Perched on the hilltop of Old Martell along Highways 49 and 88, Linda Vista Motel has been welcoming travelers to the Gold Country since 1942. Originally built with just 11 rooms, this family-run inn has grown over the decades to offer 21 comfortable guest rooms, each equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, flat-screen TV with premium movie channels, and complimentary Wi-Fi. A swimming pool — added in 1997 — gives guests a refreshing way to cool off after a day of wine tasting or exploring the surrounding foothills. Every morning, guests are treated to a complimentary continental breakfast featuring fresh-baked muffins and coffee.
What sets Linda Vista apart from the larger chain hotels in the area is its intimate, independent character. With just 21 rooms, the motel delivers a level of personal attention that bigger properties simply cannot match. The pet-friendly policy makes it easy for guests traveling with four-legged companions, and the budget-friendly rates keep it accessible for families and weekend adventurers alike. Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
The location is ideal for visitors looking to experience the best of Amador County. Jackson Rancheria Casino is just 3.5 miles away, and the renowned wineries of Shenandoah Valley are a short drive down the road. History buffs can explore the nearby Kennedy Gold Mine and the charming historic downtowns of Jackson and Sutter Creek, while winter visitors can use the motel as a convenient basecamp for Kirkwood Ski Resort via Highway 88. After more than eighty years of operation, Linda Vista Motel remains a genuine Gold Country original — a small inn with deep roots and a warm welcome for every guest who walks through the door.
