While visiting Sacramento on a fishing trip I specifically booked a hotel with hot tub facilities.The hotel room was very old looking with chips of loose wood on doors carpet was not the cleanest,room had stale odor also ,I would have left but it was a Long drive back to San Francisco that night and was tired .I was so looking forward to getting into a hot tub to relax during trip ,that was supposed to be highlight of trip for me and my guest after a long day of fishing.To our dismay when we attempted to use hot tub it was very cold we waited but tub never heated up at all,manager was very nice he apologized which was appreciated but still no hot!! That was the last straw.I was very disappointed with accommodations.I was hoping to possibly get some type of credit,I’m planning another trip to Sacramento I normally stay in the downtown area of Sacramento at the Grand Sheraton …you can check my history..I very much enjoy hotels of that caliber but they don’t have a hot tub.I canceled booking I had for Dec 5th hoping I could get some type of remediation for next booking.If not I will use another service to book room in Sacramento.Ive been a customer of yours for some time now and never had a bad experience such as this hopefully you can help me out with next booking.I would like to re-book reservation for (Hilton Embassy Suites)I just canceled if possible…let me know asap if you can…Thank You..from loyal customer! ….Charles Helton

This was a comfortable, clean, good basic hotel at a reasonable price. The staff was friendly and seemed hard working. The gym was small but sufficient. The location makes for an easy drive to many locations around Sacramento.
