This place is dated, filthy and smelly. The entire grounds smell as if there is a rotting dead animal somewhere. The trash cans are overflowing with flies buzzing around. There is goose poop everywhere on every walkway. There are cobwebs everywhere around the grounds and lake railings. The lake and koi pond are so polluted, you can not even see the koi in the water. The pool and spa are filthy, with stuff floating on the surface. The waterline tile is BLACK with filth and grime. It is in a rough neighborhood with lots of train noise all night long.

The Radisson website made this look much better than it really was. Although it was conveniently located about 10 minutes from downtown, the neighborhood was a bit odd. I would not really recommend this hotel if you are traveling with kids. The room doors open to the outside, not a hallway.

Hotel was priced very cheaply but was still a Radisson which was why I chose it. I was not planning on staying in Sacramento, but it snowed in the pass to Tahoe and I opted not to risk the drive over at night in the snow. Most other choices I considered first (e.g., Embassy Suites) were booked.

We showed up at night at what made me nervous was the the rooms are accessed from the exterior and it was very dark. During the day the hotel (motel, really) was fine and I felt a little silly for feeling nervous at night, but I do not like the layout. It would be easy to break in to cars and the front desk is far from the rooms.

The room itself was pretty nice with a high ceiling and had a view of the little lake. I did not like that the bathroom window opened out to the hallway. This was a safety concern to me. We tried the restaurant for breakfast and it smelled musty. Our waitress was a little bit of a trip, too.

I wouldn't stay here again just based on the uneasy feeling the place gave me. I did hear the trains (barely) but that was the least of my concerns. I still rate 3 stars because the grounds and the room were nicer than I thought they would be for the price.

This hotel is near the Sacramento fair grounds and is located in a quiet area. I would recommend that you stay at the nearby Double Tree or Hilton instead. The hotel is very spread out with a confusing layout so that persons with limited mobility (or lots to carry) may find it difficult. The rooms are old and not well maintained.

But the worst is the service. Before I came I had lots of trouble with my reservation and had to call several times to get the conference rate. During my stay they assigned my room to another traveler who entered my room and fortunately for me, immediately figured out that it was occupied and left. (I was out at the time). When I came back my room key didn't work and after a hike to the front desk, I was told nothing about this incident and chided for keeping my key next to my cell phone. Accidentally, I found out later what had happened. When I checked out, I complained and was told that it was a computer error -- no apologies offered.
This is not a hotel that cares about customers despite its claims.
