This turned out to be a wonderful option for our stay in Sacramento. The paddle boat was such a cool experience. The bathroom could use some updating. It would be nice to have a larger shelf to put our toiletries on. The claw-foot tub has a lot of character, but for seniors, as we are, it was a little worrisome getting in and out of the tub for our showers. Having said that, I loved being on the boat, looking out at the river and watching the walrus swimming and sunning themselves nearby. I did not find their "barking" to be an annoyance - it was part of the charm and not constant. No earplugs necessary for us. We loved being able to walk into the old historic area of Sacramento and went to the museums and enjoyed the restaurants in that area. We had a function to attend in the capitol area and were able to easily walk to that. It was nice being able to comeback for a nice after dinner drink onboard the ship. We had breakfast one morning, and a dinner in the restaurant. The food and service was very nice. The valet parking worked out well. The staff were attentive and helpful. It was a unique and fun stay. Thank you! We would definitely recommend this hotel, and would love to return.
