This place is under new ownership, presumably the same as the tribe opening the casino right next door. Booked through Expedia with the ruse of there being a continental breakfast but nope, supposedly that hasn't started back up since the new owners took over. So take it off booking websites for the time being. It's false advertisement, some people book based of amenities like free breakfast, not a good look for someone trying to rebrand. read more

Changed hands last week. Now Acorn Ridge. Don't recommend it!! Keys to room wouldn't work, TV doesn't work unless you sign into your own accounts. No coffee pods. No tissue. Higher room rate at check in. No hangers and apparently they don't provide them but our friends room did have hangers. And girl at front desk with attitude. Don't stay here!! We never will stay here again. read more

First, this hotel is no longer called Shenandoah Inn, although their online website still states this. The sign infront says Oak Ridge Inn". There is signage for a casino, which is not yet built. The only plus for this hotel was the room was clean. The bad: don't believe any third party website that says breakfast is included. There is no breakfast. There is no coffee in the lobby, but there is small bottles of water you can ask for. The room contains a wardrobe closet with a small refrigerator and microwave, along with a Kuerig coffee maker, but no coffee cups or condiments. There is a door to a "fitness room", but door does not open and apparently it doesn't exist. Our shower didn't work. When I called the front desk, no one answered, so we did a sponge bath. I walked down later on our way out for the day the front desk staff was back. When I told him about the shower, he asked if we wanted to change rooms. No, we already unpacked and bathed. He said tomorrow we could be let into the room next door to shower.... The next day I called to be let into the next door room to use the shower, the FD staff didn't know what I was talking about and there were no notes left from yesterday's staff. Along with that, the only room available was 7 doors down. So we had to shlep all our shower stuff down there in the morning heat. This hotel has some work to do if they plan to attract customers; as if now I would recommend staying in Placerville or Cameron Park, or anywhere else! read more

This has been a go to stay when visiting Amador and El Dorado county wineries. It's a good location and a decent place to stay. The owner is incredibly nice and friendly and a military veteran. This is a huge bonus for us as a military family. I have been staying here for 10+ years. Each time we come things are a little more expensive and a little more lack luster. This trip the ice machine is broken so we couldn't ice our wine and could not fill our water bottles. The complimentary toiletries are in tiny individual packages like ketchup packets. The "body" lotion is barley enough for your hands. I bring my own shampoo and conditioner always because I have very thick long hair. So, I know that hotels can't accommodate that. However, this style of packet shampoo would be hard for anyone with hair longer than their ears to do a full wash. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast is a bunch of processed and prepackaged food. That's ok for most but I don't eat much sugar or processed foods. So the only thing available I would eat was prepackaged precooked hard boiled eggs. At least it was protein. Lastly, the water would not get even warm in the morning to wash my face. Thankfully I didn't need to shower. It seems they have run out of hot water when all guests shower in the mornings. Not the end of the world but definitely inconvenient when paying $230 a night for a room. One thing that is complicated is booking. The hotel does not have a website. The online booking is through TripAdvisor I think. The owner prefers to have customers call. I found that the online price is about $50 less than the call in rate. That is frustrating as we had a mishap in our most recent booking so we got the on the spot rate which was higher than the TripAdvisor website rate. Oh well we were already here and needed to check in. Overall this is a lovely hotel. I like the area and the owners are very nice. It's reliable and the rooms are well appointed. But there are other options in the area that are closer to wineries, have better breakfast, and have more luxuries that are expected when paying $230 per night for a room. read more

Hello there, My family and I discovered this lovely place on our way to Tahoe, and we were so impressed! Marie at the front desk was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to make our stay special. An absolute doll! The room was spotless, and the view from our window was stunning. While it may not be the fanciest place, it's perfect if you're looking for a clean, comfortable stay with friendly staff, complimentary breakfast, and good A/C. I highly recommend booking here! I also have to mention the thoughtful amenities: complimentary toothbrushes, coffee, tea bags, toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner in your room. If you need more, the front desk is happy to help. For those with long hair like mine, you might want to stop by the Walmart 15 minutes away for travel-size shampoo and conditioner, and maybe a bigger toothpaste. The front desk kindly offered me extra shampoo packets, but I didn't want to fuss with opening a bunch of them. read more

