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.

Bed was comfy, the room was soundproofed and the staff was so nice. I loved the valet and bellhop service as soon as you pull up and how pet friendly the hotel is with a little doggy potty area right outside the hotel. Room service food was delish!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sawyer. It was a little noisy due to a big event at the venue directly next to the hotel. The staff was super helpful and was available for all our requests.

We had a very disappointing experience during our stay. When we arrived at our room, there were no towels in the bathroom. We called the front desk several times throughout the night asking for towels, especially because we had already started to shower. Each time, they said the towels were on the way, but they never arrived. Eventually, they stopped answering the phone completely. Out of frustration, we had to call again and pretend we were making a new reservation just to get someone to answer. Only then did they finally send towels — at 3:00 a.m.! Because of this delay, we had to using only the robes after showering, which was very uncomfortable. On top of that, the room didn’t have basic amenities like a shower cap or toothpaste. This lack of attention to guest needs and poor communication really affected our experience.
