    Rooftop pool.

    Disappointing. It's pricey and I genuinely had hoped for a better experience. Thinking upscale hotel and packed accordingly. No face soap! Seriously?! And here for two days. Ugh! Front desk couldn't have cared less which equates to me not investing in the Kimpton brand again. So sad, they used to be someplace special and worth more dollars. The room had multiple dents/scratches/and an unpleasant smell. It was also an oven. Called guest services but no one showed up. Miserable night of minimal sleep. Called next day and it was only temporarily resolved mid afternoon for a few hours. Ridiculous. Two nights without decent sleep! Sure they give you free alcohol for an hour in the afternoon; I much more value a premium room experience. Genuinely, consider elsewhere!!!

    Came here for Sofar sounds and it was an enjoyable and memorable experience.initial it was supposed to be an outside event but was changed inside due to the weather. The staff did an amazing job with the last minute switch. Overall I enjoyed the selection of music, drinks, and venue

    Very nice hotel with lots things to do around the area. Either visit one of the restaurants or bars or just walk outside to one of the bars, restaurants and attractions!

    First impressions are everything. The hotel is located in a convenient spot -restaurants, and shops within walking distance and across from where the Sacramento Kings play. Check-in was smooth, front desk employees were very professional and helpful. The room was clean, bathroom clean, at least at first glance, but when you start to inspect just a little closer you'll see those little things that make a difference pop up. The table is warped because of water spills, I imagine, as you can see the bubbling on the top of the table because it's not real wood. They probably just need to replace the table already. The lamp by the bed as you can see from the pictures looks like it's not been cleaned or dusted since they opened up. The room overall is very sterile looking, it almost feels like a common place where people come and grab snacks. The outlets by the bed are loose, what ever you plug-in won't stay plugged because it's loose so not only a maintenance issue, but I don't think that's safe either. They have spots for USB but not for USB-C, which is a little surprising given the tech adoption, the fact we're about to go into year 2026, and that many electronic devices today have the USB-C for charging, they could at least have it as an option. The other problem I have is that the light control is by the door for all of the main lights in the room. However, there is a light that is attached to the headboard like behind it so if you want that on at night, you have to get out of your bed and go to the door to turn it on or off, which I think is a major design flaw since most hotels will have a light control somewhere by the bed for convenience. Also, they have really nothing in the bathroom as far as lotions are concerned. They had this 1 ounce bottle that was already half used and not replaced when I checked in. My Lysol spray next to it is 1.5 ounces. This Hotel is a place to lay your head if you're in town, but definitely nothing to write home about.

    We visited Sunday at 8:45am. It was bustling with guests coming and going. They have a door man. That was very polite and opened the door for us. They had a free coffee and tea bar right inside the entrance. Across from the reception desk. The bathroom was open to the public. It has a code on the door, but it wasn't locked. The bathroom is across from the reception desk down the hall after the suite entrance.

    A quick getaway. First time staying . Value was good . Check in process was easy . Lobby area very nicely appointed. Good included happy hour . Room was clean. Only area that needed work was valet . No luggage loaded or doors open . I'll stay here again .

    A late review, but I finally had some down time. Me and my family stayed here on July 20th through the 21st. It was the best stay. The first day we checked in, it room initially was a great room but the scenery was not great. ( Mostly the Kaiser Building). They were quick to move us with no hesitation. We were all satisfied to say the least. This overlooked the Doco Center, The Bridge, and The State Capitol. With Social Punch Bowl in the hotel and the refreshing Pool to swim and relax. Thank you for a memorable experience.

    Linkin Park at the Golden 1 Center - SO close to the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel.

    Pet hair in the rooms?

    I have stayed here 6 times with my pet. Going into the rooms I have not seen pet hair. It seems like they vacuum daily.

    Is there a dress code?

    There does not appear to be a dress code at the hotel or hotel bar. I have seen basic clothing versus fancy. Everyone seems to fit in.

    How comfy are the beds? It matters

    Very Comfortable! Not the type that you sink in when you're on it. Hope this helps.

Throughout my visit, I received inconsistent information from different staff members. Whether this was due to inadequate training or employees simply making things up as they went along, it left me with very little confidence in the hotel's management and operations. The biggest issue, however, was the noise. Because there's a bar in the lobby, guests were returning to their rooms between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m., shouting in the hallways and repeatedly slamming their doors. The noise made it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep. Most hotels in this category clearly post quiet hours and actively enforce them to ensure all guests can rest. That did not appear to be a priority here. A comfortable night's sleep is one of the most basic expectations of any hotel stay. Unfortunately, this property fell well short of that standard. Between the inconsistent service and the lack of noise control, I left with little confidence in the hotel and would not choose to stay here again.

The bed was soo comfortable. The blankets were warm. This room faced 28th Street. My issue with this hotel was that the guy at check in barely said anything to us.

The tall ceilings and quiet rooms--thanks to excellent insulation--made the stay very comfortable. I also liked the different water options available near the front desk, especially since the bottled water in the rooms cost $10 each. The music in the pool area created a great atmosphere, and the jacuzzi was a nice size and very enjoyable. However, the main issue was the mandatory valet fee--even when not using valet service. This makes no sense and feels unreasonable. If arriving by Uber or not bringing a car, there is no justification for being charged valet. The website does not clearly state that valet is mandatory, and there was no prior notice when booking. At check-in, staff simply said, "We have to charge it anyway," regardless of whether the service was used. The fee is also quite high at $52 per night, which adds up quickly for a service not utilized. According to previous reviews, valet fees have increased significantly over the past three years. I would not stay at this Westin Hotels & Resorts location again. The accumulation of mandatory fees makes the experience feel transactional rather than guest-focused. I would much rather voluntarily tip valet staff when I actually use and appreciate their service, rather than be required to pay a substantial fee regardless of need. Overall, while the hotel has many appealing qualities, the mandatory valet charge without clear disclosure or usage was a major drawback.