Tucked at the south end of Plymouth, this can be a great home base for a weekend of wine tasting in the area. I stayed here years ago just as they had begun to remodel the rooms. Enjoyed it then, still like them. We recently used a double queen. We had plenty of space. The room was clean with simple decor. Beds comfy with crisp linens. The fridge had a couple of waters and peppermint patties. Wine glasses and a corkscrew were also in the room. The bathroom was equally clean with plenty of towels. The hotel even provides shampoo, soap, toothpaste, razor and shaving cream. Behind the office is a great small pool area with hot tub. Large towels are provided at the pool. Management does ask to be out of the pool area by 10 am, there are several rooms that look onto the pool. A light continental breakfast is served in the lobby starting at 7 am. Plenty of parking. If you are wine tasting/ shopping, ask for a ground floor when making your reservation. Never keep wine in your car when the temperature is over 75 degrees, and carrying it up the stairs can be heavy. read more

Pros - Clean, big room, nice view of the pasture and cows from our room. Cons - Hardest bed ever, completely uncomfortable. Cigarette smokers near the office (I think they were employees) and smoke drifting down to our room. Costly for the area, can't find any food after 8pm and nothing hardly open on Sunday. read more

I'm giving this place 3 stars instead of 1 because the woman at the front desk (and other man that wasn't Ken) were extremely lovely and friendly. With that being said, Ken was extremely rude to us and very grumpy. Maybe not the best role for him if he doesn't enjoy being around the public. The woman at the front, I sadly forget her name, was very sweet and tried to make up for Ken's rudeness. The hot tub was disgusting and filthy! After one use, my body was covered in literal dirt. I wore a one piece in the pool and after underdressing I was horrified to see how much dirt was on my body. The rooms were fine and we had a nice view of the cows and greenery though. read more

Visited family over the weekend and stayed at this place. Other than the roaches in the room, rowdy neighbors, and some inappropriate comments from the owner; it was okay. The A/C worked good. Beds were hard and the TV hardly worked. It's not the worst. But it's also definitely not worth the rates they charge. If you have kids or want a quiet weekend to yourself: do not stay here. read more

The view was amazing and a total surprise So I'm giving an extra star for that. The view included rolling hills and lots of cows. The room was big. Staff was professional and friendly. They let us check in early. They include a lot of little extras in the room such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shoe polish wipes, cleansing cloths for the face. The room also includes a hairdryer, mini fridge, a full-size ironing board, an iron, corkscrew, two wine glasses. There is also a flatscreen TV with satellite and free Wi-Fi that works pretty well. They were completely dog friendly and only charged $25 for the dog fee but only a few rooms are designated dog friendly, so definitely call ahead to reserve a dog room. Our dog is a pitbull and we often encounter breed discrimination but they were welcoming and loving to her. The stay includes a continental breakfast with a variety of toast options, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs and coffee. Unfortunately the weather was cold so we didn't use the pool. Manager said the pool is unheated and spa is 98 degrees but that he can get it to 104 if we wanted. There is a Mexican restaurant, donut shop and grocery store within walking distance. But you'll have a short drive to the little downtown and to wineries. read more

We stayed there right after Christmas when our power was out for 5 days! They could not have been nicer or more accommodating! Great open grass area for pets. When I couldn't figure out the TV, he immediately came to our room and showed us how to us it. Rooms were clean and had a great view of the mountains and valley. Great proximity to all the wineries. Highly recommend! A++++++ read more

