Such a cute hotel with a rich history displayed! It's run more like an AirBNB if you show up after hours - with a lock box holding your room key. The room was quite large and the tub was for two! We did end up reporting mold in the tub grout and a dirty handprint above the toilet. They were very generous and are going to report the issues to housekeeping. I would stay again (hopefully with some improved cleaning practices) as it was quiet and had a comfortable mattress. They had a great tea selection in the lobby along with coffee and water bottles. The downtown location and fair price was a major factor in our choice. What we didn't consider, is that there is no off street parking so you will have to find a parking garage or run downstairs at 8:00 a.m. to pay at the meter like we did. Overall a good experience and the front desk attendant was super nice when we saw her in the morning at checkout.

Had a great stay at the hotel. Our family had 3 rooms. They were comfortable. Each room had its own character and enormous tub! In our room, we could hear the wedding. For the other two, they heard all the city noise, sirens, etc. I would stay here again.

We chose this hotel because of its uniqueness and its location in the heart of Sacramento. We found it to be lovely, restful, and great for walking. On the way to Sacramento we read some less-than-great reviews, so were a bit apprehensive when we arrived, but found that we had everything we needed. There was no staff member on-site in the evening, and we had no unmet needs, but we were given a number to text if we needed anything. We were on the second floor, and found that it took the hot water a while to arrive, but we eventually did get good, hot water for showers. Our biggest problem was parking, which can add quite a bit to the price of the room. If you do feel you have found free parking, be sure to check the signs, especially those written in red. We made the mistake of parking in a good space on a day that was prohibited because of street cleaning, and the parking ticket is very expensive.

Quirky but not awful! Bed was SO comfy! Bathroom was divine. Building very old but cool! Weird thing was NO staff on site period… not even sure we saw anyone the next day. You get a check in code but no front staff nada! Just wish we’d known. The downstairs bar area was open but again unstaffed and had an odd gas smell. Downtown was a quick uber. Overall quiet and comfy! Would book again!

When you turn on the tv, the direct tv gives you directions to realign the tv if you want to climb on the roof to do it. The thermostat can only be set to a range of about 6 degrees so it warms up then cools way down the warms way back up again. The staff leaves at 4:30 so anything after that is tough luck until the next day. Also there is no hotel parking so you have to do paid parking so factor the parking cost about $30 - $40 a day to your cost. I will not stay there again.
