Imperial Hotel

Please read subject...That is all you need to know!!!!!! Dirty martini excellent..go to Sutter Creek or get a pizza for food. The new York strip has zero flavor..the "special" salmon puts wild in the word wild...yuck

We have stayed 3 times over the years, this last time Sept 2018 for 2 nights, the staff is wonderful, the food was good, However, the condition of the hotel is very poor, the upkeep not good. The new owner needs to paint, repair, CLEAN it. The room number 2 was filthy dirty, had cobwebs the windows were filthy with hand prints, just needs an over haul , the stairs leading to the 2nd story (where the rooms are) has spider webs and the carpet is not clean, not even vacuumed. We were very disappointed in the condition of the hotel. We will not be going back.

Kinda felt a bit ripped off leaving here...Paid nearly $170 for a dark hole up the hill on the other side of town with no internet or tv...Stayed at the main building many times and never even knew they had a separate building...Amador City is a pretty town and The Imperial Hotel has lots of charm. Just don't stay in the Suites, you don't get the full experience of the hotel. especially number 9.

Pretentious meets incompetence meets generally confused. The evolution of the Imperial since the new owners has been one of the strangest, yet saddest attempts at a restaurant and bar I have patronized in Amador County. The general pretentious vibe is met with an eclectically strange and overpriced menu that leads to confusion as to why your bill was so high from mediocre food and drinks. The incompetence of the “new to restaurant” owners, is on full display with decisions made in regard to hours of operations, or generally catering the local community. Local nights which use to consist of drink specials and local music have been diminished to locals heading over the hill to Sutter Creek, Plymouth and Jackson where locals can congregate and socialize with the community including restaurant owners. Interesting to note as well, this is the same owner who financially backs the failing Break Even Brewery up the road. Common themes being noticed? My hope as is most of the communities is that when this confused business inevitably goes under soon, someone will come in with a stronger understanding of what a restaurant in the community should be, which believe it or not, you can drive tourism and serve locals simultaneously. The final straw with this place is the fact they stood against “Dancing in the Streets”, a tradition in the community for the past decade. Completely anti community, and this places deserves to be avoided.
