The Spotlight on Best Western Sandman Hotel

Riverside Comfort Just Minutes from Downtown Sacramento

Modern yet laid-back, the Best Western Sandman Hotel sits right on the scenic Sacramento River, only a 5-minute drive from Historic Old Sacramento and key downtown music venues. This casual, budget-friendly spot offers easy access to the city’s best concerts, plus thoughtful amenities like free WiFi, a hot breakfast, and an outdoor pool to unwind after the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate how close this hotel is to downtown venues—many are just a quick rideshare or drive away. While it’s near the action, the riverside location means quieter nights for post-show recovery. With a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, there’s a bit of flexibility for those rolling in late or sleeping in after a big night. Free parking and nearby transit options make getting around stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a casual and affordable base
- Solo travelers catching a long-awaited concert
- Couples on a weekend music getaway
- Fans needing a peaceful stay after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even late ones) with a free hot breakfast—omelets, bacon, sausage, pastries, coffee, and more. On-site, Nina’s Mexican Restaurant serves up flavorful dishes and a full bar for laid-back dining. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find microwaves and mini-fridges in every room for midnight snacks, and several late-night eateries are just a short drive away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things chill, you’re only minutes away from Sacramento’s best bars, lounges, and live music venues. Whether you're heading to a concert or continuing the night out downtown, it’s all easily accessible.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and the added bonus of the river trail access right behind the hotel. The friendly staff and ample free parking get frequent praise, and many note it’s a great value for the location. The hot breakfast is a consistent highlight for travelers recovering from a night out.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit dated in appearance, and some guests mention that the exterior could use a refresh. Noise from the freeway can be noticeable in certain rooms, so light sleepers may want to request a room away from the road.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a quiet, affordable stay close to Sacramento’s music scene, Best Western Sandman Hotel hits the right note.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Heather, Hanford, visiting Golden 1 Center Thu, 20 January 2022

0 for the motel; 10 for Golden One Center.

Liked: No! Biggest mistake of our trip was choosing this motel, it was horrible. Lots of homeless people, poor staff, did not receive the room we reserved; did not feel safe; almost drove back home and after all this was charged almost $2000; we should have been paid to stay in dangerous conditions; also, the fire alarm in our room was broken and they never came to fix it.
Disliked: Everything.
