    It would be nice to have another mirror other than the one over the sink to look into to apply makeup when there is more than one woman staying in the room, A mirror over the desk would be better than a picture. I have never seen such strange “art” work in a hotel, especially an expensive one. A white canvas with a narrow strip of what looked like a piece of flowered wall paper is not appealing in a hotel room even if it is a cost saver. We are not espresso coffee drinkers so the coffee maker was not to our liking and to get a cup of regular cup of coffee in the morning we had to go to the lobby. Some of us older folks like Keurig coffee makers! While the hotel is very nice, we feel that it is more conducive to younger professionals and not older tourists or families. On the positive side, the location and available places to buy food and drinks are very good. Mostly because of the bathroom issues we would not stay here again.

    Beautiful hotel. Great bed. Elegant. But the bar was closed when I arrived, at 9:40pm!!!! Sorry, but that is beyond lame AND disappointing. Plus the $45 valet boys wanted me to drive around 2 blocks to have my car pointing in the right direction outside the hotel! (I turned it around right in front of them in 3 seconds. Disappearing. Felt like a low grade experience. You want to be taken care of when you arrive at a hotel.

    This hotel is the most incredible place to stay. The staff is so kind and hard working. All the amenities were so relaxing and welcoming. Always will come back! The only complaint is the chairs on the private balconies from both of our stays were covered in bird droppings and the table seemed too small for a breakfast or meal. The reading light with our previous stay was broken and didn’t want to turn off so had to tape it with a bandage through the evening so we could sleep.

    We had a quick one-night stay for an event and really enjoyed it! We stayed on the 12th floor with a view facing Kaiser and the train tracks, which made for a fun city view. The interior upgrades were beautiful and made the room feel fresh and modern. They also had a cute little event set up in the lobby with yummy snacks, which was such a nice touch. Overall, a great stay and we would definitely come back!

    My biggest complaint is that although they use a text communication system, as is more and more common these days, they didn’t bother to let me know that the pool was closed all week. That was my main reason for choosing this hotel, so that sucked, not to mention the time I took to shower, get into my bathing suit, put sunscreen all over my entire body, only to go down and be met by a sign saying the pool was closed. Totally unnecessary. Would have been so easy and obvious to send everyone a text. Housekeeping was excellent.

    We arrived early and had to wait 11/2 hours before we could check-in. We were told our suite was currently being cleaned, but it did not appear to have 11/2 hours worth of cleaning.There was dust on the window sills. Our suite was located on a corner, so we had traffic noise coming from both sides.

    We encountered a small issue during check-in, but what happened next completely exceeded expectations. The staff responded with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care, and the General Manager personally ensured the situation was handled flawlessly. The level of attentiveness, accountability, and kindness shown was remarkable and far beyond what we’ve experienced at most hotels. While plans didn’t unfold exactly as expected, the way the Kimpton Sawyer team went above and beyond to take care of us left a lasting, extremely positive impression. Their commitment to guest satisfaction is clearly a top priority, and it shows in how empowered and compassionate the staff is. We are incredibly grateful for how everything was handled and would enthusiastically recommend this hotel without hesitation.

    Staff was absolutely lovely. However, both the coffee machine and the fridge were broken in our room.

    This was my first time here, and it was really convenient. We had valet parking, and the personnel handled the transition really smoothly. Check-in was simple, and you can see it right away as you walk in.The ambience of the venue was quite sophisticated. They provide additional complementary refreshments throughout the day. Too bad the pool wasn't available.The room definitely had a view. This hotel is really convenient for walking down the DOCO strip, particularly with Golden1 Stadium in front of you. This is why I booked this hotel to attend a convention.There is a small shop immediately next to the elevator before you go to your room.The room was clean and had everything you needed. The entire crew was incredibly helpful. They arrived after just one call. Expensive yet excellent experience.

    Loved everything about the Kimpton Sawyer, minus Revival. They definitely need to up their game at Revival. It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get our drinks! The food was mediocre at best. However, our room was nice, clean and comfy.Upon checkout we had a few items added in and wrong with our tab and the manager corrected it. Because of that we will be forever customers and highly recommend this hotel. Five Stars!

The only bad thing was that they told us that we have 24 hour room service, so we called in the morning at 10 am and they never answered. We complained at the lobby and they gave us credit to order something, but still was a little annoying, we call like 5 times and waited an hour to get the call back and nothing.

