Amador Hotel

Better than expected after their remodel — see photos below. Photos are from room 225 which is their King Suite that comes with a small kitchenette.

We booked this hotel for our Kirkwood ski trip. About 50-55mins in the morning from Kirkwood from the hotel.

This place fits all our needs and has the best value/distance from Kirkwood. We are looking to stay here again for our upcoming trips.

Very clean room. Very high ceiling for our room. The bedding could be better since they have sheets and a blanket. It did the trick for a 2 night stay. The remodel did this place wonders and I will choose this place over airbnb anytime.

The office manager, David, is very friendly and we have only spoken over email and phone. David gave us a call the night of as he noticed we were running late — he was very accommodating!

They have a restaurant called Plate88 right on the property which you can eat breakfast and dinner. We opted for dinner here instead of South Lake Tahoe due to the drive.

We had the most wonderful 2-nights stay at this hotel, my two (very picky!) teens loved it! Fresh renovated rooms, everything new and clean and impeccable, I loved wooden ceilings and huge windows facing beautiful forest. Amazing very hospitable and attentive crew, they treat you like family! There is a nice restaurant with pool tables and good food and drinks. Short drive (under an hour) from Kirkwood, and tons of amazing places nearby! We loved Black Chasm Caverns (less than 10 minutes away and home to some super rare structures - only 2 caverns in the US have them!).

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day experience with a great display of flowers, chocolates, candles, and Prosecco in our room! The staff was friendly and had great follow up from reservation to check out. Clean room. The only negative feedback was the loud noise from the upstairs guest walking back and forth. They need to change the flooring to carpet upstairs!

We had an excellent stay here! Our room was super clean and spacious. We only stayed for one night but the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great place to stay at if you're just looking somewhere to crash before heading to Kirkwood early in the am. The rooms are clean and roomy. No nasty stains on the tubs or toilets. Nice view from the rooms. Theirs a restaurant right next to it as well, which is convenient.
