Set in the South Natomas neighborhood, this well-appointed hotel combines suburban calm with easy access to the city’s top entertainment spots. With a 24-hour business center, an outdoor pool and hot tub, and in-room amenities like a microwave and mini-fridge, it’s the kind of place that balances comfort and functionality.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 10-minute drive from Sacramento’s biggest venues, including the former ARCO Arena and downtown music halls, this hotel is ideal if you want to be close — but not too close — to the action. Travelers love the peaceful atmosphere after a loud night out, as well as the helpful touches like late-night snacks from the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry and the hot tub for post-show relaxation. The 4pm check-in and 11am check-out times offer some wiggle room for late-night arrivals and slow mornings.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a chill place to regroup
- Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list performance
- Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
- Fans who prefer to wind down somewhere quiet after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for solid value

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Garden Grille and Bar serves both breakfast and dinner, so you can grab a bite before the show or refuel after. For those post-gig cravings, the Pavilion Pantry is open 24/7 with snacks and drinks. Guests also appreciate the option of room service and coffee machines in every room. Plus, breakfast is available even if you sleep in a bit.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things pretty low-key, you’re just a short ride away from downtown Sacramento’s bar scene, lounges, and late-night eateries. Whether you're into craft cocktails, live local bands, or a low-key nightcap, you'll find something nearby. The Pavilion Lounge is also a convenient spot to sip a drink without leaving the hotel.

What People Say

Reviews consistently highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the quiet, convenient location. Guests appreciate the easy freeway access and the short drive to downtown — close enough to feel connected, but far enough to avoid the late-night noise. The comfortable beds and in-room amenities get frequent shout-outs, too.

Areas for Improvement

A few guests have noted that the decor could use a refresh, and the parking lot can fill up on busy weekends. But overall, these are minor trade-offs for the value and location.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a quiet, well-equipped hotel just minutes from Sacramento’s top concert venues, the Hilton Garden Inn Sacramento/South Natomas hits the right note.
