I stayed one night at the Residence Inn at Capitol Park in early September, 2008. This is a brand new property--only open a few months and looks and feels new in every way. Quite different from the usual suburban Residence Inn--15 stories with an adjacent parking garage. Compact rooms of higher quality construction. Excellent location at 15th & L, diagonally across from Capitol Park.

I had a one bedroom with a king bed in a separate room just large enough to walk around the bed on 3 sides. The sitting room, which had a sofa bed and one upholstered chair, also was smaller than in the usual Residence Inn, with a full kitchen in one corner. Small eating table for two in addition to a desk. Two TVs, both flat panel, larger one in sitting room. Good TV reception and fairly good channel selection. Only one thermostat (in bedroom) that didn't seem to influence room temperature much. Central air conditioning was powerful and slightly noisy. When it got too cold, I had to turn off the air. Only one wastebasket--perhaps an oversight by the maid. Good showerhead over tub with adequate hot water. My room was very quiet except for dumpster emptying at 5 am. Room lighting and counter space at bath sink were both adequate.

Parking cost $24 for valet (plus tips) or $17 for self-parking. To self-park you have to go way up, round and round, to reach the designated area.

Above average selection at complimentary breakfast except eggs and sausages were of low quality. Breakfast seating was adequate between 8:30 & 9 on Monday morning, but hotel probably was at low occupancy.

Four computers and two printers next to the breakfast room. Cold air comes down on your neck while using any of the computers. The computers are on a slow server.

All in all, my stay was satisfactory, but unexciting. Nicest aspect was that everything was new.

We had the two bedroom two bath suite for one night, fantastic. Big window overlooking capital, beautifully furnished. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Only weird thing was the ice maker in the fridge didn't work very well and was turned off when we got there. I found out the reason later on that night when it finally made a batch of ice and it landed with a loud crash into the bin. I got out of bed and quickly turned that off. Staff was pleasant and very helpful.

We were really happy with this place. I was traveling with my husband and 2 little kids to a friend's wedding at a vineyard near Sacramento, and we thought it might be fun to stay in town for a few days. We were really glad we did! The hotel is new and really lovely and the service was very nice too.
The room had a separate bedroom and living room, each with a big flat screen TV, and the living room includes a really nice FULL kitchen -- Including dishes and cookware! Anyone traveling with small kids can appreciate the beauty of having your own kitchen when you're on the road. Everything pretty much looked just like the pictures online. The room was very clean and new.
The hotel has a very nice pool, jacuzzi and gym, which were right down the hall from us. It also had a very decent breakfast which was included in the price. We were amazed at what a great value it all was at $120 a night.
We had a nice view of the park in front of the capitol from our window, and there are lots of great restaurants in nearby "midtown", several which will deliver to the hotel.
oh, and I think it was Gay Pride weekend while we were there, so that spiced things up a bit!
Anyway, we discovered there are all kinds of fun things to do in Sacramento with kids --- like touring Old Sacramento and it's train museum, and visiting Fairy Tale park in Land Park.
My kids now think of sleepy little Sacramento as this amazing destination! And for that I give a lot of credit to this hotel.

I stayed at the Capitol Park Residence Inn for a weekend in late April, and found that from the moment I entered, the atmosphere was friendly. The staff was extremely helpful with all my needs, including the use of FedEx, and later checkout. I had a studio room, and found it quite sufficient for my needs. I found the bed to be very comfortable, no discernable noises through the walls, and a very clean modern hotel overall. I was minutes away from the river and Old town and from my venue. I will definitely stay here again should I be in the area.
