So, after a horrible experience with my reservations at Extended Stay, I had Orbitz contact Holiday Inn to see if they could switch my 2 rooms to Holiday Inn. I was on hold for a bit with Orbitz, so I called directly while still on hold with her and Seth answered and confirmed he was actually speaking to them, but to go ahead and come on over and he'd help us out. He advised me he was closing out the previous night (because it was now after 3am...after a 8 hr drive from LA & spending 1 hr at Extended Stay trying to get our reservations fixed), but to head over. We hop back in our cars & make the 10 minute drive. As we walk in, I ask for Seth & I hear him answer from the other end. He was just finishing up the close-out & got us checked in right away. He was able to get us side-by-side rooms (7 ppl), which was not extremely important to us by this time, but was greatly appreciated. Rooms were clean, stocked and beds comfy...although I probably could have slept on bricks by this time and with my level of frustration with Extended Stay. We awoke to only find 1 coffee cup, but my boyfriend went downstairs and they sent someone right up with more. My sisters room next door was also clean & comfy and stocked well. I have stayed here twice before for different family events & both additional times have been great as well. Next time I will not second guess myself and just go ahead and book with HI the first time around. Thanks again Seth for saving our night!
This place was BIZZEEE when we arrived! But in spite of that, and the construction cones in the parking lot, we were taken care of fast and friendly! Great bar with nice food. The room was spacious and clean. Close to Old Town Sac and the new Event Center! That's it! I would definitely recommend.
Like: - staff, for the most part - location - breakfast & restaurant staff Dislike: - some furniture in room didn't fit - office chair very uncomfortable and wrong height for desk/table thing - no outlets near bed - staff person tried to deliver complimentary snack but pounded not knocked the door, and didn't announce himself. Very strange. - shower diverter dripped. Annoying noise - no mini fridge for my leftovers
We picked to this hotel because we were going to a concert at the golden one arena and this hotel was the perfect location to be able to walk safely. Also this hotel is very close to old town Sacramento within walking distance
Hotel within 2 blocks of train station old sac and golden one center and Starbucks
To begin, you may pay $24/night for valet parking or use the parking garage and pay 1/2 that per night. Secondly, check-in staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel dining very convenient and somewhat affordable.
Hotel has minimal amenities. Restaurant food is overpriced and tasteless. Airline food would be better. Desk chair in room is far too low (unless you like a desk at chin height....) Rollers on chair are not suited for carpet, so it is difficult to position chair. (Carpet rollers have to be ball type, not cylinder type. Holiday Inn opted for the cheap roller (cynlinder) so chair has to be lifted and dragged into place.)
This location is great for games or events at the new Golden 1 center and the downtown area of Sacramento. The bed sucks, the size of the bathroom was small. You're paying for location. Golden 1 Center is 1 block away and historical downtown is right next to it, with tons of food and bar options. Parking is a fee, if you have a large Truck or lifted vehicle you have to valet or else you're truck won't fit in the parking garage. I booked this room through orbitz and they double charged my card, if I hadn't noticed they would have just left it. Overall, 220$ for the room was excessive it's a room I shouldn't have paid more than 150$ for.
Perfect place to stay if your going to events at new Golden 1 Arena, lots of restaurant options and walking distance to old Town.
The valet staff they were very helpful and friendly . It took a really long time to check in there was one person in front of me. And when I went to check out it took even longer there was only one person in front of me it was extremely slow and frustrating . Wish the bar had a happy hour. But other than that I would recommend a hotel right location .
Nice location, decent rooms. Sort of pricy for a holiday inn but nice.
It was a good hotel, just very busy, our check in time was at 3pm, but we arrived a little early to check in but our room wasn't ready, we ended up waiting hour and a half!
This hotel is 8 blocks from the capitol West Steps and footsteps from a Macy's store. There is a restaurant in the building, which is ok offering current and popular fare.
Staff was fantastic, polite, helpful. Location was perfect. Easy walk to marathon start at Raley field. Amenities...no fridge in room and oddly, no liners in trash cans. Otherwise, room was clean and comfortable.
There were bugs in the room, and couldn't rest. The staff wouldn't compensate me for my one night stay being I had to fly out the next morning.
I was very comfortable great pillows The staff was excellent
Pretty decent hotel with average rooms and amenities. However location is awesome and very close to old Sacramento. Plenty of things to do and eat in the area.
Like old town and area. Perfect location to relax, shop, dine and go to laughs unlimited comedy club.
Very clean hotel and great staff we would stay again
Staff to a person were friendly and helpful. Very clear on directions, parking, tips and 'tricks' of getting around. Layout is a bit odd when you check-in if you have a car. There are some shops and mall across from the hotel and a bit run down, but I didn't have any problems - just a visual thing.