While I hoped to have a beautiful weekend, nothing about this inn lived up to even a basic hotel level. First, it looks like a Motel 6 that was repainted to be an Inn. Everything about it is at the Motel 6 level. Pros-- Close to Murieta Equestrian Center. Ample Parking. Cons--- It is beyond Basic. Our room had huge gaps around the baseboard, so we saw a number of very large critters in our room, including pretty large (6"+) caterpillars. The walls are Motel 6 thin- and you can hear everything. The breakfast was a joke. It was a piece of fresh fruit, and coffee/hot chocolate. The staff was suspicious of everyone. They walked in and didn't ever say hello-- just asked me for my name, and credit card. Not friendly. I came back later to ask if I could take a hot chocolate packet for my daughter back in my room (it was sitting on the counter and I didn't need to ask but did as a courtesy). You would have thought I asked for a diamond-encrusted watch with her look and reply. She agreed begrudgingly. The pool wasn't clean, was really cold, and in poor shape. Despite being a peak weekend at the nearby center, this inn was barely occupied. Very deserted which wasn't ideal for a woman and her small child traveling alone. The area could be more pretty and walkable. 10 mins away is much nicer. It seemed moldy or dusty in corners- but the main surfaces were clean. It is a budget hotel at Inn/resort prices. I wouldn't suggest anyone stay here despite seeing all the positive reviews. I don't know where they stayed but it wasn't at the Shenandoah Inn. Save your $. read more

Brought a group here, a block of 16 rooms. First of all, the management was very easy to work with. This hotel has a great location, essentially dead center in gold country, halfway between Nevada City and Sonora. Each room is clean, spacious and comfortable, and they have great views as well. My suggestion is that you bring your own soap and shampoo, or that the hotel could up it's game a little in this area. Definitely recommend if you are here to explore all this area has to offer. read more

I have stayed here twice. Both experiences were exceptional. First trip, we left behind valuables and realized it after arriving back home. Made a quick call and found out that the housecleaning guy had found it and was being safely kept. He asked if we wanted it returned via the mail and I chose to go pick it up so I could shake his hand! Thank you again Paul for your integrity! Second trip went off without a hitch. We upgraded to the suite with a jacuzzi. That room was awesome. Jacuzzi was beyond relaxing. I'm 6'1" and the tub fit my wife and I no problem! Kenny made us feel at home! Thank you for the great experience! read more

Decent place but it's absolutely insulting that for the price they are charging that they are lying to customers about imaginary covid guidelines in Amador in late summer 2022 as a reason why they can't serve a real breakfast. Sorry folks, even though the guidelines don't exist we are forbidden to serve fresh fruit/bread/breakfast meat or anything resembling a meal, please select from a wicker basket of nutrigrain bars. How can you trust a hotel, even a independent hotel, that brazenly lies to their guests this way? read more

A friendly inn with an updated, slightly modern vibe situated in the Shenandoah Valley/Gold Country, minutes away from Amador County wineries and list-topping culinary destination Taste. From the outside it could pass for any generic, small town motel along the highway but inside the rooms are really quite refreshing, spacious (including bathroom), tidy and have a contemporary feel to them. Oh, and most rooms feature a lovely scenic eastern view of the Sierra foothills, you might even spy some cows grazing just out your window as we did...found it strangely relaxing. From booking the room via front office mgr Marie to the housekeeping staff to a chit chat with the owner about cars, they have a hospitable staff eager to make your stay comfortable & enjoyable. The 2 most notable features for the location are it's proximity to nearby wineries and the Restaurant Taste....both experiences are highly recommended! Other highlights... + Excellent value: less than $125 (discounts for multiple night stays) + Lovely back deck w/pool & hot tub + Decent continental breakfast included + Dish TV w/high def + Microwave & refrigerator in room + Next door to a Mexican restaurant + 5 mins to Taste, wineries & Dry Town Bar + Close to other Gold Country destinations: Volcano, Sutter Creek, Black Chasm + Seems to be a popular spot for wedding parties + Free in-room wifi w/ adequate bandwidth read more

The best hotel in the area! The Inn has 46 spacious guest rooms each with a large picture framed window of the magnificent oak trees and rolling hills which are indigenous to the area. We stayed here a few nights to attend a wedding. I didn't realize there were over 40 wineries in this area (known primarily for Zinfandel wines). In fact, Shenandoah has arrangements with quite of few wineries where if you mention that you are staying at the Inn, they waive the tasting fee (what? free wine tasting?). The Inn has pool and spa area (but note, spa is closed after 10:00 pm). All the rooms are newly remodeled and equipped with a clock radio, coffee maker, HD 35" flat screen TV with satellite, in-room climate control, high-speed internet and direct dial telephones (who still uses direct dial telephones?). All of their rooms include a microwave, refrigerator, iron, ironing board with hairdryer as well as upgraded amenities. They have a number of designated rooms available to pets (yes!, pet friendly!). They offer a complimentary continental breakfast. read more

