Staff was the best part of the stay, very nice and welcoming. Makes you feel comfortable (if you can get past the spooky feeling of the haunted hotel) lol just wish the restaurant/bar was up and running. Would definitely book again. Thank you for the great hospitality. 👍

First time staying at The National Hotel, but definitely not our last. The rooms are small, but nice decorated with antiques. It’s what we expected from a historical hotel. Wonderful balcony outside to enjoy an evening beverage. And it’s pet friendly. All staff has been extremely helpful and accommodating.

the National Hotel is an historic property that has been continuously operated as a hotel since the 1870's. It's interesting and fun. The bathrooms are updated and nice. The bed was comfortable. The best thing is the friendly, helpful staff. We had a classy, tasty dinner in their dining room and the antique bar is fun and very friendly. It's a good early California experience.

My sister and I stayed here for a couple of nights. The staff were So friendly, along with everyone in the whole town. It is like stepping back in time when staying at the National, and going to all the places surrounding Jamestown. Make sure to visit Columbia State park, and also Railtown 1897 State Park. Thank you Jamestown for making us feel so Welcome, along with Flo.

The room and property was very nicely decorated. The problem was the noise that went on in the room until 10 pm each night. The source was the kitchen ventilation system which translated to probably 100 decibels of constant noise in our guest room. There were jo windows that opened to outside air. The windows looked out directly to a brick wall which was the neighboring property resulting in a claustrophobic environment.

Hello Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. We do understand the inconvenience. As we are 165 years old, there are things that are out of our control. We do have to have the hood on and running any time the kitchen is running this is required by law. With the building being old there is not much we can do to stop the sounds. We are sorry for any inconvenience. We will continue to make the best accommodations that we can.

Walking into our room was like stepping back in time. The design was from the turn of the Century, right to the pull chain toilet and teddy bear on the terrific bedspread. The unoccupied rooms have open doors with little chains across so you can peek inside all the other charming spaces. The balcony was a great spot to watch the town move along its day, right across from The Emporium (1898). Biggest surprise was the fabulous dinner in the dining room, quaint, Victorian red and overstuffed, or choose the outside patio area. Food was amazing. A perfect getaway at a very reasonable price. Cheers to the new management.

Wonderful historic old style lodging on a quaint main street, have stayed here before. Common areas are kept very cold, meaning hallways etc. Room was very cold upon check-in, but eventually warmed up using in room heater. Shower drainage was very very slow causing buildup of water in its shallow tiled pan, was not able to notify staff of this as there was nobody available when I checked out. Dining room/bar menu is eclectic and extensive, cocktails delicious, but the food items I had were just average, nothing special (though the homemade sourdough bread roll amazing). Perhaps other items would be more memorable. Upstairs hallway morning coffee, tea and a couple takeaway breakfast items were lovely and very convenient. The 2 to 3 folks I met on staff and who run the place were all quite nice. Will no doubt be back despite a few shortcomings.
