If you check the reviews here you will see that this is mostly a love-it or hate-it place. I was thinking of putting a 2 or 3-star because that is probably what it deserves as far as hotel ratings go. HOWEVER, I knew in advance that it was going to be "funky" and to be honest, it has POTENTIAL POTENTIAL... More

It's a small town hotel, so don't expect too much from it. The owner is really a nice guy. I stayed in room 11 and the bed felt like it was seriously sagging to the side I was on. This meant that I felt like I would fall off the edge of the bed no matter which way I moved.... More

we were, again up in Amador for another wine event,and decided to try the Ione hotel.They let us check in really early and gave us a choice of rooms....gave us a nice little story about the past experience of our room. Boo! The rooms could use a little cleaning,and it would not take away from its originality. ..but otherwise this... More

Was coming into Ione for author J'amie Rubio's book signing for the day, and always enjoy staying in this historical hotel, when I have the chance. As usual, the owner and staff was very friendly. They always make you feel very welcomed. Nice work! Food is great too!

This will be our 4th time staying at the Ione Hotel and we are never disapointed! The owner is a very kind and friendly man and always makes us feel like family. The rooms are alway clean and we have never had any problems, well we did have a ghost visit us one time but we were OK with that... More

I would even go as far as to say that I would love to try this property out again just a very different room. This review is solely for room 7... More

In this small hidden town called Ione, stands this little treasure. The minute you walk in to the Ione Hotel you feel like you've stepped back in time. Beautiful furnishings and comfortable rooms with an antique ambiance.

IT’S A SHAME that such a potentially great hotel is so inadequately managed and staffed. The disappointment began almost immediately. We arrived at the Ione Hotel at about 4:30 Saturday, July 14. From all outward looks, the hotel is very attractive. At the desk, the clerk was nowhere to be found (she was also waiting tables in the restaurant). After... More

Back in January, I made reservations at the Ione Hotel, an historic hotel in Ione, Ca. We had a group that was going to stay there while we enjoyed the 2012 El Dorado Wine Passport with our friends. Well, for one, when I made the reservation, the owner would not send me a confirmation, even though he said he was... More
