While visiting Sacramento on a fishing trip I specifically booked a hotel with hot tub facilities.The hotel room was very old looking with chips of loose wood on doors carpet was not the cleanest,room had stale odor also ,I would have left but it was a Long drive back to San Francisco that night and was tired .I was so looking forward to getting into a hot tub to relax during trip ,that was supposed to be highlight of trip for me and my guest after a long day of fishing.To our dismay when we attempted to use hot tub it was very cold we waited but tub never heated up at all,manager was very nice he apologized which was appreciated but still no hot!! That was the last straw.I was very disappointed with accommodations.I was hoping to possibly get some type of credit,I’m planning another trip to Sacramento I normally stay in the downtown area of Sacramento at the Grand Sheraton …you can check my history..I very much enjoy hotels of that caliber but they don’t have a hot tub.I canceled booking I had for Dec 5th hoping I could get some type of remediation for next booking.If not I will use another service to book room in Sacramento.Ive been a customer of yours for some time now and never had a bad experience such as this hopefully you can help me out with next booking.I would like to re-book reservation for (Hilton Embassy Suites)I just canceled if possible…let me know asap if you can…Thank You..from loyal customer! ….Charles Helton

This was a comfortable, clean, good basic hotel at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and seemed hard working. The gym was small but sufficient. The location makes for an easy drive to many locations around Sacramento.

Disliked: Staff & service
The staff was rude, when asked for towels I was told they were short on towels and they could not give me any. After asking to speak to a manager the girl gave me the towels but in a very rude way. Also there was no shampoo or conditioner in our room. Breakfast had very limited options and the water and apple juice tasted like water with Chloride.

Location is great if needing accommodation for CAL State Univ. campus. We did not have a vehicle and used Uber when needed. Food options nearby are fast-food, so used Door Dash. Hotel breakfast options were good; but, they need a new toaster that's rated for commercial use - bread never toasted, just heated it. Room was updated and clean. Nice pool/spa but didn't use it.

We checked in after midnight, exhausted of a looooong drive. We were able to find a good parking in front of the hotel. The front desk lady was super nice, friendly, she greeted us and swiftly checked us in. The room was standard 1 King bed. Linens were clean and fresh. Many pillows (some really lumpy and ready to be retired). The mattress 🙈🙈… felt like the middle is higher than the sides, because we were rolling off the bed, all through the night. Light in the room was ok, but cold and not cozy. However, the spotlights were spot on, The furniture is ok, nothing fancy. Closet doors definitely need a new coat of the lacquer. Refrigerator is functional, but the freezer was packed with ice overgrowth. Would’ve been nice to defrost it now and then… Telephones are worthy of 1990s movie set. Bathroom Towels are standard - not good, not bad. Water pressure in the shower - perfect - not too strong, not too weak- just right! The shampoo and conditioner are very nice, no obnoxious smells, in fact, quite contrary - very pleasant, light fragrance. Same with the hand soap. Whoever had chosen it for the hotel, did a great job! Thank you! 🙏 A word about the bathroom lighting - it is a perfect lighting for makeup applying before the event! Definitely 10 out of 10. Would I vet stay there again? Definitely! But hopefully with a different mattress. Sleeping on that mattress after a long and hard journey was a torture.
