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.

Excellent Staycation

Liked: the location is the best near to golden 1 Center if you want to watch NBA games or concerts and then old sacramento and state capitol is walking distance. It is very convenient and there are several restaurants nearby as well.
Disliked: none
