First, let me say up front that we go to Jackson Rancheria for my wife to do a little gaming when we are in the area. Occasionally we add a nice dinner at the Wolf Restaurant into the bargain, but as a rule, it is only she who does the gaming while I get my steps in walking the grounds (always a pleasant experience. . Our experience has been good each time, and I can't recall my wife being hesitate to return, or being unhappy with anything about the place. Most recently we stopped by and I was expecting to sit and have a cocktail, but came on a day when they weren't available. A kindly security person directed me to an area with a soda fountain (gratis) and three TVs with a golf game playing. So I can add my vote that all interactions have been positive.

Came here for some BINGO. Place was nice. We were in a big room with a Complimentary drink bar with soda, coffee, and tea. Plenty of tables. The staff was friendly and helpful. This was our first time playing Bingo here. Our experience was good. I would come again, but it's too long of a drive.

18 and up..

Is the buffet closed permanently?

Looks like it. There is a wall where the buffet entrance was. That area now has slot machines.

Is the buffet open now, 7/27?

No buffet. That area is now a bingo hall.

Any update on the buffet , I've noticed some places that have buffets are opening and wondering if rancheria will be next?

I was at Jackson Rancheria recently and the buffet area is now walled off. It doesn't look like they will be reopening.

Yes the second level has designated spaces for electric vehicles

Is this a non Smoking casino?

People can smoke in the Casino, but there is a non-smoker section.

Can the kids use the pool if we don't stay over night at the hotel?

Pool is for hotel guest only and require a hotel room key to access , however you could try tipping the hotel concierge a 50 spot to get them in but an adult would need to be present to watch them

Do you have bingo ? Times?

No, we currently do not have Bingo.

If the Buffett opens at noon on Friday's is it easy to get in at that time?

on friday from noon to 10PM its Fishermans Wharf and getting in is Hit and Miss, sometimes no lines other times, people will be waiting in line starting at 11:30 , if it is a non holiday weekend you might have a great chance at getting in quickly.

Anyone know what is the menu for weekday lunch and dinner in Fisherman's Wharf Buffet? Or where can I found it? Just want to try out their weekday lunch/dinner.

Don't waste your time. The food is terrible. The slot machines paybacks are even worse. Can't wait for new casino. Bye, Bye, Jackson.

Seafood buffet on Sunday Feb 17, day before holiday. What time does it open and what time is suggested to be there for no or short wait time? I'm trying to plan my driving time. Thanks for your help.

Call the buffet for their recommendation they know best!!!

Where is the fire, rain, and cloud room located?

Located in the Hotel Resort - Meeting & Banquet Rooms

Are there any bus lines that run directly to Jackson Rancheria from the San Francisco/San Jose area?

Yes, here is a link and schedule and I think it is the same as listed above. http://www.thebaypartybus.com/english/jacksonr_flyer.html Invite you to Jackson Rancheria Casino… Read more

What is the wait time on Friday for the seafood buffet?

I've been there several times,it really depends on what time you are planning to go.when you're early then there's no wait time,usually on peak hours 20-30 min. If they are really busy,then you will be provided with a wait ticket.

I'm going to have lobster there ? Can we bring baby girls she is 1 yeas old? It's charge for kids?

Yes, we brought our three kids, including our 1 year old. They have high chairs.

How early should I be there to get the # for the lobster buffet if I want to dine in before 6 pm?

Most of the time in my experience I have gotten there about 2-2:30 for a seat sometime between 6-7pm.

Do they serve lobsters on sat and sundays?

Hi Johnny! We do serve lobsters on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays with our Fisherman's Wharf Buffet. You can find more information about our restaurants here:… Read more