I stay in hotels all over the Southwestern US, usually about 4 nights per week. When works takes me into Gold Country, there's nowhere else I'll stay! The Shenandoah Inn is a clean, quiet and beautifully maintained hotel. The room is spacious and the view of the rolling hills is relaxing, reminding me of the rural area where I grew up. The owner, Ken, has always been warm and kind as I come in, and he remembered me after just one stay. He and his wife clearly take pride in their hotel, and it shows in every aspect of my stay there. Highly recommend! read more

Their jacuzzi turned my hair bright green! Like, insane green. That has never ever happened to me before. And I've used a lot of jacuzzis! When I informed someone at the front desk, the response was "it'll come out in a couple days." We stayed there Sunday and it's Tuesday and my hair is still bright green despite repeated washing with specialty shampoo. That level of chlorine cannot be safe! I was surprised by the lack of concern. read more

The new and much improved Shenandoah Inn is exactly the sort of economical stopover that visitors to gold country need. Whether you're visiting the county fair, exploring historic sites or sleeping off a bender after a day in wine country, they've got something for everyone. This place used to look a little ragged, but a recent renovation showcases the rooms, the small pool and the great hilltop view. It's a step above your standard Holiday Inn and more affordable than some of the boutique bed and breakfasts. This place is tops on the list of hotels that we'll be suggesting to guests of our wedding next Spring. I suggest you stay a night or three and see what I'm fussing about! read more

I had a good and bad experience with this hotel. I got married May 30 in the area and we reserved a room block back in September. Ken told me in person that any rooms not booked would be released 60 days before the wedding(March 30). Ken called on March 1st to say the rooms were being released. When we went in we asked about it and he said that they always release rooms 90 days before an event and since he has another wedding block the same weekend he can't hold our rooms any longer since he has nothing to offer to the public. We let it go but then we heard from some of our guests that when called they were asked which wedding party for that weekend they were with since one of the wedding's room block(ours) had been released but one of the weddings still had rooms available? So don't tell me it is your policy to release rooms 90 days out if you aren't going to do it for everyone. We also had an incident with my in laws. They actually live about 30 minutes away but reserved a room for the Friday before the wedding only to have a place to get ready in between the wedding setup and the rehearsal dinner. When they arrived to check in they waited 40 minutes to check in, only to find the room wasn't ready and after waiting another hour they just got ready in someone else's room and never even used the room they paid for. As for the actual hotel, the rooms are large, nice and well air conditioned. The guests who were able to stay here enjoyed it and the pool was a nice bonus. read more

I'm giving this place only two stars because of it's creepy factor. Hmmmm. Where to start. BF and I on a spontaneous road trip with dog so I called this place three times at 9:30 a.m. to see if they had availability for that evening. No answer. Just rang and rang and rang. Ok - so BF makes reservation online. King bed, non-smoking room. Indicates we have a pet. No problem. Fast forward about 3 hours. We're on some windy-ass barfy road. BF says "why don't you try calling the hotel and make sure they got our reservation." Guy picks up and I inquire about our reservation. "Oh, it's a good thing you called; sometimes we don't check those [the online reservations] until the next day." Then, "oh if you have a pet you can't have a king room; we only have certain rooms for people with pets and they have 2 queens in them; oh and they're more expensive." Grrrrr..... Strike one. To be fair, when we arrived, BF went in and talked to the guy and he agreed to reduce the rate to what it would have been for the king room we reserved online. He said it was a "family owned and operated place and there were too many chiefs and not enough Indians." I get it. What struck me as odd as we made our way to our room (all the doors faced the parking lot) was the number of doors that were open. Probably 70% of the room doors were wide open. Weird. Room was clean. Had a fridge and microwave and a large flat screen TV with a gazillion channels. Mini York Peppermint Patties on the pillows. Nice. We were near the end of the building on the lower level. I took the dog past the one remaining room (door open) to the scrappy field beyond for a potty break. I glanced in the open door (yes I'm a snoop) and OMG - the place looked like a reject from the show Hoarders. Filthy, garbage and stuff piled everywhere and centerfolds pinned up all over the walls. Strike two, not to mention totally creepy. After we checked in we left to go explore the nearby towns (see my review of Buffalo Chips restaurant in Amador City - best burger I've ever had) and we literally left NOTHING in the room - took all our stuff with us. That place creeped both of us out. When we returned (about 6:00 p.m.) there were STILL a bunch of room doors open - WTH? BF went the next morning to get coffee and "continental breakfast." Brought back the nastiest coffee I've ever tasted and three Nutri-Grain bars. Really? Overall, it was clean, which I guess is something. If it had been dirty - we would have been outta there. I didn't sleep well and even the dog seemed creeped out. Keep driving.... read more

