This hotel is in a terrific location in downtown Sacramento close to all the restaurants and nightlife. Half a block to the governers mansion and close to the convention center. The lobby is nice enough and the morning breakfast was included and pretty good. Our bed and bedding were terrific. The rooms are pretty basic and dated and could use some more work . It looks like parts of the room have been updated and parts have not changed since the hotel was built.

We got a great price on this Hotel through Hotwire so for us the hotel was a good value. If I had to pay more then $75 for this place I think I would stay at one of the larger 4 star hotels down the street instead. For a little more you could stay in some luxury.

However for a short stay the Holiday Inn Express location, price and free convenient parking make this a good choice in downtown Sacramento.

This is not a bad choice if you're priced out of better hotels, but little details do indicate that things don't run 100% ship-shape in the hotel. Hot water, for example, wasn't running in my room during half my stay so that I was inconvenienced into showering with cold water. Their high-speed internet connection is nonexistent via wireless. The room wasn't furnished for working (i.e., no desk).
On the plus side, their complimentary breakfast is not bad, and the staff is helpul, even though they do seem somewhat stressed and overworked. The facilities are clean and the hotel itself is located coveniently.

This hotel was okay but not something I would care to stay in any length of time
My Husband and I and our 2 young children stayed here over night when passing through.
It is in a good location right near Arden way where the mall is and some good restraunts
The lobby made one think that it was a very nice hotel but the rooms were a dissapointment, very old.
The hallways smelled old and musty, got in our room and the curtains were a dull white and looked dirty.
We turned the heater on and it was so loud and smelled so bad we just made do without heat that night.
The shower curtain rod had an extra support to hold it to the ceiling and it was coming out of the ceiling.
The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were clean
It was sleepable for one night.
The parking spaces were so close together you couldn't hardly get out of your car if you were able to even fit between the two white lines.
Basically if you are just passing through or on a quick business trip it is okay unless you are just not too picky.

This Holiday Inn Express has a great location in downtown Sacramento. It is located on 16th St. where there are 3 major car rental businesses as close as one block away. There is a resturant next door at the Clarion Hotel. The Governor's mansion is also next door where you can take a tour.

The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms have new furnishings or at least they look new. The hot water took about 3 minutes to reach my 4th floor room; this was a minor inconvenience. Everything was clean and relatively quiet.

They have a buffet breakfast included in the room fee; and there is a internet computer in the lobby that guests can use and print out pages if they need to. This is also free. All in all, it worked very well. You can walk 3 blocks to L street or K street where there are lost of eateries and the government buildings are a few more blocks away, but easy to walk to.

I had no complaints.
