Leisure & Business

There is a business centre available for corporate travellers.

“Ideally situated across from Old Sacramento, the location is a key advantage, especially for experiencing the riverfront. While the hotel has expansive meeting spaces and caters to corporate and leisure travelers, attention to detail seems inconsistent. I noted the pet-friendly policy is a plus for families, but some aspects, like cleanliness, need more focus.”
