We stayed for 4 nights but housekeeping only came once. We reminded her on our way out (second day) to clean our room and she did but that was the last. Twice we had to call and request for fresh towels. The bed is okay. Parking is not $25 as advertised in Expedia. It’s either $35 (garage) or $45 (express — right in front of the lobby). I liked the location. Old Sacramento is right next door. Lots of dining options too. Breakfast buffet if okay ($29.95) and we tried it once. For the rest of our stay we went to Roots Coffee for breakfast. I will stay here again.

Hotel is older needs renovation. It's in downtown Sacramento so make sure you don't leave anything in your car that will tempt a break in. Our hotel room was clean, but the A/C unit was having issues and was extremely loud.
