良い滞在だった
Pros:

立地／アスレチックス戦観戦で初めて訪れたが、球場まで徒歩15分で問題ない。
川の東サイドではエンバシーの方が球場に近いがこちらは飲み屋やレストランエリアからは少し離れており、ホリデイインの方が便利。
施設＆部屋／古いが手入れはされており全く問題ない。部屋も広く、コーヒーマシンが置いてあるのも良い。
ルームメイク／毎日入ってくれる。仕事も早い。
朝食／感じの良いスタッフが席まで案内し、コーヒーを入れてくれる。メニューもアメリカのホテル朝食としては豊富、ありがちな紙皿と使い捨てのナイフ＆フォークでは無いのも良かった。

Cons:

特に無し

Very expensive for the quality, great location to old town Sacramento
Pros:

The location is amazing. It’s really close to old town Sacramento and a very reasonable walking distance to the baseball stadium

Cons:

The accommodations we received were not conducive to a restful stay. Over two nights, we spent more than $600, a significant expense for me as a teacher earning $2,010 monthly. I planned this getaway to celebrate Father’s Day with my husband, making it our sole vacation this year. While we enjoyed the charm of Old Town and attending a baseball game, our experience was marred by the poor condition of our room, specifically room 315, which was adjacent to the elevator shaft. The constant noise of the elevators throughout the night made it difficult to sleep, and the bed was uncomfortably firm, resulting in considerable shoulder pain for both of us. Additionally, we returned to find our room had not been cleaned by 5 PM on our second day, though we were able to request clean towels. The staff members were pleasant, but it was evident they were understaffed and overworked. For the high cost of the room, I expected a significantly better experience.

My home away from home on business
Pros:

This hotel is an older hotel in the area - I have been staying here on business for decades and it is because of their staff. Linda and Suni at the front desk greet me each time with a balance of professionalism and familiarity!
