Parking was awful and I had a leg injury so the walking from the ramp was tough. The tub drained very slow. The noise from HVAC was disturbing. I did not sleep well.

The property was dated and a little grungy - the carpet in our room was stained and sticky and there were stains on the pillowcases and towels. The location was wonderful easy to get to everything and parking was awesome. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Nice staff that is there to help and get you what you need during your stay. I stayed one night to attend Aftershock 2024 and I needed my show wrist band snipped, and a staff member came up, and cut it off my wrist. Nice service.

Perfect location in downtown Sac
The location was perfect for our trip. We went to a concert at Golden One, so we were able to grab dinner and walk to the concert in minutes! The staff were welcoming and friendly. The beds were small and slightly uncomfortable. We selected to park in the parking garage, which wasn't far; however, we took the stairs to walk down to the hotel, and let's just say it was grossly unsanitary. It reeked of urine, and you have to pay attention to not step in urine.

It was amazing! Got to meet so many new people that were attending the same event! The works were so nice! Even had a situation where there was a man sitting outside our room we called the front desk and they sent security right up and had him removed fast!

Problem fixed quickly
Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Our rooms air conditioner was too loud (probably broken) and the fridge was leaking. The hotel immediately fixed the problem and quickly moved us to another room.

Check-in is at 3pm. We arrived at 3:05, tried to check-in. I was told room wasn’t quite ready to give them 5 minutes. Then I was told it was 30 after the 5 minutes had passed. Then the 30 minutes turned into 1 hour. After the 1 hour I was given a different room on a different floor then my relative as we wanted to be on the same floor. But their rooms wasn’t ready either. We all stayed in different floors. They were just unorganized I could tell.
