Residence Inn by Marriott Sacramento Downtown at Capitol Park

Location, staff, and room were great.

Common areas and elevators were a little shabby. Breakfast was ok, but I suspect powdered eggs, which don’t taste great, and potatoes were undercooked some days.

We were in Sacramento for my nieces graduation from law school. We picked the Residence Inn because of the location to the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium (an easy 2 block walk) and because there were 3 of us and there was a sofa bed (they do not have double double OR queen queen rooms). Finding the parking garage for the hotel was a little weird because we passed by the entrance to it the first time but once in, it was an easy walk across the drive area to the front doors. Beware…the majority of the parking spots in the garage seemed like they were mostly for compact car and we had an SUV so we had to go all the way to the 5th floor in order to get a spot that the SUV would fit in okay. Check in was easy and we went up to our room. The room was a good size: a kitchen, living room, desk space, bedroom and bathroom with the sink on the outside, which was helpful! My mom and I were going to share the king bed and my stepfather was going to sleep on the sofa bed and that was when we realized that there was no air vent on the bedroom side, only on the living room side. Being that my stepfather is always cold, it was inconvenient to have to deal with the air on the one side and us not getting any getting air. I did call down for a fan and Housekeeping was able to bring me a box fan to use. Thank goodness because it did get warm on the in the evening and was hard to sleep! I would have to suggest that in the bathroom where the shower and toilet are, some kind of shelves or other storage be added as there was really nowhere to set anything down. The towels were a great size and not those tiny little one you usually get most places! Breakfast was okay…they had a good assortment of stuff, including pancakes and oatmeal. Nothing cooked to order but if you are hungry, it will tide you over! The weird thing was we were at the hotel after graduation and wanted to order some drinks then sit in the lobby sitting lounge…the bartender told us that since the bar was not a part of the hotel, we would be unable to do that, which made NO sense because the night before there were a ton of people, with drinks AND food, sitting in the lobby lounge and not in the bar! We ended up having to buy bottle of water, bottle of soda and some chips, which was again, weird! The staff was super helpful and very friendly! They did do whatever they could do to make our stay a good one!

We liked the location and the room. For price good place to stay in Sacramento

I didn’t like that some of the areas in the shower were not clean

Clean, friendly, free breakfast, central location

Everything was good
