

Historic hotel with excellent restaurant
We enjoy staying in historic hotels because we love the old buildings and the history. This was comfortable, especially the king bed with smooth sheets. We took advantage of the restaurant on the main floor and were glad we did. The food was very good and staff were very helpful and friendly. We plan to stay there again.

Great place for a Destination Wedding!
We had 5 rooms books for a small family only wedding. It was better than excellent. It seemed like we had the whole hotel to ourselves. We timed it right and were able to have appetizers and champagne at the bar while we waited to have dinner before the other diners arrived... the food was excellent and the service and staff were even better. Maryanne the owner is helpful and a great host! We could not have planned it better.

Delightful Overnight After Winery Concert
Room well appointed with antiques, comfortable bathroom with basic modern amenities including a heated towel rack. Lots of exposed brickwork and wood accents, pretty embroidered quilt on the bed. Very quiet at night; excellent breakfast, nice outdoor balcony overlooking the 'downtown' shops (all 6-8 of them) while you sip complimentary coffee available in upstairs hallway. Good service. Very relaxing!

In a desert of bad comfort food this is an oasis
We absolutely loved our stay at the Imperial from start to end. The small town Amador city is so cute and you get the feeling of traveling back in time. Hotel is beautiful, well preserved but with modern touch, so if you enjoy the comforts of today but wants to experience old times then this is the place to go. Also if you appreciate really excellent service than you are also at the right place. It is one of the best experiences we had during our 2 weeks inCalifornia. We had dinner in their resto and omg, the food is delicious! The complementary breakfast is also great. We are so happy we booked this hotel

Great place nestled in Gold Country
I almost hate giving this place a good review because I'd like to keep it all to myself but I suppose I should share that it's lovely with the rest of the world. I spent a romantic birthday here with my boyfriend to get away from the city. The staff was friendly and great at answering questions. We stayed in room 6 which was nice and roomy with a little seating area. There was a big stain on the carpet that should be worked on or covered with a nice area rug (looked like a red wine incident) but very clean otherwise. The sheets were like butter and the mattress was comfy. The weather was nice so we enjoyed sleeping with the window open and waking up to the sound of birds chirping. The food was simple but good and the wine was delicious in the restaurant. For the price I can't complain and would totally stay here again.

Character creaking and charming
Old rustic historical hotel with character and charm. The staff is outstanding and the location is pleasant. The building is very old so don't expect fancy and modern. Enjoy the funky creaky hotel.

We`ve stayed here 3 times before this time. the other times were always very nice. this time though, the carpet had a large stain in the middle of the room. It made it feel dirty. the hair dryer didn`t work. someone had put kleenex in the air outlet. also, the room was too warm even with the ceiling fan on.we slept on top of the covers. Next time we visit the area, we will try staying somewhere else.