We made last minute plans to see Joni Harms sing at Scofield's Cowboy Campfire -- once we confirmed those tickets we chose Shenandoah Inn, principally because we expected to bring our two dogs with us, and Ken was able to shuffle things around to set us up with a pet-friendly room. The price was fair (we've paid more elsewhere) for the dogs, and we were set. Since we know at least one of our dogs would bark in the room, and since staying in our car during the Campfire was not an option, we chose not to bring them with us. Ken adjusted our cost to reflect the last-minute change of plans -- something we did not expect and indeed told him wasn't necessary. Yehs: The room was comfortable (two queen beds, which work for us), very comfy, very clean, and everything worked well. Located off the main road but still easy to find and convenient. The windows look out onto rolling hills and we regretted that there was no full moon to enjoy. Mehs: We were on the first floor and the room above us was evidently occupied by elephants intent on running a marathon in their room. We spotted some ants in the room, but no colonies (ants are to be expected in drought areas, under the circumstances). While the "continental breakfast" wasn't quite as elaborate as I would have liked, it was adequate. All in all, it was a good place to stay, and far better than we anticipated, given the last minute decision. Oh, and Joni Harms was spectacular! read more

My interaction with Ken, the manager of the Shenandoah Inn, was one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in my life. In the first week of November 2017, my then fiancée and I booked a winery in Plymouth for our wedding on 09/15/18. While we were looking for accommodations, we came across the Shenandoah Inn and contacted Ken, the manager. We chatted on the phone for the while, shared some good conversation and I learned about his background in law enforcement as I also work in public safety. He informed us that there was a barbera festival that day, so he already expected many visitors that day which is totally understandable, but there were other weekends available. He stated we could get the entire hotel booked (about 44 rooms) for with a AAA discount at a reasonable rate for 1 night with no deposit on the rooms. This sounded perfect as we were planning on having a large group for our wedding at the nearby winery. This was at the early stages of our wedding process, so we were considering changing the date of our wedding in order to have the majority of our accommodations covered. Ken confirmed that September 29th, 2018 was open (although his computer did not allow him to make reservations yet greater than 10 months out), and told us to call back in two weeks on 11/29/17. I was slightly hesitant to change the date of our wedding, but the thought of allowing all our guests to be under one roof was reason enough to do so. We pulled the trigger, moved the wedding date back and trusted Ken to follow through with his word. I called him back at the date he instructed me to do so, on the minute the hotel opened and informed him of the reason I was calling and his terms of our stay. He appeared surprised by the phone call, and when I asked him directly if he was going to honor what he told me, he said "yeah, that's not going to happen." I could not believe it. I was beyond frustrated, but kept my cool on the phone. He would not back down, and we "compromised" on ten rooms (5 queen and 5 king), 2 night minimum, full price (this part I'm not 100% on, but I believe it was 169 for 2 queens and 179 for 1 king- may be vice versa) paid upfront. He told me the bill and I was hesitant but agreed. I asked him for a receipt, he texted me a picture of the printout and my card was charged for $1,924.90, more than the price he discussed with me. I called back 5 min after the reservation and he said the price he told me about didn't include tax, I know this may be silly but I had had enough at this point and said, "you know what, just cancel all the rooms", which he promptly did. I did not want any of my guests to give this establishment any money. Instead, we reserved 2 large shuttles to transport people to and from Sacramento, closer to the majority of our guests' homes. I never write negative reviews, but I feel like this story needed to be shared. We still had a wonderful wedding, the guests had a blast, and it was everything we could have wanted. read more