National Hotel Jackson by Hilton, Jackson, CA…read more I'm staying here tonight in Jackson, California, at the National Hotel. It's an older motel-style property with a lot of history, and it shows in a charming, mixed-modern way. Historic charm + updated touches:** The hotel has kept its vintage character while updating as much as possible. You can really feel the history in the design, artifacts, and mirrored features spread throughout the building. The carpets are clean, I've walked on them with white socks and nothing is coming up or looking worn. Just one small smudge spotted, which isn't a big deal for me. Wi-Fi is Fast and reliable, which is great for staying connected for work. The front desk staff is amazing. Tamara, in particular, was kind, patient, and helped me check in my room smoothly. It's all-around excellent service. There are interesting artifacts and standout mirror features that add to the character of the place. Parking is across the street and you have to cross a small bridge. The parking is covered, which is nice, but the walk with luggage can be a pain for a solo traveler. I hoped for a larger bath to soak in, but the tub was quite small--barely fit. If soaking is important to you, this might be a disappointment. Some of the drawers are a bit beat up and hard to operate; they don't always slide smoothly back into place. Breakfast starts at 6:00 AM, which is rough if you need to be at work early (like me at 5 AM). A later start or grab-and-go option would be nicer for early-risers. Overall, I'd rate this place a solid 4 stars for the staff and the overall feel. It's a thoughtfully kept historic hotel that leans into its roots while still offering practical amenities like fast Wi‑Fi and clean rooms. If you're in Jackson for business or a short stay and can roll with the older-motel layout, you'll likely enjoy it. Tips for future guests It's old and creaky - light sleepers forget it. If you're solo and luggage-heavy, check in first and then grab a trolley. If soaking is important, you might want to set expectations for a standard tub rather than a soaking tub. If breakfast timing is critical for you, arrange a backup plan. Would I stay here again? Yes, for the staff, charm, and value. If you're drawn to historic hotels with character and solid service, this is a good pick in Jackson.

First, when checking in, I noticed that they immediately put us on the second floor so I asked if they had elevators to which the clerk said, "no" to which I said, oh, no ADA compliance? "To which he said "what's that?" (I can tell he will one day be a manager in the hospitality industry.) I said, "that is the law that assures access compliance for folks with limited mobility." To which he said, "we are historical" (right, from the 1980's perhaps, not the 1880's. I am thinking that some mention should be made of this deficit in the listing on Hotels.com. No offer to look for a downstairs room, just, that was it. Fortunately my mobility issues are not critical (yet), but my impression of this place, where I had stayed twice before, became more so. The place was reasonably quiet, and if you set aside the fact that all upstairs and downstairs doors to the halls were apparently open all the time (no security locking) and the guy blowing copious amounts of dope, which wafted down the halls from the staircase landing, everything was just peachy. The room was clean and well appointed though. The Denny's next door had gone out of business.

Upon going to my room, it was discovered someone's hair was all over the bathroom area floor. I wiped up what I could with the anti-bacterial wipes. The bathroom floor had dirt on it. The shower curtain when wet did not stay closed.... Both sides moved down to the center of the shower bar. Either the shower rod was installed poorly or it was damaged. The shower fixture was installed poorly and was sagging sideways. The bathroom door appeared to be an exterior door... The floor in the main room had some leftover stuff on the floor.... The mattresses were tired and saggy. The door to the room was dirty; I wiped it down with an anti-bacterial wipe. No cover on the door peep hole, so I stuffed wet tissue in the hole. The room was dark. One lone light bulb in the corner of the room.... The night stand light was constantly flickering.... There was a small bug on one of my pillows.... I noticed there was no scent from cleaning products. The last Best Western I stayed at, I smelled bleach. Not a great scent, but a scent someone would know where cleaning took place. The sheets and towels did not smell clean; they smelled with leftover odors. A couple of good things- the water pressure which was nice, and Brenda's professionalism and welcoming spirit. I could not check-out fast enough to get away from the dirty tired room. I do not recommend this Best Western. PS On a side note, some of the staying guests were smoking outside the areas where we would walk to get to our rooms, meaning the area between each building (A to B). Not enjoying the second hand smoke....

Each room at the inn (14 rooms total) are different. The website shows pictures of each room so I thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. I knew I did not want a swinging bed so we went with John's room. They tell you to park on the street and come to the front office to check in and then they show you where to park. On a Friday afternoon the street is pretty full and the spaces are very tight, but we did find a space. When you get to the house, there is no office or any place to go. You press the ring camera and someone walks from behind the house out to greet you. The gentleman walks you to your room and the key (on a large keychain) is hanging in the door. He walks you in and tells you a little bit about the room. In our case he showed us how to use the fire, the mini-split (Heating / HVAC) and where to park. The parking lot is behind the Inn and it is very small. It does not have 14 spaces, and if it is full you have to try and find parking in the alley. Because of this we decided not to move as we were able to park in the lot and we were scared to lose parking. When we took ourbags to the room, I realized that there is very little counter or storage space, not only in the room but in the bathroom as well. In the bathroom you have very little space to put your items. The "closet" that has no door is also very small. The head of the bed is about 4 feet from the toilet and you are looking right at it. The bathroom is pretty old and very pink. The towels are not very soft but the water did get hot pretty quickly. The bed itself is very uncomfortable. The mattress is very hard and every time one of you moves you both feel it. We did not sleep well either night. In this room, there was a mini keurig coffee machine and they provided coffee and creamers. There is also a small mini fridge. There are 2 chairs in front of the fireplace and a chair and small couch at the end of the bed. There are also a lot of books. With all of these things in the room, there is very little walking space and from the other side of the bed to get to the bathroom (especially in the dark) is like an obstacle course to not stub your toes or knees. The property is very quiet and there is an ice machine outside by the front lawn. However there is no breakfast or food available at the Inn. I really was hoping to have a great time, but by Saturday afternoon we were ready to leave. I just did not want to be there anymore. My husband convinced me to stay as we already had dinner reservations for that night, so we did. When you leave, you place the key outisde in the door handle and leave the property.

