薩克拉門託威斯汀酒店(The Westin Sacramento)

I’ve always been a big fan of Westin. Booked this hotel for the pool, the walk along the river, and patio dining overlooking the river and marina. Unfortunately the river walk was closed for a construction project, the patio had no gluten-free bread (a problem for me as a celiac) and the hotel forced me to pay an extra $45 fee for valet parking which was not disclosed at the time of booking. Had I known about these things I would have stayed elsewhere this time around. Staff was friendly, room was great and pool was excellent, so I expect these issues will self-remedy once the river walk construction work is finished.

The Westin was a much-needed landing spot after the previous evening. The restaurant was good. the room was phenomenal. The staff was incredible. Valet was the only option and it was $45. Didn't expect that.

The hotel had delayed with check in, and couldn't provide an ETA (even though check in really should be guaranteed by 4 pm). They said the room was "being worked on" for 1.5 hours, which clearly that is longer than it should take. We didn't get to check into our room until 5 p.m. so they finally offered to comp breakfast for the 2 of us at the restaurant next door (the only option for breakfast). On my final bill, they only comped us $20, which is barely enough to cover the cheapest item on the menu for one person. Also, there is the added fee for valet parking daily, and no option to opt out. Be ready for sunlight in the mornings because there are additionally no real curtains other than the transparent ones. I will not be staying here again.
