    Outside the front desk where you check in

    Depending on your room, it would be rad or bad. Our group had 3 rooms: one had a broken hair drier, one had a broken shower knob, and the last was perfect. The nonsmoking rooms smell fine, but right outside your door is a bench with an ashtray where your neighbors are smoking. The are felt fun, well lit, and safe. The breakfast ran out of coffee early on, but had enough other goodies. The driveway is tucked away off the road.

    We have stayed here twice over the last year. The cottages are large, private and clean. Full kitchen, family room and bedroom. The owners are kind and helpful. He even gave us a bottle of wine for Valentine's Day! The location is perfect for exploring the gold country. We will be staying here again.

    Are words really necessary? Disgusting!!

    What a waste of money. I'm disgusted! How do they get away with charging $115 for a room with a bathroom covered in mold! And the guy at the front desk when I checked in was the rudest most unprofessional person. I do not recommend staying here. Zero stars!

    Horrible pace to stay. The shower had mold in it and the walls were dirty and had snot on them. The beds are rock hard.

    Dryer blood everywhere

    I can't even give them a star. The guy that runs the place is super rude. My girlfriend and I stay there last night. We checked putting our stuff in the room then went to eat dinner. When returned we both got in our pj's. I went to use the restroom and then my girlfriend uses it after and notices we both stepped barefooted on dry blood. I called the front desk, dude started giving me attitude, wouldn't come check our room. I took pictures he wouldn't look at any of my people calling me names, told he was calling the cops. I told him to go ahead so I could document this. He threw my money back at me as he continued to call me name. Going to make a doctor's appointment Monday hope I don't get any blood bourne diseases. Forgot to add my girlfriend as asthma and stepping in that blood gave her a panic attack. She had trouble breathing all night almost have to take her to the er. Pretty much ruined the rest of our trip.

    Room looks clean. Has a small fridge and microwave. If you're looking for a place to sleep it's not bad just hopefully you didn't encounter noisy neighbors. Walls are thin & the people next door was really annoying! They were up all night with the music and TV on I could complain but I didn't. I played my own music and eventually fell asleep. Customer Service I have no complaints. Other than the annoying party animal next door the place is ok.

    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.

Showers provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, awesome! Breakfast was good and had lots of choices. Now the not so good; Half of the parking lot lights are out at night, its dark and doesn't feel safe at all. The pool was what I was mainly looking forward to, it doesn't look like the photos, its across the parking lot from the hotel rooms, and had almost no sun, its weird sitting out by a pool with cars driving by the whole time, but the worst part was that the pool itself is absolutely full of bugs, worse than the bugs, were the ticks! There were A ton of them! So the pool was a no go for us! Now as far as our room, we booked a single bed room, and got a double bed one, not the end of the world, but neither one of the beds were slept in, because they were not clean under the blankets, at all! Which seemed to be the theme throughout the entire room, the floors were filthy, with bugs crawling around on them also! The shower curtain was stained and had hair stuck to it, the sink also had hair stuck to it, the light bulb in the bathroom where the mirror is was out, the fan in the bathroom didnt work, and the shower didnt even get hot. If there had been another place in town with a room, we would have left almost immediately after arriving. Very disappointed especially for the outrageous price of almost $200 for one week night!

Of course the first slot machine we went to hit and we started up $300, which we essentially gave back as we were chasing the big win. A guy next us said 'It only takes one spin to win' and we took that a little too literally lol. We played a variety of the machines, but the most luck we had was with the Top Dollar Machines, the others weren't lucky this time around. While we only left up $30, we spent 3 hours of fun just playing away. Something I haven't seen at any other casino was a free soda and non-alcoholic drink areas! It's Pepsi products though, so not the best, but at least it's free. I saw people ordering smoothies, which looked really good but we never stayed at a slot machine long enough to get one. We came on a Thursday, and it was bummer that there was only (1) blackjack table going with a $5 minimum. I walked by multiple times and there was never an open seat. Plenty of seats of pai gow or poker though. Maybe it was just the time of day, but definitely would love to try my hand at blackjack next time around.

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