There is very little…read moreinformation about this location online and they don't have a website, so I had no idea what to expect when we arrived. All I knew is they were pet-friendly, affordable and in a convenient location. When we arrived, it was better than I had expected. The grounds are beautifully maintained. There are several outside spaces to relax or have a bite with your group, and each room comes with its own front patio area with a private bench. There is also a volleyball net, horseshoe pit, grill, spit and plenty of lawn to enjoy other activities. There is also a creek at the back of the complex, which unfortunately dries up this time of year but I can imagine is very relaxing when flowing. Our room came with a queen bed, table and 2 chairs, refrigerator, air conditioning, cable tv, private shower and bathroom, pantry, and plenty of drawers and shelves. The motel is clearly on the older side and has plenty of character and charm, but it also is a bit worn. As it was very clean, I wasn't bothered by the "antique" look. There was one small issue. Bugs. As it was about 100 degrees outside, there were several small bugs sneaking in the air conditioner. Again, we weren't really bothered by this as the bugs didn't bother us and we woke up the next day bite free. It must be noted that the owners of the Motel (which should change the sign on the side of the road to "Inn") were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had a small issue with our dog and the curtains, and they were more than understanding and appreciated the fact we alerted them and offered to pay for the damage. I would stay at this location again in a heartbeat. It was a wonderful experience. 4.5/5

I will say that I was very disappointed in this place from start to finish beginning with the check-in of my friend. We traveled into town for a special occasion and he happened to be checking in a day before me. I went with him so I could scope out the area and get familiar before I check in the following day, and I was honestly so disappointed. I made a comment to the front desk that I would be checking in the following day later in the night and asked if I could have a room that's relatively close to his for safety reasons, but the person checking him in said that all rooms were near each other since there's only 2 floors... For a place that has a sign that says if we need anything to feel more comfortable to let the front desk know the attitude and response of the front desk really threw me off. The room he was given was located on the first floor; once you opened the door the entire room smelled like mildew and cigarette smoke. We literally had to open the windows both in the room, and the bathroom, along with the front door and blasted the AC on to get some of the smell out. Well, this place does provide shampoo, conditioner, lotion, a bar of soap, and a toothbrush, please note that they do not provide body wash. The room does come with a mini fridge, but please be aware that if you sit at the little office desk that they have in the room, it might go down. I sat on it and was waiting for him and then it abruptly drop me down multiple times. I didn't get hurt, but I just think it's something people should be aware of just in case. There was some staining on the singular chair that was in the room, along with the bedsheets. The room I was given was on the second floor, which was a little bit better in terms of scent, but not much better as a whole. Keep in mind that there's no elevator here, but there is a staircase so if you have heavy luggage, plan accordingly. There was some staining on the wall, a black mark on the shower curtain, the bathtub was dirty, and the sink made weird noises when I was running the water to brush my teeth. I should also note that two of the towels that were in my room ready for use had small stains on them. There is a chair outside of each room on the first floor and every single door on first and second floor has an ashtray outside so just be aware that this place heavily smells like cigarette smoke. If you just need a place to get in and out this place will get it done for you... But if you're used to and prefer a little bit more comfort, try somewhere else. Breakfast is very limited and runs out very quickly.

The carpet had large stains, and there was even a worn/used sock left on the floor when I arrived (see photos). Even the bathroom toilet paper roll was almost used up when I checked in. On top of that, the furniture looked extremely worn out. The bed and sofa both looked old and noticeably sagging, which made the room feel run-down rather than comfortable. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this was not acceptable. The room felt dirty and poorly maintained, and I would not recommend staying here.