Shenandoah Inn - Statement showing the date/price for the returned rooms. - Hotels Near Me - Plymouth, California

From check in to check out, we were treated so nice by the front desk guy, that he needs a special head nod and a wink for being so customer oriented. *nods...winks* Our room was hella hot upon arrival but, quickly cooled off with the A/C on blast. The window looked out upon a meadow in back.. or a valley.. or just dry grass. Whatever the heck it was, no one was behind the hotel to see you walking around nekkid in your room. The bed seemed too firm at first, but to sleep on it was divine...We slept well and the pillows were extremely puffy..I literally had to use 1, when normally, I'm a 2-3 pillow kinda gal. We had room 219, which was a damned good room with upgrades to the TV, carpet and decor. I could see some of the rooms on the 1st floor had shaggy carpet and that's just gross. There was a sign in the bathroom warning cowboys which towels to use to clean their boots. I cannot believe I forgot to get a photo of that because I've never seen such a sign. Where the hell are we?! Texas? I cannot say enough about that turbo air conditioner. Our room stayed at about 65 degrees in 100 degree heat. I love it! Would definitely stay here again without hesitation! It's not the Marriott but, it very well could be if they served fluffy, scrambled eggs at breakfast. read more

If you ever decide to take a trip to the rapidly growing Amador Wine country in the Sierra Foothills, this is the closest hotel to all of the vineyards and to the town of Plymouth. The hotel is actually pretty nice. Perched on a hillside above grassy pastures, this is a nice place to stay during your weekend getaway. The rooms are clean and large, the staff is super friendly and go way out of the way to make you feel welcome, and they have a pool and hot tub that overlook the valley. Very relaxing. read more

This was a great hotel. Excellent location. The prices were reasonable. The view was spectacular -- my girlfriend and I hung out in the hot tub and watched cows grazing in the field. Does it get better? The continental breakfast was a thoughtful spread including different kinds of fruit each morning. Everything was clean. The grounds were well maintained. The staff was friendly in a non-intrusive way. The only drawback was the shower because the water did not stay at a constant temperature (and I don't take long showers). Despite this small issue, we would stay here again. read more

