We spent a night on the Delta King and it was one of the most unique hotels we have ever stayed in. We were on the dockside and being on the river side would have been so much better, but still this was a pretty good experience. The rooms and bathroom are a bit small but considering you are on an old paddle wheel boat they were a nice size. The rooms do slant to the outside, reminding you that you are on a boat. The shower had the highest water pressure of any shower i have ever been in, actually had to turn it down some so it wouldn't hurt. Beats the trickle of water you get at some hotels. The queen bed was comfortable and really have no complaints about the room. They provide a pretty decent free breakfast in the restaurant and if you prefer to order something different from the menu it is only $5. My wife got the gluten-free pancakes which was one of the reasons we stayed there in the first place. We got drinks in the bar and went and sat out on the deck and watched the sun set over the river. Absolutely great time aboard the Delta King.

We did not stay at the hotel, but saw a comedy play. A fun cast who brings in audience participation. Very enjoyable, family entertainment. They had us laughing as they entertained with a parody story, jokes, and songs.

this was a great experience, the delta king was clean and comfy, the bar was busy and well run,the only fault was it could have a deck of some sort to relax on when you have had a day out as u have to go back to the cabin,but the area it is in is great, the breakfast was ok and the staff were very pleasant,the weather was lovely a very nice city to walk round,

My husband and I stopped for one night at the Delta King as part of a 3 week tour of California. It was one of my husband’s favourite hotels and really felt like it took us back a bit in time.
The hotel is easy to find once you enter Old Sacramento – just look for the river! The valet parking is $18 a night which was the cheapest valet we paid for during our whole trip. The sights and shops of the old town are all within walking distance with a good selection of restaurants to choose from. It’s a real break away from the hustle and bustle of the main city.
After a casual walk around town we settled on the top deck of the bar for a drink and a game of cards. The view over the river was so beautiful and the service so great that we ended up not going out for dinner and stayed right where we were instead all night! The food was good and portion sizes were reasonable, and there was a nice selection of wine. We certainly made the most of the bar/restaurant and found it a real treat after arriving from an active 2 days in Yosemite. Breakfast was included and served downstairs in the restaurant. Service was again great and so was the food.
The thing to bear in mind with the Delta King is that although it doesn’t move, it is still a boat. For those with mobility issues getting on and around the boat could be hard however the staff are incredibly helpful and there is even a room located on the first floor that is recommended for those less able. The standard rooms are quite small however we knew to expect this and it wasn’t a problem. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we loved the fact that we were staying in a cabin on a boat! Doorways are small and walkways around the edge of the rooms are too however again, this just adds to the fun of staying onboard.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others who want something a little different. It was perfect for a 1 night stay to break up our journey and we couldn’t have asked for more.
