Great service all around from the valet when you arrive to the check-in and everyone else in fact. The rooms are very clean and the bedding is very comfortable. Centrally located in downtown Sacramento. Parking is $25 a day with unlimited ins and outs (just marginally more expensive if you self park but then you pay every time you leave).... More

I was fortunate to stay at this hotel on a business trip, and yes fortunate! What a hotel filled with history and charm, I felt like I was staying in a set decoration for the movie Clue or Sherlock Holmes would appear with pipe in hand. Exceptional service from ALL staff, food was a culinary treat in The Grange restaurant... More

Nice hotel and good restaurant. Has some charm and well located in Sacramento. The hotel is in an older building and has been renovated, and that makes it not feel like every other hotel. They also play with the theme throughout the decor, which is a nice touch. The restaurant is very nice, although a bit noisy. But the staff... More

Nice rooms with nice amenities, k-coffee maker in room. I had a nice room with a view of the capital. Staff are so very nice, felt like I was being treated special. The only reason I did not give 5 stars - parking valet only at $25.00 day.

This was a great place to stay. I was there for work/school business and couldn't have been happier. Staff was excellent and willing to meet my needs. It's location is superb, about 2 blocks outside of the Capitol. There's a lot of great eateries and coffee houses on each side of the hotel. I would definitely stay there again!

Start with the raw material: The Citizen's early 20th-century bones are beautiful. It's a classy hotel beautifully restored and tastefully decorated with political cartoons & photos that play off Sacramento's role as state capital. My room was super-comfortable and quiet, and the in-hotel restaurant, The Grange, is a class act. Breakfast choices were healthy and well-presented. Dinner was exquisite.

Stayed in the Citizen for business and was pleasantly surprised. It was a busy street we faced but hotel was quiet! Clean, classic rooms, tastefully decorated with a touch of political cartoons to remind you you are blocks from the state capital!

I booked this hotel because of its great rating on TripAdvisor, and was not disappointed. My room was small but comfortable, with a unique decor that was elegant and humourous. The room had framed political cartoons as decoration, and there are very funny quotes about politics in the elevators (different quotes in each one). It was possible to get the... More
