Excellent well appointed hotel.
Pros:

Great hotel, really nice location on the banks of the river, beautiful grounds and very peaceful considering its in the city. The location with easy access to the interstate makes it perfect for traveling through.
The room was excellent, the staff were really friendly and helpful. I was traveling with a pet so not always easy to make eating arrangements, the hotel went out of its way to help me.

Just the relaxation we needed...
Pros:

Just a romantic getaway for my husband and I. We recently stayed at this hotel and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, intimate, and thoughtfully designed for couples looking to relax and reconnect.

The room was comfortable and just the right touches to make it feel special without being overdone. We especially loved the little details—like the cozy seating area and the view, which made mornings and evenings equally enjoyable.

Service was exceptional throughout our stay. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, always making sure we had everything we needed. It really added to the special moment we needed to capture for the Valentine's holiday.

The biggest draw for us was that the space felt fresh the moment we walked in—surfaces were spotless, the linens were crisp and smelled clean, and even the small details (like mirrors, fixtures, and corners) were clearly well taken care of. The bathroom in particular was pristine, with no signs of wear or neglect, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy our stay. It gave us a lot of confidence in the overall quality and care the hotel puts into their guest experience.

Overall, this was exactly what we were hoping for in a romantic getaway—comfortable, peaceful, and memorable. We’d absolutely recommend it to any couple looking for a special place to spend quality time together, and we’re already thinking about coming back.

Great Experience
Pros:

Room was clean as well as the property. Front desk staff was very cheerful both at checkin and checkout. The food at Scott's was good. On the higher price but large portions. Had leftovers. Loved the Riverview room and the pool was amazing. Wish I had time for a massage. Next time for sure.

Excellent stay at this gem!
Pros:

So friendly at the front desk, upgraded to a very nice suite, pool opens early, nice workout room, the grounds are clean and peaceful. Room was quiet with daily room refresh. I like like this place a lot. Good restaurant on site. Spa closes at 3 on Monday, closed on Tuesday so I wasn't able to enjoy it.

Rest and relaxation!
Pros:

Staff was friendly and kind! The atmosphere is calming, the rooms are generously inviting and the beds were super comfy! But the best part was the spa! I was very well taken care during my two night at this resort!

One of my best stays in Sacramento!
Pros:

I've stayed in 5 different hotels in Sacramento over the years for business.
Although isolated, great place to stay. River view quieter, walking trails, on site restaurant just ok, convenient. Rooms clean and comfortable. Parking pricey. Great lounge in lobby for visiting, gratis choice of water: sparkling, filtered, healthy. Spacious rooms. Clean and modern. We were there for birthday celebration/reunion. Staff was very obliging. They have banquet facilities and lawn in back for kids to play. Can check out soccer balls, cornhole bags, bicycles etc at front desk. Enjoyed the benefits of my Titanium status with Marriott.

Pros:

The room was clean with a modern interior. The bed was very comfortable, and I also had a bathtub, which was nice.

Cons:

There was an unsightly crack on my room's ceiling. The valet parking cost around $50, and I wasn't informed of this fee during check-in, which I find somewhat unfair.

Great luxury hotel with terrific staff
Pros:

My 90 year old mom and I were looking for a fancy hotel overlooking the Sacramento river close to where her father grew up. We found the Westin in Sacramento fit our needs. We arrived and were happy their were sweet kind boys to help us unload and valet our car to a safe spot. Worth the money not to have to worry about our car. We loved the sweet staff at the front desk and the kind informative Manager Ryan, i think was his name. Anyway our room had a gorgeous view of the Sacramento River and we just loved being able to look out. Our room was clean amd cozy. We were happy with the big bed and soft white sheets. The tv was nice and big and I liked the wine bar 🍷. The immaculate o bathroom had a big old fashioned bath tub and I was so happy to get into that! We went to their spa ans got massages and after a nice nap, we then went to eat at Scott's Seafood grill. The food was outstanding and I felt like this vacation is turning out to be lovely. Mom felt happy and safe and we were very pleased there was a refrigerator in the room to put our leftovers and a few things we had brought. We stayed for two days and it was a weekend so when we had to leave we wanted to stay lol. I strongly recommend this place amd although it may cost a little more for luxury, ot was well worth the great service the whole staff provided. Kudos to the people who made this trip possible. I plan on coming back again with my older sister.

Wonderful!!!!
Pros:

The hotel was clean and beautiful. The recent decor upgrade is fabulous. The lobby has a long gas fireplace with comfortable seating & reading material. You can indulge in coffee or wine while you relax. The restaurant has amazing seafood and lots of salad options. My room had a balcony with a river view. I would definitely stay here again!

It "felt" like staff enjoyed harassing me and gaslighting me.
Pros:

Cleanliness and location.

Cons:

The unprofessional staff were rude, gaslit me, some were kind, but most were challenged in the customer service department and it seemed like the manager enjoyed it. I was reprimanded by the manager of valet for parking in the wrong area the wrong way- without realizing his staff had parked it for me. Go figure...
