It's 11pm. Can't even get anybody on the phone. Office door is locked. Have been sitting here for almost an hour waiting for the office to open up or for someone to answer the phone. It's now 5pm. Office door has been locked all day. Nobody has been in the office. Nobody answering calls. How does this place even stay open? Is it the long term residences? How? How are the lights on in this place if they can't even answer a simple phone call? You drive up to this dump of a motel just for the employees no where to be found. Not one sign of an employee. Feel like I dodged a massive bullet with this one. Goodluck to anybody who needs to book a room here. 9.9999/10 nobody will even be there to do anything for a customer. read more

Tweakers, roaches, and bed bugs. Management is absolute garbage. Front office clerk. All I can say is if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Office is a dump. The owner should replace the staff with a fury. It's so disgusting how it's managed. If I were the owner, I'd be embarrassed of how this staff treats my locations. The fact that even operation care uses this dump for dv victims raises questions to how much they care. Broken door locks, door jam's from what looks to of been kicked in doors. If you have ever seen the movie the Ring. The bathrooms remind me of every scene from that movie. The fact they have the nerve to charge nearly the same rates as far better motels in the area. Check out those other hotels. Don't walk, RUN to those other motels. Your money is better spent, nicer staff, cleaner units. Really. Just don't even bother with this place. I honestly think the garbage in the dumpster next to the office could run this place better. read more

This place worked out well for my family, as they allow dogs, for a fee of $15 each per night. There were two double beds in my room, with a semi private twin bed in the back. This was also a big plus. My complaints: the room, with the dog fee, was $140. The room smelled musty and old. The bathroom was tiny, as was the shower. The sheets were all stained, and the blankets / bed coverings were not clean. The towels were thin and rough. The room had thick brown shag carpeting. The wifi was so spotty as to render it useless. No, I wouldn't stay here again. Not for those prices anyway. Its a cute place, and the staff is friendly. The owners are new, and there is no coffee or muffins as advertised. read more

It breaks my heart to be the first review and to give it a deuce. Yes, it was the cheapest place I could find when I elected to stay over the weekend to play catch-up at my pharmacy internship at Sutter Amador Hospital down the street. And really, the staff, devout Catholics, are sweethearts who treated me with a lot of respect (they must have thought I was a doctor when i arrived in my white coat to check in). It's just that the place is direly in need of renovation and general amenities reform. It's not fair to charge $76 a night for....that. The bedding's cleanliness was more than questionable as there were visible bleach stains on the comforter. Austerely starched sheets. Fabric softener should help with that. My room had a funny smell. Why shouldn't it? It seemed like cigarette smoke from 1979 had still left an imprint of its odor on the curtains. However, it did the job, and if I had to stay here again, and I was by myself, I would do it. Why? Because it's cheap. But I repeat, I would not bring a companion here in a million years. Rough it here if you need a place to be unconscious overnight in Jackson. read more

Our company had an issue with one of the bills, and Marje was extremely helpful and apologetic. She was such a nice person, and I was very appreciative of her concern. Highly Recommended. read more

To give a little backstory on my situation, I organize a local annual event with up to 100 participants and this year was our 36th year. Every year, months in advance, I call the Linda Vista and make reservations for myself and several other people who help organize the event. The Lnda Vista has always been great because they're close in proximity to the event site, have reasonably priced rooms, and a great location to barbecue. This year, like all of the others, I called 3 months in advance to book my room. It took nearly a week to get a hold of someone. I left voicemails and even contacted another local hotel to see if the Linda Vista was still in business (they've always been so great, we didn't want to switch locations). About a week after I originally called, I finally was able to speak with someone. As usual, I requested to make my reservation in advance. The gentleman I spoke with was happy to accommodate us and even assured me that their BBQ gas grill was available for use. Here's where things got interesting... He did not want to take any kind of payment for the room. No deposit, no credit card to hold, just my word. I went back and forth for a bit with him, but he assured me they were happy to have our group, especially since we'd be bringing them so much business. Well, three months or so go by and it's the weekend of the event. I head in to the office on Friday to check in. The office already has a couple of customers waiting, one of which is being told there are no rooms available. I get to the counter and let them know that I have a reservation. I am greeted with a blank stare and told that they don't have anyone with a reservation. He checks anyway and again, I'm told there are no room and that I have no reservation. The man then walks away from the counter without saying a word and leaves me standing there. Several other of my supporting staff had issues as well. Some charged for a night even though they weren't given a room, some told that there wasn't a room only to find out another person behind them was able to get one. It also seems that there are several long-term "residents" staying here now, one of which has 10 small dogs living in the room with him. I would just say to use extreme caution when booking a room at this location. When I have been able to obtain a room in the past, the rooms are not updated and smell of smoke (yes, even the "non-smoking" ones). If you do decide to book a room, make sure to check your bank statements (several people also had issues with overcharging too). If you need another option, I went across the street to El Campo Casa Motel, and they were quite pleasant. read more

We had a reservation here but after seeing the mess of the front desk asked to see our room. Even though it was non smoking room it reeked of dirty ashtrays. The carpeting looked very old and unclean as did the bedding. The owner said we would never find another room on this busy weekend but we had no problem finding a nice clean room at the Amador Best Western just a little bit down the road for only $10 more. read more

We had open reservation at Linda's. We went to check out a no smoking room. The room smelled of smoke and owner insisted it was a no smoking room. The room did not look clean. read more

Love this place! Beautiful views and nice, friendly and helpful staff. The room was freshly painted and clean. Will visit again.

