700 16 Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
Chain: Clarion
The Clarion Hotel is located in the heart of downtown Sacramento. It is across the street from the Old Governor's Mansion, very near the convention center and State Capitol, and about 10 miles from the Sac Airport. There's a cafe in the hotel, as well as meeting and banquet spaces. All guest rooms have recently been renovated and the hotel brews Starbucks coffee (always a pull). Rooms start at $90 a night -- decent price for downtown, but even after the rooms were renovated, the hotel remains a bit run-down. KEEP IN MIND it's a 2-star hotel and it's one of the cheapest in the area. If you're on a budget, it may work for you, but don't expect much.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
This is a tough one. On the one hand, this is an old hotel, it's pretty cheap for the downtown area and some reviews have been favorable. However, there are recurring complaints of uncleanliness, which is a definite NO in my book. The staff seems friendly, and it is located in a prime location. Basically, if you're looking for cheap and concerned only with location, you may want to go for it. However, I would recommend looking for another place in the area with better reviews. You may find a better place for just a bit more. Read our customer reviews?
Rooms have wireless and modem Internet connections, irons, hair dryers, refrigerators, electric door locks and coffee-makers. The rooms are small and the beds are not very comfortable. The hotel is older and the rooms show it a bit.
Pets are allowed for a $35/stay charge and there is free parking in an excellent location (right downtown). There's an outdoor heated pool, place to get food (not sure about the quality -- they call it a bar/lounge, and apparently there's a cafe), room service, wireless Internet, and truck and bus parking.
