We wanted to get out of town for a one night getaway and chose Amador County so we could explore some new territory. After calling a few other B&Bs and finding no vacancies, we finally found a room at the Jackson Lodge.
We liked the location and that the rooms were set back off the highway. The room was clean and comfortable. My complaints come with the bed and bedding. The king sized bed was extremely hard and the pillows were awful. Why is it that hotels never seem to have decent pillows? I spent a good portion of the night bunching up the pillows trying to make two into one decent feeling pillow. I was highly unsuccessful.
I'd read that the Continental Breakfast left a little to be desired and that was not an understatement. Packaged danish and juice does not make a decent breakfast. I was really hoping for a little bit more than this.

My mother, sister and I stay in the cabins every spring. They are very comfortable with a king bed and a sofa sleeper and we love the full kitchen. Each cabin is like a darling little apartment! We have also stayed in the hotel rooms and loved the fact that each of us had our own bed. The grounds are also very nice, perfect for an easter egg hunt!

The Jackson Lodge is a well maintained, older motel-style property on the edge of Jackson, CA. The location, at the bottom of a steep driveway off Hwy 49, is very quiet. Rooms were large and well-kept, with most having been refurbished fairly recently. The bathroom was up to date and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The air conditioning, thankfully, worked well in 110 degree weather. The motel is convenient to the Amador/El Dorado wine country. Prices were reasonable for the quality.

We went on a trip to the Gold Country without making reservations. We thought there would be no trouble getting a room. Lucky for us, the Jackson Lodge had one room left. The room was clean and comfortable. In my 20 years of professional travel I have met beds that were not made for sleeping. I got a great nights sleep. The staff helped us carry our things up the stairs and offered again when we left, without our asking, if they could help us brings things down the stairs. Over all I would recommend the Jackson Lodge to anyone.
