We booked this hotel on priceline for a Saturday night stay. We were in town getting our engagement pictures done at the Capitol. The hotel look recently reburbished. Our room was on a high floor looking towards the Sacramento River. The rooms were spacious, bed was comfortable, and the hotel staff were very friendly. The closet was very small with no doors. We would stay here again, great location next to the downtown mall.

Chose the hotel as a stopover location arriving late afternoon followed by an early start the next day.

We were met at the door by friendly staff and we chose to use the valet parking for $18 rather than the self park for $12. We had help with our bags and the car was ready and after a quick phone call the car was waiting by the time we had checked out the next day.

This hotel is large, clean and modern and ideally located for the Old Town and a short walk to the Capitol. The California State Railroad Museum in the Old Town is well worth a visit.

Our room had 2 double beds, coffee maker but no fridge. There is a restaraunt but unlike the Holiday Inn we had stayed at in Sebastopol there was no complimentary breakfast.

For a stopover it was ideal and as it is located just off the freeway it is easy to find by car and after getting advice from the concierge we got straight onto the route we needed for our next destination.

I was also here for a conference . . . what can I say, it was an average conference experience. It got pretty hot on the second day (about 90 degrees outside), and some of the meeting rooms got overly warm and stuffy.

My room looked like it had been recently refurbished, although one of the pillows on the sofa was already grossly stained. The room was otherwise clean -- except for the window, where the dirt was so thick it almost obstructed the view. Not that the view was all that interesting, but it would have been nice to have a clean window. The air conditioner worked fine, but it was noisy.

The best thing about this hotel is its location, within easy walking distance of Old Sacramento. In the other direction is a fairly large and generic shopping mall anchored by Macy's.

If you're looking for a place to have a special dinner in Old Sacramento, I can recommend The Firehouse Restaurant.

Stayed her for two nights for a conference. The meeting space was not great but the sleeping rooms were comfortable. Small but adequate exercise facilities and a nice restaurant. The best part of this hotel is its proximity to the mall and a large Macy's Department store. It is also a short walk from Old Sacramento, which has fun shops and good restaurants. Don't miss the candy store across from Joe's Crab Shack--free samples!

All in all, this hotel did the job and was in a great location.
