Stayed here for conference in Sacramento. The Clarion Hotel is right next to adjacent Holiday Inn Express and some other seedy motels across the street. Although in a rough neighborhood, at least there is free parking. But that is where all the (lackluster) thrills start from here.

They claim that there was a renovation done, but rather the renovation appears to have been focused on the lobby than the actual hotel rooms itself.

The hotel is more like a motel, the room entrances are on the outside. When you get past the lobby it has a circa 1950s feel to it.

As repeated as in the other reviews, this hotel really feels filthy - in my stay, stains on the carpets, curtains, and even cigarette butts burned through the comforter. The bathroom was even less desirable with the dirty grout. Room service - non existent.

The location is alright, right across the Gov's Mansion (which is a museum now), a nightclub, Music Circus, Convention Center/Memorial Center are not too far away, although the one way streets may make the trip a little confusing.

I made a reservation a week in advance and then traveled 400 miles to arrive and find out that they did not have a room for me. They could have call my home or my cell to let me know, so that i could have made other arrangements. The rude women at the front desk informed me that the hotel had in fact been full for two day. Why did i even make a reservation and give them a credit card if they are not even going to have a room waiting for me when I get there? BOO BOO BOO THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!

I had driven down from Redding, CA for a one night stay before flying out of Sacramento at 6 a.m. Neighborhood was okay. Received a room with an exterior corridor around the pool - had a run down Melrose Place feel. Not the best room type for a single woman traveling alone. Loud exterior noise on the street and outside of door. Bed was comfortable, although the room was a bit dated. Remote control on t.v. did not work well. Ants in the bathroom. Wireless was not working and my internet to not fit into the lamp outlet provided. Front desk staff was friendly at both check-in and the following morning when calling me a cab. The Mansion Cafe actually had excellent food and outstanding service at a reasonable price. I was very pleased. Overall an acceptable stay for not a lot of money.

First of all, they lost my reservation - the desk clerk was not helpful, but did finally give me a room, which had stained carpet, chair and bedspread. The TV remote wouldn't work, and the door wouldn't lock. There were noisy guests in the middle of the night, but I couldn't get a response from the desk to take care of the problem. The bathroom was tiny, and grout was missing in the floor tile. I will never stay here again, and I stay in Sacramento regularly on my way to and from California.
