Great place to stay. Little more upscale than other IHG properties I've been to. I just wished they validated parking. If you have more than an overnight stay prepare to pay at least $30/day for parking.

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