    From the moment I stepped through the doors of the Kempton Hotel in Sacramento, I felt like I’d stumbled onto a hidden gem. Check-in was smooth and genuinely welcoming—the front desk staff had that rare mix of professionalism and warmth that instantly puts you at ease after a long trip. They didn’t just hand over my key; they offered recommendations, asked about my preferences, and made sure I knew they were available for anything I might need.It was clear the hospitality here runs deep. Every staff member I encountered, from the bellhop to housekeeping, greeted me with a smile and remembered little details from previous conversations. It’s a small thing, but it makes you feel at home, not just like another guest passing through.The highlight, though, was the in-room dining. I ordered dinner after a packed day, and it arrived quickly—beautifully plated and piping hot. The staff member who delivered it was upbeat, courteous, and made sure everything was just right. The food itself was restaurant-quality: fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Even the little touches, like a handwritten note on my dessert plate, showed the team goes above and beyond.By the time I checked out, I genuinely didn’t want to leave. The Kempton Hotel somehow manages to make every guest feel like a VIP, thanks to an amazing team who clearly care about what they do. I can’t recommend this place enough—if you’re looking for a hotel in Sacramento that gets all the details right, this is it.

When I went to the lobby I was told by the 2nd receptionist that only 1 room was ready and would receive another text shortly when the 2nd room would be ready. Well that never happened…. I had to leave to my business meetings and on my return at 11pm I went to front desk and was finally given a room and not in the correct floor I originally requested and was promised by 3 different receptionists.

    The table is warped because of water spills, I imagine, as you can see the bubbling on the top of the table because it's not real wood. They probably just need to replace the table already. The lamp by the bed as you can see from the pictures looks like it's not been cleaned or dusted since they opened up. The room overall is very sterile looking, it almost feels like a common place where people come and grab snacks. The outlets by the bed are loose, what ever you plug-in won't stay plugged because it's loose so not only a maintenance issue, but I don't think that's safe either. They have spots for USB but not for USB-C, which is a little surprising given the tech adoption, the fact we're about to go into year 2026, and that many electronic devices today have the USB-C for charging, they could at least have it as an option. The other problem I have is that the light control is by the door for all of the main lights in the room. However, there is a light that is attached to the headboard like behind it so if you want that on at night, you have to get out

    Everything was fine, but it all could have been a little better for that price. Parking was confusing; we prepaid but there were no instructions, ended up paying to exit the wrong lot, and had to circle back to use valet, which wasn’t explained. At check-in they didn’t apply our $25 voucher until we asked and repeatedly showed proof even at checkout. Staff weren’t rude but didn’t guide us about the property at all or even explain how to get to our room, instead we had to rely on random QR codes we found. Also, calling it a “resort” and charging an extra $30 feels like a stretch since the pool closes at 7 and there’s no hot tub. And even though we thought we booked a king, we ended up with two queens due to the room-type-flex package, maybe my mistake, but IDK. Also, balcony door didn’t lock, door on bathroom is weird and there’s no privacy, and the shower has no door or cover. We were planning to recommend this place for our upcoming wedding, but we will probably pass.

    I was very disappointed in my stay at Kimpton. We reserved a balcony patio room, but the patio was filthy upon arrival and we could not sit in the chairs as they were missing the cushions and apparently did not have any replacements. Our room was just ok, carpets were stained & the bedding was very poor quality. The comforter was so thin you could see through it. We paid $2k total for 2 nights and it was so not worth the hype. The only positive was the hotels location, which was immediately adjacent to the arena we were seeing a concert. And when I mentioned these items to hotel mgmt, they offered me a $100 credit on my bill, which I actually never received.

    The bell service helped us up to our room. He was great, but unfortunately the room was visibly dirty. There were stains on the floor, marks in the bathroom, and the curtains were stained also. We went to dinner and came back to hop in bed — the sheets were stained. Called guest services and reported this issue. They offered us to move rooms or have housekeeping come. Of course we moved rooms. The second room was slightly better but was still not clean. We actually slept on top of the bed, on top of the duvet cover with another duvet from housekeeping (took 20+ minutes and 2 phone calls for them to bring an extra blanket and towels). The noise level of the room was horrible however, 8 floor up and you can hear all the noise from outside — ambulances, police, etc. I really appreciated the front desk’s kindness and can-do attitude but overall I’d honestly give this hotel 3.2out of 5 stars as it really didn’t meet the standard for basic cleanliness you’d expect at a 4 star IHG property.

