Hotels Near Old Chinatown Square in Sacramento

Overall: would stay again! Nice hotel, room, bar, food, very convenient location. LOCATION: Convenient! Right next to DOCO and the Golden 1 Center. Old Sac is a few minutes walk away. Public transport nearby. HOTEL: The decor was a lovely, sophisticated, modern take on various historical periods. Music is a theme, nodding to the historic past of the building. Balcony bar - Art Deco. Clean, eye-catching, charming. Emerald velvet chairs and gold-toned metal accents, whimsical 1920’s & ‘30’s music playing overhead, and servers dressed in simple roaring ‘20’s attire. Menu: Small bites. Phyllo baked brie, oysters, ahi poke, short ribs, Asian lettuce wraps, and more. 1st floor restaurant - “7th Street Standard”, is the name. Bright & elegant with simplicity. This restaurant can be a standalone; it’s better than a “hotel restaurant” in food quality, artistry, and presentation. Didn’t eat here this time, but have before. I recall everything being good! Great drinks last time!! Had happy hour drinks this time ($10), still great! Handcrafted, fresh, subtle sweetness for balance, nothing syrupy or fake-colored (reg price $15). Happy hour food and drinks available 3-6pm. Full menu includes trout, salmon, pork belly, and other goodies. ROOM: I like the decor. The lamps were cool: gold dipped bulbs, bronze-colored cones, retro meets are deco feel. There’s a handy motion-censored light under the bathroom vanity when you don’t want to turn on a bright light at night, light-framed mirror for easy getting ready, spacious bathroom. Views from my particular room were not worth seeing. Good blackout curtains in-room, lots of natural light when open. Bathroom basics included: shampoo, conditioner, lotion soap. Not included: q-tips, cotton balls, etc. The mini fridge could fit some small leftover food boxes. Plenty of outlets near the bed. I don’t recall any food snacks offered for sale. $5 Fiji. Open rack closet, and drawers available. I believe my room was 320 sqft, with enough space to roll out a mat and do a room workout, if that’s your thing (or gym on 4th floor). AREA OFFERINGS: There’s a Starbucks Reserve steps from the hotel and many places to eat, drink & entertain within easy walking distance (steakhouse, bowling alley, movies, rooftop pool bar, beer vault, and SO much more!). While it’s a nice area (million-dollar condos and attractions next door), another block over in one direction becomes a not-so-nice area (homelessness and refuse), so just be mindful of what direction you’re heading, if that bothers you. PARKING: There are unattended daily parking lots right next to the hotel ($13-$16ish/10hrs), hourly metered parking, attended hourly/daily lots, valet ($40 seems to get you 2-day parking with in & out privileges; I valeted early evening, pickup needed before 2:45-ish a.m. on the third day). Valet had a very easy texting system. They texted me my valet ticket with a clickable link to call my car when desired. The link let me know the progress of my incoming car (“requested”, “on the way”, “ready”), so I knew exactly when I needed to head out and could enjoy my time until then. You can tip through the link, too.

Clean and well organized. Large space and newly opened. Worth to stay

Facilities: Good spare parts, malin goetz is a brand I like very much. Shower gel is the taste of rum. Hygienic: very clean Service: Very good, very late at night, there are night cookie and drinks downstairs.

NO SLEEP! NO AC! Stay Away! We were here for one night and paid $200 for this dreadful 2-star property. It looks like nice enough on the surface, but that superficial veneer is soon shattered. The bed was a saggy back-breaking torture device. Your spine will not soon recover from your stay. The AC worked well enough until we tried to turn it off. Maintenance could not get the thermostat to work either; she yanked the entire cover off of the AC unit and disconnected something inside. She said it might be the thermostat battery. So why not simply replace it??? By 2am it was so hot in our room on the fourth floor, I tried to turn on just the fan, but the entire system had been disabled. Tried to open the window, but only opens 2 INCHES! It was suffocatingly stuffy and hot in the room. At 4 o’clock in the morning some awful rumbling started; the windows were actually vibrating. I got up and looked out the window. Apparently, they are next door to a massive big rig trucking hub. At 4am they turn on the engine of every single truck there and just let them idle for hours until they’re needed—that night there were 14 deafening diesel monsters. It was so bad I left my husband in the bed and crawled over to the sofa. A truly, truly horrible experience. What made matters even worse was when I spoke with Terry Stewart on the phone, the property’s sales manager, after we had returned home. He was defensive, pissy and utterly unhelpful. I realize they have no control over their neighbors, however, all we asked for was a QUIET room— that was our ONLY request. They could’ve put us on the other side of the hotel away from the entire fleet of NOISY diesel big rigs. His response to the problem with the AC was to get very hostile and aggressively demand “You told them to turn it off!!!!! Right, right? DIDN’T YOU!!!!!!??????” No, I didn’t. I asked them to FIX it so we had control over the room temperature for the duration of our night. This location is absolute rubbish. Management is hostile and rude if you have an issue. Stay away. If you require Springhill Suites, there’s another one less than 10 minutes away that’s more highly rated and must be quieter.

It seems that my previous gratifying experiences with Courtyard --both the US and Europe-- were no indication of how this stay in Sacramento would be. Worst would have to be the surprise expense that there is a $20 charge for each day one stays here and uses the parking lot. Unpleasant would have to be that meals from the bar are indifferent, uninspired, awkward. (Why does personnel appear to be disgruntled?) Not great would be the oversized to the point of useless ”chair” furnishing the room. Hard pillows? But of course. This is a general complaint about all hotels these days: there is a pretense to being up to date, yet there were not enough electric outlets to charge the array of devices some of us have with us. Also, with luggage taking all surfaces, where is one to sit while doing anything? A positive was that the Amana heater functioned well. It was not loud as so many others are.

The hotel is very new, it will be opened for half a year, the facilities environment is absolutely not said, but the room still has formaldehyde smell, if you stay in a few months, it should be better, there is an airport shuttle bus

This hotel have very big room and clean and it’s right next to the airport but still have no sound

Kudos Holiday Inn Express Sacramento, specifically the staff. These people are absolutely amazing. All staff has been very accommodating professional friendly and knowledgeable. Rooms are nice and clean. Very spacious. Property is safe and secure with what I've seen.
