Very pleasant.
Pros:

Staff was very nice and helpful. Location great! Easy walk from the train station and Old Sacramento.

Cons:

Bed was a little soft for our taste. Air conditioner was making a lot of noise, but staff showed up almost immediately, agreed it was too loud, and moved us to another room without needing to return to the check-in desk. Didn’t have breakfast there because the cost was too high.

Closer to Golden 1 than I thought!
Pros:

Location was perfect for an event at the Golden 1 Center. It is on a walkway that connects Old Town to the event center. The parking was not very convenient and we were charged $35/night to park quite far from our room. They had a side entrance that would have helped, but it was out of order. The breakfast was good. It was a nice buffet and our server was very sweet. I would stay again for an event at Golden 1 Center.

Decent for the price
Pros:

The staff was the best thing about the hotel. They were very accommodating and on top of any issues. The beds were comfy and rooms clean. The noise from the freeway is a con. Bring ear plugs. Breakfast had a good variety of hot/cold. Self parking in a nearby garage is $35. They have a small heated pool and a gym equipped with treadmills, ellipticals and weights. The hotel could use an update/remodel. Tip: avoid room 623 and get a higher level room closer to the DOCO side.

Cons:

Noise from the freeway
