We enjoyed our stay at the National, the room was comfortable and clean and of standard size. The shower was excellent as were the towels and robes. What I liked best about our room is that it opened onto the balcony over Jackson's downtown. The balcony runs the width of the hotel so it is shared by 5 or 6... More

When I first walked into this place in 1988, it was a dump. At the time, I actually stayed in a room that had no heat and it was winter! Yesterday, I entered this newly remodeled building. It has been restored beyond any time in its long history. Nice friendly locals dressed up in period outfits. We at dinner at... More

The hotel is nicely done, very pleasing and very comfortable. The bed was comfortable, more pillows than anyone could possible use. The bath tub was delightful as well as the shower. We had dinner in the hotel, service was very very good and the food well presented and excellent. A very nice experience overall.

Very well done. Great steakhouse with good wine list. Staff was friendly and attentive to my needs. Our room was very clean. Not far from Amador wine tasting and would be a great hotel if you are at a winery for a wedding. Will be staying here again.

We recently spent 5 nights at the National Hotel in Jackson, California. What a wonderful experience. The hotel was built in the mid 1800's but has been totally remodeled into a first rate hotel with all modern conveniences but the with the feel of the old era. Comfortable beds, accommodating staff and a wonderful restaurant on the first floor made... More

We spent the night at this historic jewel of the Gold Rush era. The makeover that was given the old hotel/bar/restaurant is amazing. I understand the Lukowicz family were responsible for the restoration over a two year period. Absolutely no shortcuts were taken in this process. This is well worth a days journey just to taste the San Francisco quality... More

My first trip to the beautiful National Hotel was for New Years Eve. The place was packed and was buzzing with happy vibes. Food was top notch, service was impeccable considering it was wall to wall people, and the bed was probably more comfy that my bed at home, which is necessary after a new years party like this!

Stanley's Steakhouse is part of the National Hotel. They had a special menu for Christmas which was very Dickensian. Roast goose, Beef Wellington, figgy pudding, trifle, etc. to give you an idea. The food was fantastic! Now, we since live within a 45 minute drive, we didn't stay there but we had an excellent meal. The waitstaff were extremely efficicent... More

This relatively new and revamped hotel includes both a coffee shop (skip) and a downstairs bar and restaurant. We went during the World Series, so the place was a big "livelier" than it might be usually, but it was clear the locals already love this spot. I ordered apps because that's how I like to eat and had an amazing... More

The place looked great! I live near Jackson and have been here three times. I ate once and the Salmon was very good. $ 18.00 al-a- cart. The prices go up hill from there. Steaks are in the $30.00 range. I feel these prices are to high for this area yet I know this hotel isn't catering to the local... More
