When I checked in the front desk associate didn't give me the full rundown on anything around the property. I never got a site map, any information about breakfast, where the laundry room was, nothing. We did check in around 10pm, but I'm surprised we didn't get that info. Anytime my husband and I called the front desk, most associates were short and not very friendly. Information posted does not corroborate information given, e.g. when I called down they said breakfast starts at 7:30am, but there is a sign near the bar area that says breakfast starts at 6:00am. The rooms were subpar at best. We like to stay at Holiday Inns because usually they are clean and well-kempt, the staff is usually nice, and breakfast is always included. There were so many different dusty areas in the room, the lights and vent in the bathroom, there was an exposed panel that looked like it was being worked on but the metal was never covered up and the dry wall looked like it wasn't finished. The blackout curtain had rips in it, and the window had a lock that was broken. The Cyprus Grille inside the hotel seems like it's only open for breakfast, and possibly also dinner but we never saw it open at that time. However, the hostess at the grill is sweet. The front desk associate that checked us out didn't even ask me how our stay was, and we noticed they had a different demeanor when they spoke with people in business suites, opposed to myself and my family. Very disappointed and don't recommend.

The location was perfect. It allowed us to walk to our destinations. It is perfectly located for Old Sacramento and the Golden 1 Center. The strafff was very friendly and accommodating to all of our needs and requests. The rooms were fine. The whole hotel could use a little update on rooms. On a whole the lobby was decorated nice and the ambience was perfect. The family enjoyed their stay. Thanks to the wonderful front desk, the bell hops, and manager who greeted us each day.

Had a room on the 8th floor this time around and loved it. From the front desk staff, to the housekeepers and other hotel in between are alwsys, polite and professional. This is one of my favorite places to stay when im visiting Sacramento. King bed with sofa nice and roomy, had a great view of all the coming and going from old sac. Less than 5-10 min walk to restaurants, Golden 1 center and K st where all the action happens!! The only negatives is that the hotel needs a makeover most of the rooms are old and dated other than that it’s a great hotel mid range 3 star!

Far too noisy, right off a loud highway. I asked the front desk person to put me in a room far away from the highway. She agreed but then when I went to the room they gave me, it was one room away from the highway. I responded back to them and was only given "Sorry" and not alternative. Rooms were also available. Hotel is old and not in great shape. Bright side was the Restaurant staff for breakfast was great! Also, it is a decent location as you can walk the tunnel to old sacramento...but that walk can be sketchy as there are homeless. It is very close and easy walk to the Golden 1 as well. However, I would not stay here again. Its not great nor good.
