Paradise Vacations from $354

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.

The room was run down and dirty, there were several water leaks, and it was way overpriced ($140); it was bad. On the other hand, it was very convenient to downtown for the marathon and the front desk people were very kind and went out of their way to be accommodating, like offering a different room and allowing us to stay past the normal check out time.

It was as fine as it always is. I stop here frequently and am never disappointed. Thanks.

Clean room, polite staff, and nice amenities

I had a good stay at California Inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. Check in was smooth, and everything was well maintained. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would stay here again.