I'd probably stay here again so I guess it's worth 4 stars, but a number of items could be improved. I think it is expensive considering the condition so you are paying a lot for the location and the view. First, the Good: Absolutely beautiful views, through very large windows, of rolling grassy hills with scattered oaks and cattle grazing. Even the view as you step out the door on the parking lot side was nice. This place is far enough back from the highway that road noise isn't a problem. Room was large and was mostly clean with a large bathroom counter. They use fitted bottom sheets so they don't come untucked. The grounds were very clean. No windows facing parking lot so you don't hear the rude people honking their horns when they lock their cars quite as loudly as at many places, but you'll still hear some. Not so good: Hairs in tub, and food crumbs under couch and bed did not get vacuumed up even after we mention them to one of the operators. TV is small by current standards (32"?) and very difficult to operate, often requiring multiple attempts to turn on and you may have to find the buttons on the side of the TV to use along with the remote to turn it on. WIFI was OK but slow at times, and it was very uncrowded when we were there. Bed was very firm, just below hard, too firm for a side-sleeper. Extremely thin comforter with no blanket and no extra blankets in room so had to run heater in room at night, and that was loud and had a few glitches where it didn't work sometimes and had no working constant fan setting. Some windows have very cloudy old glass so that detracted from the view, and the windows and curtains were hard to open and close. Need to be tall enough to grab the curtains up at the bar and even then they were a bit difficult to move. Toilet was about the lowest I've encountered and there's no grab bar so it was a bit difficult getting down & up (but at least it was an elongated bowl). Sink was small. Furniture was new but not very functional, e.g., nightstand tables had no drawer or shelf so could only use the top surface, limiting space to put things, chairs are very big & bulky so a hassle to move around. Breakfast room was tiny--2 tables and it felt crowded when others were in there. I don't know how it could work when the hotel has more guests. Breakfast items were decent--a little beyond basic continental breakfast but nothing like what you'd get at Holiday Inn Express or Quality Inn-type places. No housekeeping services some days but they may not tell you ahead of time and we don't need service every day but I figured they'd change our sheets when we asked for service after three nights but they didn't, then they didn't change the next day after we asked because they only change sheets twice/week--well, that could be 5 or 6 nights depending on when you check in and if you don't want them changed after the first 1 or 2 nights. And we heard dogs barking in another room and parking lot early two mornings and were charged by a yelping little dog when we got out of our car in the parking lot one evening. And I just remembered that we had a lot of kid noise one night so the walls may not be well-insulated for sound but other nights it was quiet. Others have said the manager is rude and I can see how he may come across that way but mostly I don't think so, except when it comes to working outside an 8-5 workday. Since he's in the hotel business, I'd think it would be normal for guests to call about reservations or arrive at 9 or 10 p.m., but in hearing him talking to various people he did seem rude about how he tried to get everyone to call him or arrive or whatever during the afternoon. He didn't seem happy if he might have to deal with something in the evening. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. From the street it looks like an old motel type property, with access to rooms on the outside. But once inside, the rooms are large and lavish, with probably one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on. While the choices in the Amador county wine region are limited anyway, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well maintained and comfortable this hotel is. read more

The Shanandoah Inn is an excellent Inn in Plymouth CA. Our room was extremely clean and the staff was amazing and very accommodating. Our room had a flat screen t.v., microwave, refrigerator and a jacuzzi in it. The beds are really comfortable with a modern decor. Right outside our window was the patio with a BBQ grill which we used to grill a steak for our dinner. There are tables by the pool and we saw people outside having breakfast in the morning and wine and h'ordereuves in the evening. We will definitely make this our choice of places to stay when we visit the area. read more

My mother and I just got back from the Big Crush wine festival in Plymouth where we stayed at the very conveniently located Shenandoah Inn. My aunt booked us the room so we weren't really sure what we were getting into but we were pleasantly surprised! The rooms were modernized and beautiful. The bathroom was huge which is a major plus if there are two girls trying to get ready at the same time! The beds were very comfortable and our room had a great view. The continental breakfast is typical so nothing great or bad there. The staff was wonderful which adds to my positive review. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the insulation is not great. I could hear the lady next door cackle like she was in the room with me. Other than that though the stay was great. I will definitely be coming back to the Shenandoah Inn when I am back to this beautiful wine country. read more

Great family owned and operated hotel that is clean and comfortable. The service was exceptional and in many ways over the top. We arrived very late and they left a key under the mat for us, which worked our great! read more

We have a wonderful time at this hotel. The staff and management team were so welcoming and adaptable to our needs, the room was spotless and the amenities more than we could have hoped for, especially during covid. The location is perfect for wine tasting weekend. I highly recommend this place and to book directly with them instead of third party websites. read more

My family had adjoining rooms 222 and 223. Overall, a pleasant stay. - Ownership is very welcoming at the front desk: nice start. - Rooms are spacious and extremely clean. - Our rooms offered beautiful countryside views. - Rooms tend to be quite warm and A/C is outdated. - Nice pool/hot tub/grill area. - Best thing: clearly hearing coyotes howling at night and in morning. - We left too early to vouch for the breakfast spread. - Rates are more than fair. read more

Stayed at the Shenandoah again to visit family. We all enjoyed our stay thanks to Ken and Maria's hospitality, as well as the rest of the crew. Great location from wineries. Continental breakfast better than most corporate-run hotels. Kids enjoyed the pool too. Looking forward to our next visit! read more
