Overview

Visitors to the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel in Sacramento, California will immediately see why the hotel was named one of the five best hotels in the city. Its convenient location in the heart of downtown Sacramento makes it an ideal place to stay while exploring California's capital city. The Golden 1 Center, the home of the Sacramento Kings, and the city's premier concert venue, is just steps away.

This boutique hotel offers many unique amenities, including a daily social hour in the living room or on the pool deck, and can read the morning paper with complimentary coffee and tea service each morning in the living room. Guests may borrow a bicycle and see all of Sacramento on the city's 32 miles of bike paths. Each room has a yoga mat, and yoga classes are offered by the pool deck on weekends. An on-site fitness center, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and free Wi-Fi help make each guest feel at home. Unlike most downtown hotels, pets are welcome at the Kimpton Sawyer, with no extra fees.

One of the highlights of the property is the rooftop pool, where guests can swim, lounge, and listen to live music while enjoying a birds-eye view of the city. At night, the indoor/outdoor Revival bar is a great place to socialize and relax.

The Kimpton Sawyer is ideal for meeting and events, boasting 22,000 square feet of event space, from large ballrooms to conference rooms, and outdoor space. Guests can also reserve the rooftop pool for special events, a perfect place for an evening social hour after a day of conferences.

The overall stay was satisfactory. I arrived a bit earlier than usual check-in, but was able to get my room upon arrival. My only qualm is that the hotel does not have their own parking, so I was not happy with the price I had to pay that did not include or consider parking. The lot below the hotel is apparently owned by the city that maxes out at $28 per day.

The rooms were immaculate and spacious. The layout of the room and bathroom were ingenious (and I don’t say that lightly). The space was planned so it was efficiently and made it so easy to use. The location was spot on for restaurants and shopping. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I do travel extensively and have been to MANY hotels and this is by far my favorite!!!

Cons (-) The information regarding parking could've been better.

The pool was packed when we went to go swimming in the morning ...

Pros (+) Great coffee, nice service.
Cons (-) A little more upkeep and cleanliness (especially for a suite). Need better coordination with in-room spa services. Our service never arrived after attempting to book three times prior to our stay (and finally calling and confirming with them the day before our stay). Nonetheless, they never arrived and we were charged for our services anyway. I had to chase down the service for a refund - at first...
