Amador City is a very lovely town in Amador County, an easy drive from Sacramento International Airport and a great location from which to travel around the Gold Country. The Imperial Hotel has been a go-to for me for many years when I visit the region but I've observed a gradual deterioration in the condition of the facility with little apparent effort to improve anything. Rooms are adequate but lack basic things like irons and ironing boards or even sufficient hangars for clothes (things you'd expect at this price-point). You can ask for these items of course, but it seems to stress the staff and that makes things uncomfortable. The rooms, while fairly clean, do need a good high dusting and some scrubbing of the floors. More important, they are in desperate need of improvement - not to look fancy but merely clean, appropriate for the historic nature of the facility, and durable. They'll want to think carefully about color, I'd recommend getting rid of all things pink and pastel. There is still much charm in the place and I do recommend it however, you will need to recognize that it is old and in need of some repair. I would not recommend staying more than a couple of nights. I'd tell one, if you do stay, the restaurant is a very good feature, the service is excellent, the food is well-prepared and there is a good wine list (cocktails are also available and are generous). It's my opinion that the friendly nature of the folk working at the place keep it all together.
