I loved that this river boat was converted into a hotel. The rehab was well done and amenities comparable to other hotels nearby. I would book again but knowing the city-side gets noisy in the evening and weekends. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this isn’t the place. If you are not a fan of bugs flying in your room from leaving the door open for seconds, this is not the place. Next time, I’m bringing my own bug zapper. The manager could easily do this but the problem is shrugged off as being normal for being near the water. Unacceptable. I’m allergic to mosquitoes. The staff was not particularly helpful. I found out the last day of my stay that there was a whole museum on the deck below. The restaurant looks really nice but the food (I had) was average to no seasoning. Again, it’s a great experience for a few nights. Longer if you stay in the lake side and bring a bug zapper. And there are plenty of places to eat nearby. Sacramento is beautiful. Old Sac is really cool. Delta King is an experience to be taken for what it is and nothing more.

Easy check in with super helpful staff. We liked the room and the decor. The outdoor seating at the bar and grill looking at the river was fabulous. We will be back!

I know, it’s a boat. That means people walk around 2 feet from your ears. The walkway lights illuminate the room all night. Suffice to saw i was sleep deprived at my family event. Never again.

The room smelled. When I asked how to turn the air conditioner off they said in summer ‘it’s on’ and in winter the heater is on. No way to adjust it. They brought me blankets but I slept terribly. For $250 they said I had a City View. I had the view of the backside of the stairwell. I would never stay here again.

Scenic and memorable, exceptional location!

This is one of my favorite places to stay in all of the U.S. It's not just a hotel, it's a throwback to a bygone day. It's in Old Sacramento right now to the scenic yellow Tower Bridge — so once you check out the boat, be sure to walk around and enjoy the quaint shops and restaurants immediately adjacent to the boat. I go to Sacramento simply to stay on the Delta King! The locals know what a gem it is — they solve mysteries on it, school kids come to check it out and people regularly stop their strolls to take photos in front of it. Stay there, it will be a great memory.

Unique and interesting hotel with very cool history. The room is small but expected as it’s a river boat. It’s a little worn so it would be nice to see a little sprucing up. Definitely some new mattresses would be an improvement. My biggest complaint would be the lack of air in the room. We weren’t able to open the windows for fresh air and it got pretty stuffy. I would imagine the summers must be brutal. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the property was mostly clean (maybe pay attention to corners). All in all we had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

The Delta King is like 100 years old, so the facilities, while small, were about what you would expect for being an old steamboat turned into a hotel. It's very cool & unique but the spaces and doorways are tiny and obviously old-fashioned, so plan accordingly. The bed was not very comfortable and the bathroom didn't even come with soap, though, so that was a bit disappointing. The staff was friendly and the bar was a great spot to sit & enjoy some cocktails & yummy food. FYI - we did NOT expect the sea lions and how much noise they made literally ALL night long. I guess that's why there were ear plugs left next to the bed. Even with the ear plugs and white noise on our phone, you could still hear the sea lions barking all night. That being said, it's a very unique stay.

The hotel was interesting. Definitely a unique experience. Our room was on the first floor. We could hear people coming and going all night. (The walls are very thin.) The entry doors are very heavy, so they are loud when closing. The sea lions also kept us up a couple nights. We tried to get drinks and appetizers at the bar. The bartender seemed overwhelmed and never helped us. So we went elsewhere.

If you don't like listening to sea lions making noise most of the night, don't stay at the Delta King. Also, the rooms are tiny, even without a desk. You'll have to hang your clothing up on hangers on the wall to the side of your room. The ceiling in the bathroom is so low, you can cut your hand on the fire-sprinkler head in the bathroom while drying off from the shower (I did). Otherwise, it is a quaint experience, especially if you only stay one or two nights. The staff is friendly and everything is clean. It is convenient to Old Town, but your call will be shuttled back and forth from a parking structure a block or so away, for a $30 per day charge for that privilege. I wouldn't go back, but more or less happy to have experienced it for a few days. My interest in the area was that it is walking distance to the baseball stadium.