Motel is nice clean and inexpensive. The staff are nice and very helpful. I will definitely stay again.

Second time to stay there a over Valentines Day with my wife. We also stayed there a few years ago with a few others when we were on the Harley's. The couple that own this are the greatest folks, clean rooms, comfortable bed, great service, easy parking. You will not have any problem with the motel unless you are the most picky person. I was told that it has been sold and will have a change of ownership in a few months, and the new owners sound like they will keep the standards up. The only thing about Jackson is the police, keep your eyes on the speed limit all around this area, both times I have stayed in this area I see police from many towns around Hwy 49 pulling drivers over all over the place. read more

What a wonderful place to stay!!! Our room was huge with two queen beds, a table, two swivel chairs, a dresser, large mirror, flat screen TV, alarm clock, microwave, refrigerator, hair dryer. The place was very clean and Marje is so sweet and in the mornings there is coffee & donuts or muffins in the office. There is a pool. Pets are welcome. Free Wifi. Convenient to Jackson, Sutter Creek, Martell. Would I stay again? ABSOLUTELY! We loved it!!! read more

My Husband & I are vendors @ local (Jackson, Valley Springs & Diamond Springs) Farmers Markets, the 1st time we stayed there we were so pleased with our room and the fact that its so comfortable! We refer to Linda Vista as our home away from home & fully enjoy seeing & interacting with Marje. She is so amazing, she is wonderful with children (I have a tween Daughter), Marje is very accommodating with us as sometimes we have a late arrival. She is always super friendly, and for all of us it feels like our home away from home when we are there. Only 2 small issues for us is that we wished the pool was heated and that the cable line up was a little fuller :-) read more

I would give zero stars if I could. We showed up on a Saturday after booking a month in advance and were told the reservation was not in the system but that we could return the following night. We returned (after spending a lot of money on a last minute reservations elsewhere) just to be notified that they cancelled our reservation because we had not shown up before 5:30pm. Fortunately, they said a room was still open; however, they placed us in a smoking room that smelled like an ashtray without warning us and after having us sign their non-smoking policy. Throughout the process they seemed to care little about inconveniencing us and seemed to care a lot about short term profit. We were with a group that had been staying at the Linda Vista yearly and several group members had similarly terrible experiences. Stay elsewhere. read more

I am in my room right now as I write this review... I called a few days ago and was taken care of very nicely by 'Marje'. I arrive late yesterday afternoon and again was taken care of so well! The room is large with fridge, microwave, tv etc... I am a smoker and they actuall have smoking rooms and I have to say, no sign of smoking and almost felt guilty to smoke in the room. I am staying in the older portion of the motel with my 9 year old dog and she is right at home too! I just got back from a chat with Marje and grabing coffee/muffin. I am planning on moving to the area and she gave me a paper with the employement/rentals with some circled! She is a doll... the place is clean and very quiet.... will be suggesting this place to friends when I move here so they can stay here too! If I need to stay again before my move, it will be here!!! thanks to Marje, I feel very welcome!! read more

"Marje" was helpful and kind from start to finish. She helped accommodate my late arrival, and gave good restaurant suggestions. Clean, quiet place. I really appreciated having a fridge and a microwave in the room, too - great for the restaurant leftovers :) read more

Well I have stayed at this motel almost every year for a weekend in fall since 2009, I believe. It changed hands a few years ago and has really gone down hill since and I won't be coming back. The hotel is looking run down, smells of cigarette smoke, and management is either completely dishonest or incompetent. The breaking point this year was I had made reservations in advanced for a one night stay on a Saturday and given them a credit card to hold it. When we showed up, they said we were a no show for the night before and they had sold our room. We didn't have a reservations for the night before so it didn't make sense. They had no other rooms available they said. So we went back to our car and were calling nearby hotels right there in the parking lot. Unfortunately all the hotels were full, I guess there was festivals going on in nearby Sutter Creek. When we called one, Best Western I think, they said "No we don't have a room but Linda Vista just called and said they had three!". I asked when they had called and the man said less then 5 minutes ago. We had been calling in the car for at least 10 minutes, so that makes us think they dumped us to get a higher price for the room. The funny thing is I never asked the price for the room, as it had always been right around $84 bucks in the past. And I checked my credit card statement yesterday and they had charged me for a room on Saturday! For over $100 too! I am disputing the charge and have called the motel to see if they will correct it. Besides this bad treatment, the place is looking pretty run down. The lobby had a sign that said no smoking hotel, yet the lobby reeked of smoke. And according to some of our friends, (we were part of a large group) most of the rooms smelled of smoke. Two other friends in our group also had their reservations screwed up and were not happy. I believe the whole group of us (about 8-10 rooms) will not be coming back anymore. read more

Great place to stay. Good location, park right in front of you room, friendly staff, very economical. We were moving CAN AMs to Hawaii and stumbled on this motel. Would make it a point to stop there if in the area again. read more

I paid to stay here but ended up staying elsewhere, due to the fact that the room that I was going to stay in, smelled musty and dirty. The manager or lobby attendant by the name of Terry would not reverse the charge back to my card because housekeeping told Terry that the bed had been "messed up". This allegation is not true. I was literally in the room for about 5 minutes and could not stand the stench I also came to find out that the heater is controlled by the front desk people. I do not recommend this motel. read more
