The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking is in a locked area. The ambiance is fabulous with period furnishings, yet the mattress was comfortable. They take precautions to maintain safety since the area the surrounding area isn’t the safest at night. It was a short walk to the Capitol.
It was so nice and clean. I was welcomed. Awesome stay.

Average but efficient
The showers didn't get very hot
It’s 2-3 stories of long stairways to access the rooms and there are no elevators or ramps.
Parking is off street and $8 x night
Breakfast is toast, english muffins, apples, and nutrigain bars
Lovely building, very pleasant staff, room was nice and beds comfortable. We were seeing a show at the Crest and it was an easy walk to the venue. We didn’t love that our room was on the third floor and we had to lug our luggage up two flights of steps, a bit tough for us older folks. Also didn’t love our neighbors next store who were banging on the shared wall at 5am.
This is in heart of Sacramento downtown and in extremely scary neighborhoods. Even going out for dinner seems scary at night. I took a separate room individual room and it was literally 7x4 in size. There’s nothing in room. The property is scary old and everything is shaky. My bed headboard came out. If you add parking it’s almost equal to any ordinary hotel. So why go thru this. People are good here, well some of them. I asked for extra pillow, one just said no while other one gave in a minute. Well and well never coming back. If you can spend extra 10$ don’t come here.

Victorian era mansion, beautifully restored to the purpose of hospitality… could not believe my good fortune discovering this place… William Randolph, hurst one of the great names in American journalistic financial architectural and art preservationist and his entourage would have felt quite at home in those surroundings… pleasure of sitting in those rooms, make me feel as if I was being made to feel at home in the museum…. Not for five times the price could I have gotten a stay as nice near the center of Sacramento barely 15 minutes walk from Sacramento Valley Station. An outstanding experience will look forward to the hostelry international banner promoting cultural understanding among the special group of people see it wherever they go in the world.
