Great service, but old and unkept room.

I recently stayed at the Kimpton Hotel for a weekend getaway. The service was excellent—from the valet to the front desk, every staff member was welcoming and attentive. Unfortunately, the experience took a downturn once we checked into our room. The room itself felt outdated and poorly maintained—the ceiling showed signs of disrepair, the door frequently got stuck, and the pet relief area was dirty and neglected. On top of that, the bed was uncomfortable, which made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the stay. While the service was truly impressive, the condition of the rooms left me disappointed and unimpressed.

It’s a very convenient location being right in the heart of downtown sac. But I feel like the price is a little high and it’s not anything extravagant. It’s very clean and staff was very attentive. But the room was like many other hotel rooms. I don’t really like their bathroom setup. The door is a big mirror and it doesn’t shut properly so whoever you are staying with can hear you using the restroom. Overall nice, but a little pricy for what seemed like a basic hotel room.
