The real attraction isn't the soaring lobby or the excellent cocktails--it's the people behind the bar. Steven, Jules, Jenna, Shanna Marie, Samantha, and the legendary Hilton have mastered the rare art of making everyone feel like a regular, whether it's your first visit or your hundredth. They're quick with a recommendation, quicker with a smile, and somehow keep the place running with the relaxed confidence of people who genuinely enjoy what they do. And yes... Hilton works at the Hyatt. That's worth at least one extra star all by itself. If you see a guy named Hilton working at the Hyatt, take the photo. The universe doesn't hand you jokes that good very often. As for the negative reviews? Some people complain it's expensive. Well... you're sitting across from the California State Capitol in one of Sacramento's flagship hotels. If you're expecting gas station prices, I also have some beachfront property in Nebraska to sell you. Others say it's "too classy." That's just another way of admitting they accidentally started acting civilized. Whether you're celebrating something important, hiding from the summer heat, meeting friends, or simply people-watching in one of Sacramento's best lobbies, this place delivers. The drinks are excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff remind you that hospitality isn't about serving cocktails--it's about making people feel like they belong. Five stars. And one bonus star for Hilton... just for showing up to work with the funniest name badge in Sacramento.

Over the last two days I've been trying to make reservations for my partners birthday in the next couple weeks. He and I have been trying to find the best and most relaxing accommodations at a decent and fair cost. With each of the associates I spoke to I was sadly getting miss leading information about what amenity's for a bundled package for the birthday. Most if not all hotels offer some packages that make a stay more comfortable and enjoyable. One associate offered free complimentary parking, small daily allowance and also a 2 pm late check out while other associates said that you never offer those. I understand that things can possibly change per associate but to say they are never offer something is odd. Not to mention on top of all miss leading information they kept referring to my partner as my wife when I already said it's for my partner ( he). It's very insensitive, unprofessional and presumptuous to just assume our partners orientation by just our voices (this happened multiple times to the point I had to correct)! I didn't receive any warmth or personable connection with the associates to feel like I'm being welcomed to make a reservation. They were very cold and robotic like I'm being sold a car. Talking to someone to book a stay at a Beautiful hotel like Hyatt Regency should be welcoming, like home away from home. So far with my experience just with the phone conversations is persuading me to look elsewhere. I expected better from Hyatt.

However, there were a few unexpected issues that were disappointing, especially after reading so many positive reviews. A couple of the face towels in the bathroom had a noticeable mildew smell, which was unpleasant. In addition, the air conditioner was extremely loud throughout the night. It repeatedly turned on around 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m., making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. I hope management will address these issues, as they would make a big difference in the overall guest experience. Other than that, our stay was fine, and I appreciate your attention to this feedback.

The atrium was fun for the kids to see their friends and the breakfast was wonderful! The hardest part for me was waking up to a pretty serious water leak above my bed dripping consistently on the pillow next to me. I immediately called the front desk and the person I spoke with didn't seem concerned at all and said the engineer wasn't in until 7am. My daughter was sleeping soundly, but having a steady flow of water dripping on my bed meant I was up at 4:45am with a third full day of education ahead of me. Literally nothing was done to improve the situation and I just hope and pray the leak was fixed before they put anyone else in the room. It would have been nice to offer SOMETHING to make things right. Don't stay in room 420 or at least ask if the water leak has been fixed!

The rooms were clean, the location is convenient and just a short ride from the Amtrak station, and it's a great place to stay when exploring downtown Sacramento. I also enjoyed the hotel's décor, which gives the property its own unique character. If you're driving, I'd suggest using the nearby parking garage or valet. I personally felt more comfortable avoiding street parking.

There was insane street noise long after the concert in the park, until 1am or so and then again at 530am on a weekend morning. The room itself was alright. Upgrade to a King corner room thanks for Marriott status. Small bathroom and room, but not unexpected for an older boutique style property. Bed was okay. When I told them I was checking out they could have cared less about the experience I shared, reaffirming the choice to leave and stay elsewhere. If I'm in Sacramento again I would never stay here - even if it were free.

With our discoverist status, we got waters and an upgrade to a 2 queen suite that comes with a kitchenette. I love having a kitchen even though I know dam well I'm not going to use it LOL. It's just nice knowing it's there. All the silverware, cookware, and cups were pristine. Room was clean and cute. The only issue was the bathroom door was a little difficult to open from the inside. This was purely a design issue. Complimentary breakfast is at the Star Lounge and was great. Hot foods and traditional breakfast, yogurt, cereal, and a nice toaster with a whole tray of different breads and bagel. The woman that was manning the breakfast station was awesome (short blonde hair). I always noticed her helping out guests with something and had a good hospitality radar (to anticipate needs). Would definitely come back. Valet: $40/day with in & out privileges

