Extremly overpriced basic stay
Pros:

The restaurant while limted options the food was amazing, staff was very friendly. Location to where I needed to be was within walking distance.

Cons:

While the hotel itself was clean it was in no way shape or form worth the $290 + the parking charge to park in the hotel lot for the hotel I just paid to stay at. Rooms were just basic with basic amenities, not the cleanest yet not the worst either, there is no room service, no shuttle or car service for basic transportation. While the restaurant/bar food was great they close relatively early, with not real options for food nearby along with surrounding area was riddled with homeless so plan to order in or go without..Might seem like petty complaints, but for the plus $300 one woukd expect a room that wows you with services that make you feel money was well spent. Such a disappointment for the ridiculous price

Pros:

Stayed here before it’s a awesome place

Cons:

It was more of the noisy neighbors
Seemed like they were having a get together

Great for location purposes only.
Pros:

The location and the staff were the only redeeming qualities of this hotel. It is pretty run-down, and the cleanliness was subpar. The location is perfect for Golden One, Sutter Health Park, and Old Town Sac though.

Cons:

The rooms and facilities need updating. The beds were uncomfortable, and the bathtub leaked all night long. There was a small refrigerator in the room that also leaked all over the floor and smelled really bad.

Pros:

The staff was great, especially the breakfast area. The buffet breakfast was really good with real eggs, good smoked bacon, good French toast, and fruit. Room is a little noisy due to the surrounding Sacramento area. Close by was the concert hall and several restaurants to choose from. We will stay there again if attending more concerts.

Cons:

Room was a little noisy due to the surrounding Sacramento area

The Holiday Inn was very nice. It was very busy so the staff wasn’t very personal but overall, we are very happy.
Pros:

Clean . Good location.

Cons:

The parking was very odd and having to pay for it and not be advised was kind of disheartening

Pros:

Professional staff.

Cons:

Many things in our room need to be fixed. Towel rack kept coming apart. Old iron board left marks on clothes. Too few outlets and most were blocked by furniture. When taking a shower the tub was barely draining so you had to stand in dirty water.
