18.4/10 Exceptional! (1,239 reviews)
Fabulous room loved the upgrade. We have stayed in the past and enjoyed the proximity to the Golden One center and all the benefits and people watching after the game we like to go to Echo + Riq for a snack and drink but there was terrible service by the hostess. Not the vibe we have experienced in the past. Didn’t seem like they wanted any other customers. Sad. Really.

8.2/10 Very Good! (884 reviews)
The room and hotel were good. It was right in downtown so it made it very convenient to walk, we even walked to UC Davis. The only thing we did not like was the breakfast, it was very limited and the egg was not good, no flavor. The french toast was cold. Not what we expected at all

Empire Mine State Historic Park protects the largest, deepest, and richest mines in the California Gold Rush period and operated from 1850 - 1956. It produced 5.8 Million ounces of gold that was extracted from 367 miles of passages. It also houses the exquisite "Cottage" built between 1898 and 1905 with beautiful extensive stately formal and informal gardens with fountains surrounding the home. Although the grounds, Cottage, and Mine are impressive, the picture shown stands out in the photos of the garden. #Nature
