The Best Western Amador Inn sits on Highway 49 at the south end of Jackson, and with 118 rooms across two floors it is the largest hotel in the area. The two-story brick motor inn underwent a significant renovation in 2017 and again in 2025, keeping the property fresh while maintaining its role as the go-to lodging option for visitors exploring Amador County. Its position directly on Highway 49 puts guests minutes from downtown Main Street in one direction and the Shenandoah Valley wine country — home to over forty wineries — in the other.
The inn offers free daily breakfast, a seasonal outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour business center, and a BBQ and picnic area on the grounds. Select rooms come with working fireplaces and kitchenettes, a welcome upgrade for families or anyone settling in for more than a night or two. Pet-friendly rooms are available for up to two dogs (80 pounds each, $25 per day plus a refundable deposit), which makes the Amador Inn one of the more accommodating options in the county for travelers who bring their four-legged companions along. AAA, AARP, and military discounts are available.
Jackson is the county seat of Amador County and the practical hub for exploring the Mother Lode. From the Amador Inn, guests can easily reach the Kennedy Mine, the Amador County Museum, Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort, Black Chasm Cavern, Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park, and the lakes and reservoirs that dot the Sierra Foothills. Whether you are here for a wine-tasting weekend, a deep dive into Gold Rush history, or just passing through on Highway 49, the Amador Inn offers a reliable, comfortable place to land.