    I recently stayed at the Kimpton Hotel for a weekend getaway. The service was excellent—from the valet to the front desk, every staff member was welcoming and attentive. Unfortunately, the experience took a downturn once we checked into our room. The room itself felt outdated and poorly maintained—the ceiling showed signs of disrepair, the door frequently got stuck, and the pet relief area was dirty and neglected. On top of that, the bed was uncomfortable, which made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the stay. While the service was truly impressive, the condition of the rooms left me disappointed and unimpressed.

    It’s a very convenient location being right in the heart of downtown sac. But I feel like the price is a little high and it’s not anything extravagant. It’s very clean and staff was very attentive. But the room was like many other hotel rooms. I don’t really like their bathroom setup. The door is a big mirror and it doesn’t shut properly so whoever you are staying with can hear you using the restroom. Overall nice, but a little pricy for what seemed like a basic hotel room.

    Bed was comfy, the room was soundproofed and the staff was so nice. I loved the valet and bellhop service as soon as you pull up and how pet friendly the hotel is with a little doggy potty area right outside the hotel. Room service food was delish!!

    Out of frustration, we had to call again and pretend we were making a new reservation just to get someone to answer. Only then did they finally send towels — at 3:00 a.m.! Because of this delay, we had to using only the robes after showering, which was very uncomfortable. On top of that, the room didn’t have basic amenities like a shower cap or toothpaste. This lack of attention to guest needs and poor communication really affected our experience.

    I was there for the WSB Convention at Golden 1 and I Loved my stay. The staff was absolutely the most welcoming and helpful group of people from check in to check-out and beyond. The location was literally steps from where I needed to be during the event. I I loved receiving text msgs informing me of the hotel’s activities and events. The only and I do mean only thing I wish was better was the bed mattress. It was way too firm and I like a firm mattress, but this one was very uncomfortable. Thank you everyone for a beautiful stay!

    I did not like how I was treated. I provided a credit card for incidentals when I checked in. Their system inadvertently refunded my card, so they asked me to come back and and provide the card again. Before I had an opportunity to return and provide the card again, they blocked me from using the elevator and access to my room. Even though I paid for my room in full. I felt that this was an inconvenience providing it was late after dinner. Also you can't request Uber directly to the hotel. You have to request it a block away. Which is crazy. I think they are behaving like a 5 star, luxury hotel but just not quite there yet.

    From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with contemporary decor, high ceilings, and an atmosphere that feels both urban and serene. The rooftop pool and Revival bar are standout features—perfect for sunset cocktails or unwinding after a show. Rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and many offer sweeping city views. Service is consistently friendly, and the social vibe in the lobby during events is magnetic. However, it’s impossible to ignore the growing presence of homelessness and open drug use just beyond the hotel’s immediate property lines. While the hotel itself feels safe and well-secured, stepping even a block or two outside—particularly on K Street or toward the train station—can feel uncomfortable or even unsettling, especially for families or solo travelers unfamiliar with the area. The staff does an admirable job maintaining a sense of calm and cleanliness within the hotel, and security is visible and proactive. That said, Sacramento’s urban challenges do impact the experience, and guests should be prepared for the contrast between the luxury inside the hotel and the stark reality just outside.

    I had a late check out. The staff knocked on my door every 5 minutes startling at regular checkout time until my late check out time… even walking in while I was getting in the shower. If you can’t give a late check out that’s fine, but don’t give Jennie then harass me nonstop. I won’t stay there again

    The lobby is very nice but not always clean. The housekeeping staff placed their cleaning aids on one of the chairs in the lobby. The room is very outdated with broken tattered drawers, closet doors that were very difficult to open and incredibly heavy, iron needed to be replaced 3 times before they gave us one that worked,the door to the balcony got stuck to the flooring and jammed so we couldn’t go onto the balcony and the carpet looked very dirty and outdated. Staff was kind, pool is very pretty but closes early at 7 pm. Once they renovate the rooms it will be much nicer.
