The room was dirty, staff was no help when we tried to check out early, and refused to refund us the second night, even though we checked out before check out time the day before. Orbitz even called them to ask for a waiver, and the hotel manager said no

Decent hotel, but could use an update. The bed was mediocre at best. The staff, however, was very polite. I was very bothered by paying $35 per night to park in the adjacent garage - especially when I discovered the daily max is $32 to pay directly.

We stayed for 4 nights but housekeeping only came once. We reminded her on our way out (second day) to clean our room and she did but that was the last. Twice we had to call and request for fresh towels. The bed is okay. Parking is not $25 as advertised in Expedia. It’s either $35 (garage) or $45 (express — right in front of the lobby). I liked the location. Old Sacramento is right next door. Lots of dining options too. Breakfast buffet if okay ($29.95) and we tried it once. For the rest of our stay we went to Roots Coffee for breakfast. I will stay here again.
