We had been there before...

Liked: Great location to down town, and Old Sac waterfront. Staff was excellent food and amenities around the hotel were great.
Disliked: Homeless people were around the hotel and old Sac waterfront. An obundance of security people around made us feel it was not safe to be out after dark.
