We chose this hotel for a Sacramento River Cats Triple-A baseball game and night out. The hotel is in a great location right across the river from the stadium (10min. walk) and right across the street from Old Town Sacramento with shopping, food, entertainment and historical sites.
It is a typical large Embassy Suites. The room was clean but a tad worn, but large, clean, and open. The obvious upsides of most Embassy Suites like this one is the free breakfast and free beer/wine happy hour every night. This site had a restaurant attached as well that seemed very nice and had a bistro type feel. The lobby was beautiful and clean, but crowded like usual during the free fod rush hours.
The staff and valet crew were great. Nice, personalble and even helped printout some driving directions for us. The $15/night parking was a bit much, but included valet and those guys were great. Parking is all metered or charged in that area anyway. I did see some baseball or other packages on their website that included the parking in the price.
The only issue we had was that our room faced I-5 and we could hear the traffic. We decided to live with it and really didn't botehr us at all when we went to bed.
