"Bueno"

Hyatt House Sacramento/Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay!!"

Inn & Spa at Parkside

10/10 Excellent

"We had a nice stay! Free parking on the street right outside the inn. They give you a parking permit once you check in. Good location. About 20min walk to Golden 1 arena. Nice clean rooms"

Kimpton Sawyer Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel in Sacramento!"

Delta King Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for the Tyler Childers concert at Golden 1 Center. Delta king Hotel is great! It was fun to stay on a real boat in a boat cabin. Small and quaint, but a good time. Bathroom was clean. And even my husband said the bed was comfortable, that means a lot! Valet parking only but is was worth it as we were in Old Town Sac and 8 minute walk to the concert venue, even for this 63 yr old lady. The boat restaurant was charming except it was hot in there. Food looked good, will return to eat there in the future. We received 2 free drink vouchers at check -in, that was a nice surprise. We ordered and sat outside of the bar/restaurant as it was cooler outside. Also, the bar/restaurant is not real big so it held the late afternoon sun heat in. We would stay again. Oh! The ramp to access the boat was sturdy newly planked and an easy, smooth walk."

Hyatt Regency Sacramento

"The staff were extremely accommodating and gave us an early check in, and a late checkout. This was a great location for our concert and walking to. The water front. Recommend 👍"
