During your Sacramento vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

California State Capitol
Closely resembling a scale model of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., the beautiful, domed California state capitol was built in 1869 and renovated in 1976. Sacramento's most distinctive landmark, the capitol has been the stage of many political dramas in California history. The 1-hour guided tours provide insight into the building's architecture and the workings of the government it houses. Note: Security will ask you to put your purse or backpack through a metal detector.

California State Railroad Museum
Well worth visiting, this museum is the highlight of Old Sacramento. You won't miss much if you bypass the memorabilia displays and head straight for the museum's 105 shiny locomotives and rail cars, beautiful antiques that are true works of art. Afterward, you can watch a 20-minute film on the history of the Western railroads that's quite good, then peruse related exhibits that tell the amazing story of the building of the transcontinental railroad. This museum is not just for train buffs: Over half a million people visit each year, and even the hordes of schoolchildren that typically mob this place shouldn't dissuade you from visiting one of the largest and best railroad museums in the country. Allow about 2 hours to see it all.From April to September, on weekends and holidays from 11am to 5pm, steam locomotive rides carry passengers 6 miles along the Sacramento River. Trains depart on the hour from the Central Pacific Freight Depot in Old Sacramento, at K and Front streets. Fares are $6 for adults and children ages 13 and older, $3 for children 6 to 12, and free for children under 6.

Crocker Art Museum
This museum houses an outstanding collection of California art, as well as changing exhibits from around the world. It's in an imposing century-old Italianate building, with an ornate interior of carved and inlaid woods. The Crocker Mansion Wing, the museum's most recent addition, is modeled after the Crocker family home and contains works by Northern California artists from 1945 to the present. Plan to spend about an hour here.

Redone and wonderful

Dana, Sacramento, CA, 2006-09-19

Near Old Sacramento, downtown Sacramento, the Sacramento Airport. Great location.

The Best Western Sandman Motel was redone since last I was there. What a change! The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and fresh, and I would definitely stay there again.

What a Dump!

Bruce, 2006-05-23

1. If you go into Old Sacramento, do not eat at Annabelle's. They have the dirtiest restaurant, which serves disgusting pizza and pasta. Instead, go to Round Table. 2. The candy store by the schoolhouse in Old Sacramento lets you eat samples of tons of their candy (for free!). 3. Sutter's Fort: double-check prices!

Upon our arrival, we were overcome by a very strong smell of bleach in our room and had to leave the fan on and the window open the rest of the day. Our family of four stayed here, sharing a queen-sized bed and a sofa-bed. The sofa-bed was broken on one corner and we had to stack sofa cushions underneath that section, so our feet didn't fall through. Another section had broken springs, which meant we had to layer towels underneath the mattress, so we wouldn't be able to feel them. The queen-sized bed felt like it was made of concrete and was very lumpy (as were the pillows). Needless to say, none of us slept that night. Prior to our arrival, we requested extra blankets, which were not provided. When we asked the desk clerk, he gave us one and told us he would provide another, which never arrived. We had to ask for extra towels, as they only provided enough for two people. The grounds and koi pond were unkempt and gross, as was the pool, which was full of filth and totally unusable.

This is close to downtown and Old Sacramento. Try Joe's Crab Shack which is a short drive from the hotel.

The hotel is quiet and located right by the river with a gated entrance to the River Walk. After the first night I did have to change rooms because the people upstairs could be heard walking around. Over all it was restful, which is why I chose this property. Also, they are pet friendly.

Very close and convenient to downtown Sacramento

Anonymous, 2006-05-10

Old Town Sacramento is only a couple minute drive or 15 minute walk along the Sacramento River. Once you arrive at Old Town, there are numerous restaurants to dine and great shopping, not to mention a good lesson on California's 19th century history.

Not only was the Best Western Sandman easy to locate and close to the state capitol, it was very clean, inviting and affordable. The staff were very knowledgable and hospital. The hotel also included a generous breakfast, as an additional value added service. I also liked the fact that the guest rooms included a sofa with coffee table which allowed me to work on my computer in a more relaxed manner rather than having to sit at a desk in the corner of the room. Overall, a great stay for the value!

Great for Short Stay

Anonymous, Seattle, WA, 2006-03-30

There's a nice walking trail along the river just behind hotel!

I was pleased that this hotel offered a free shuttle to and from the airport (between 9am and 7pm.) They also had a free continental breakfast and free wireless high speed internet. For the price, no other hotel offered as near as many amenities. Great choice, clean, simple, and a great value. Highly Recommend!

Large, comfortable room

Anonymous, 2005-11-04

There is a restaurant next door, and at least two other restaurants and fast food places nearby.

The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. There were several nice touches, such as iron and ironing board, hair dryer, coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave. This is a good location, as there is easy access to downtown without actually being downtown. The location just off the freeway is also nice.

Great Overall Comfort and Value

Anonymous, 2005-10-06

The Best Western Sandman was a very comfortable, functional, and pretty room. The granite countertop in the bathroom was beautiful and the extended/rounded shower curtain rod provide a nice amount of extra room in the shower (no cold, wet, body-clinging curtain). The 2 chairs and table provided a nice amount of extra room and comfort. Having a real closet with mirrored doors was a nice bonus. The hotel is located just a mile or two from downtown with quite a few restaurants within walking distance.