This building is pretty! There are 8 stories. The rooms are apartment-like and some are suites. My 1-king bedroom on the fourth floor had a microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, and comfy couch. 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. He didn't explain breakfast hours, where the elevators were, or welcome us as status-holders. This was the first time in a while I've had such an experience at a Hyatt property. Parking: valet only, $40. I found an uncovered parking lot on 28th that was $10 for overnight. The valet attendant is directly in front of the hotel. Breakfast: M-F 6:30A-9A, S-S 7A-10A on 3rd floor. Offered typical hotel breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, cereal, and hot coffee. They also had oatmeal and some fruits. The Star Lounge is pretty to visit with the blue velvet chairs and candles. Fitness center: 24 hours, on basement floor Laundry: 24 hours, on basement floor No pool. Free wifi

A lovely stay! On a…read morewhim, I decided to stay at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel and had a very nice night. Fortunately because it was a last minute booking, the rate was heavily discounted. This is a gorgeous and up-scale hotel with lovely amenities. Parking was very easy. You have the option to valet or self-park in the underground garage. The elevator from the garage leads you directly into the beautiful, modern, and clean lobby. There is an abundance of lounge seating available and a very nice coffee/hot cocoa bar. In the coffee bar, there were syrups and toppings available for use which made it feel much more luxurious. The room was great too. We booked the Premium King Room with the Golden One Center view. The room was spacious and clean. It did not feel cramped or crowded. The bed was comfortable and was furnished with many pillows. The hotel offers almost any bathroom amenities that you can think of if you forgot them. The mini bar is fully loaded, but pricey as expected. I was unfortunately disappointed with the view though. We were placed on the sixth floor and could hardly see the Golden One Center. The window overlooked just the roof of the stadium. We could not see the plaza, city, or much of the stadium at all. If you crane your neck to the sides, you can barely see the Tower Bridge and the State Capitol. We also had some trouble with the AC in the room. It was working early in the night, but despite being set to 65, the heater seemed to have kicked on. It got very hot in the room, and then got very cold on its own even later. Despite this, I would definitely stay at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel again, just without paying extra for a "view."

Complimentary coffee and tea from 6 am everyday, but tea rack was empty around 7, no one refilled the plastic lids even after the front desk was informed. The guest opened the cupboard down there and got the supplies by themselves. Swimming pool supposed to open at 7 am, but the staff was cleaning it at 7:30 am. The outdoor pool was not heated as stated in their website. Mixology is complimentary to teach the guests how to make a cocktail, same Cocomo drink everyday. Definitely not worth the money as a 4 stars hotel

I woke up with 2 very sore fingers on my right hand. I reported to desk (only 1 staff working solo). She did give me an ice pack and a wrap. She did apologize. She asked me what she could do. That's odd to me, I've been in customer service over 45 years, I never asked a customer "what can I do?" for bad service or experience s...just make it better. I told her have someone go remove the nightstand so the next guest doesn't get injured. I went back to room to record how severely unbalanced the table was. A HK Supv (Myneli) was very kind but also unsure came by, I told her take it out PLEASE. It's a handicap room to make it easier for those of us with disabilities, not to make it unsafe or uncomfortable! She removed it as I requested. The front desk agent, said she was going to make an incident report and a manager would contact me, I never heard from anyone. That was 5 days ago. The front desk agent said she would put some points on my honors account, never happened. I also reported that I left my breakfast passes on the same dresser I placed the tip (not 2gether) the tip and passes were gone. The front desk did replace them, thank you. I also chose this location because it had an outside hot tub near the pool but was disappointed to see CAUTION tape like a crime scene. No access. PLEASE update repairs so we have accurate info when booking! I opted for a hot bath (dirty tub, I had to clean. See photos) There was also long hairs on the soap & shampoo bottles. I always travel with clorox wipes BUT why do we have to spend so much money and still have to sanitize a room? I still leave a cash tip daily because im sure they work hard & are most likely low wages. It's the right thing to do. Lastly the decor in the room was off. Only 2 small pictures and no full length mirror nor suitcase stand. I reactivated my Marriot account, I don't know if I will continue on with Hilton.... Update Manager?

I really liked this hotel, but ultimately left feeling disappointed…read more There were several things I appreciated. 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.

They have a waffle making station with plenty of topping options. They also have a small buffet style breakfast station with some kind of eggs (like scrambled and mini omelets), breakfast meats (like bacon and sausages), and different types of country potatoes. It was delicious and a great way to start my day. Location wise, the hotel doesn't look like it is in the greatest location, but it is faily quiet inside the rooms. It is also very close to Sac State which is great. It is within walking distance to the college. I would absolutely stay here again.

She explained the amenities and just by scanning the area, I could tell this was a nice place. As we were making our way up the room, Maria from housekeeping greeted us and let us know if we need anything, please let us know. Arrived at our floor and you can tell how comfy and inviting the bed is. Woke up and decided to take advantage of the gym at 5am. Greeted by Seth as I was helping myself to coffee. There were some items ready in which he added to help myself. As I thanked him, he reminded me breakfast will start at 7am and provided me what was on the menu. Made it to breakfast with Cecilia who works the area. I briefly met her along with Madison when I first checked in. Breakfast was fresh and flavorful Checking out I was greeted by Madison who I recognized yesterday when I checked in. Told her shes pulling a double in which she giggled and has such an infectious smile. Overall I am very satisfied with the awesome customer service especially the attentiveness and acknowledgement.
