My wife and I lived in Sacramento for years. We watched this hotel being built and stayed there two years ago while visiting the kids at Christmas. This Christmas, we started out at another hotel but moved to the Sheraton Grand after the Larkspur Landing (see my review) didn't work out.

Notably, the rates at the Sheraton were quite competitive. Although the room at the Sheraton was more typical of a hotel room than the one-bedroom suite at the other place, we instantly knew we'd made the right choice in changing hotels. Our room had a Sweet Sleeper king bed, a sitting area, a flat screen TV, and high-end bath amenities. It also had Internet access for a fee, but it was Christmas, so I left the laptop at home.

While we didn't eat at the restaurant, we did enjoy nibbles and wine at the lobby bar. Our bartender was great; very friendly and quite personable. The snacks were also good: hot, fresh, and tasty.

The hotel is convenient to the Convention Center, Downtown Plaza, a McCormick's and Schmicks just two blocks away, a funky shopping district (with several good restaurants) on J Street, and is not far from several freeways.

Last time, we used the valet parking, which struck me as a little expensive for Sacramento. This time, we self-parked -- in the same convenient garage across the street that the valets use. It saved us enough for a couple of glasses of wine each night, so we were pleased.

We will definitely stay there again!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon night. We had our limo pick us up from our wedding venue and drive us the 150 miles to our hotel. We arrived on a Saturday evening around 12:00 a.m. Check in was quick and efficient, and customer service was great. I had previously ordered roses to be delivered to our room via concerige. We were on the 23rd floor, when we arrived to the room, the rose pedals were on the floor following to the bed. It was done perfectly.

We had a king size bedroom, nice flat screen TV, and nice window seat with a view. The bed was comfortable, nice size bathroom with good ammenities. There is a shuttle that picks up from the hotel to take you to the airport. Would stay here again if in the downtown area. We got a California resident rate of $119 p/night on the Sheraton Web site.

The Sheraton is a good call if you are looking to stay in downtown Sacramento. You can easily walk to a number of good restaurants.

I got a great rate on Priceline, so that is the way to go.

The room was nice, nothing real special. Nice flat screen TV. The bathroom was very small and not very luxurious.

The Sheraton Grand is clearly a hotel that caters to the business set during the week. On the weekends, they offer great rates and above average accommodations and welcome dogs.

The rooms are nicely done and saved from being too business-y by the window seat. Huge windows with nice views, chairs are comfortable and the bedding is great - solid mattresses with very good linens. Bathrooms are large, products are nice. Big closet, giant TV.

Service is very solid and professional - check in is quick and requests are managed quickly and correctly. The location is nice - walk to Old town, down K street or around the Capitol grounds.
