I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit snug, were large, clean, and tastefully decorated. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, despite a disappointing breakfast experience. The location exceeded my expectations, close to various attractions, but some safety concerns arose due to the neighborhood. Dining options were pricey but connected to the hotel. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and challenges.

The hotel has some ups and downs. The rooms are decent, although they seem a bit outdated. The service can be slow, but the staff know their stuff. The location is a bit sketchy with some homeless people around, yet it's handy for exploring Sacramento. The dining experience, especially the options for breakfast, could use some improvement.
