Ione Hotel — Hotel in Ione

A group of us (4 couples) stayed at the Ione Hotel while we were in Ione for the Preston Castle Haunted House. Overall, I found the hotel charming, affordable, and convenient. I did not find the hotel run down as others have commented. The hotel is a little rough around the edges but it is a historical building and I think the owner has done a good job of keeping the place up and running considering the price of the rooms (around $100 night) and the costly upkeep of maintaining an old building. ||Every room is decorated differently giving each room its own character. Room 9 is a nice honeymoon suite with a big claw foot tub in the room. Room 13 is apparently the most haunted (FYI - our group did not experience any paranormal activity during our stay). Fernando, the manager, is very nice and helpful. The rooms do let in light from the hallway so you might want to bring one of those eye cover things if you’re sensitive to light while trying to sleep. The Corner Café across the street opens early and makes a great breakfast burrito...

I have been in Ione 5 times, and spent my nights every time in this wonderful hotel. Every time I stay at this lovely hotel, I am thrilled with the atmosphere, the ambience and am amazed by new decorations and details that have been added or changed. Once you enter the building you feel welcome. All rooms are different, unique and decorated with love. The design of the rooms makes up a large part of the charm of this hotel and the uniqueness of the rooms is largely responsible for the fact that you as a guest immediately feel comfortable. The welcome by the housekeeper "Alejandro" is very warm and you never feel like "just a guest" but like a friend or a member of the family. The owner, as well as "Alejandro" are very friendly and always approachable if you have questions or problems. A post office, several restaurants and a small grocery store are in the immediate vicinity. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Ione and I am looking forward to...

My first contact was with Mack who was very accommodating / flexible with the dates I wanted to stay at the hotel. My second contact was Alejandro who greeted me with open arms. Made sure my room was ready and comfortable. He was always available for any questions. Rooms are clean and the bed is like sleeping on a cloud. The hotel is an experience in itself - your imagination will take you back to the gold rush days. Last but NOT LEAST - this hotel is connected to one of the BEST family restaurants I have ever been to. Burke Family Restaurant has the best SERVICE and FOOD you will ever experience. Plus - meet Dennis at the piano in the bar, what a guy. He can manage those ivories like Beethoven and is accompanied by one of the best saxophone players ever.

Stay at the Ione Hotel and enjoy Ione - best...
