The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Situated directly beside Capitol Park, this high-rise Hyatt serves as a convenient base for convention attendees and downtown visitors. Guests appreciate the updated functional rooms, comfortable beds, and responsive service staff. However, travelers frequently run into sluggish Wi-Fi speeds with high latency and weak shower water pressure that struggles to stay hot. 813

Every line below traces back to something a traveler actually wrote — open a line to read the original sentence and follow it to the source.

What travelers noticed

  • The downtown location is widely praised for its walking distance to Capitol Park, the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, and local museums. 836
  • Guest rooms provide reliable comfort with quality bed linens, adequate closet storage, and quiet air conditioning. 5
  • Bathrooms draw positive remarks for generous counter space, double sinks, and KenetMD toiletries. 5
  • Front desk and service staff consistently deliver attentive support, smooth check-ins, and helpful elite status recognition. 12

The catch

  • While some guests enjoy mini-balconies with views of the Capitol building, others find the outlook over the convention center plain. 6711
  • Some visitors highlight delicious dinners and attentive restaurant service, whereas others describe the breakfast selection as cramped and mediocre. 12

Who it's for

  • Attending events at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center
  • Business travelers wanting proximity to the California State Capitol
  • Sightseers looking for a walkable base near Capitol Park

Skip it if

  • Needing high-speed Wi-Fi with low latency for work tasks
  • Expecting strong, piping-hot shower water pressure
  • Bringing pets without paying a hefty surcharge

  • Now, because this hotel is downtown, sometimes parking can be a challenge, but they do offer the valet amenity, which did end up being the route that we took and at $45 a night, it is a little bit expensive, but we did have unlimited in and out privileges, so it was a good option for us. 100:28

Food17 mentions · 5 filmed
  • The food was slightly better than you'd find at a lower-end Hyatt, though selection was relatively lacking. 7
  • I was thankful for the flexible hours and broad menu choices, as I tend to prefer greens and salads over typical breakfast items. 5
  • I was there earlier this year. The breakfast food was pretty meh. A few hot foods, fruit, pastries, and cold cuts. Service was nice. 14
  • what really sets hayatt Regency apart is its vibrant dining scene the dwson steakhouse is a must try boting a cozy outdoor fireplace and a Chic bar perfect for enjoying a meal or a drink On camera122:20
  • The food is a bit on the pricy side, but you get what you pay for. 6
  • The on-site dining options are a real treat especially the pool level Lounge Revival at the Sawyer where unique cocktails and tasty bar bites await On camera120:41
  • The food is in a corner of the room and it can get a bit cramped- but the selection is alright. 14
  • Globalist breakfast includes anything off of the menu except the steak and eggs. 13
  • for a more casual bite Vines Cafe serves up delicious Northern California Cuisine during breakfast and lunch On camera122:32
  • I tried a few of their breakfast choices and they are all delicious. 6
  • The steakhouse is located on the ground floor, near the main entrance and next to Vine's Cafe. It's the perfect place for an awesome dinner. 6
  • As a side note, when hotels offer a breakfast credit based on the number of occupants of the room, I get annoyed. The cost of the room is the same whether it is just me or two of us. At this hotel, why wouldn't they just give every room a credit of $32? Why penalize someone if they are staying alone? 11

Location5 mentions · 2 filmed
  • Therefore, I did some searching and found the Hyatt Regency Sacramento. It's not as conveniently located near Old Town Sacramento as The Exchange, but still, a wonderful place to explore the city from a different angle and close to the Capitol. 6
  • Flanking Capitol Park in the center of downtown Sacramento, this Hyatt Regency attracts visitors - particularly business travelers - with its ideal location near the convention center and restaurants. 8

  • The four-pearl Hyatt Regency Sacramento offers an ideal location for travelers doing business at the State Capitol or Sacramento Convention Center. 3
Bathroom5 mentions · 1 filmed
  • Shower water pressure is weak but not terrible, though I found switching to the handheld shower head was a huge upgrade. Doesn't seem to get super hot. 13
  • The bathroom was very nice with two sinks as well as a separate vanity area with plenty of counter space. 5
  • The shower worked well, the toilet had a separate door, and the toiletries were by KenetMD. 5
  • Now, I will say, you know that I love Hyatt, I've stayed at a lot of Hyatt hotels and different brands for Hyatt, but I really enjoyed this bathroom. The black tiles, though it was a bit moody, I really liked it and I thought it really did upgrade the way that the bathroom looked. On camera102:56
  • The bathrooms with roomy glass walk-in showers appear more upscale than those with shower/tub combos. Category doesn't necessarily dictate the bathroom features, since Standard Rooms vary from shower/tub combos and walk-in showers. Both styles are spacious, however, with nice off-white tiling and large marble vanities. 3

  • Everyone was so nice, and they really cared about their guests. 6
  • Service is great and the staff tries to do their best to give you an amazing dining experience. 6
  • In fact, I found the hospitality at the hotel to be great - the personnel were always extremely friendly and accommodating. 5

  • Service at the front desk was great, and service in the Club was phenomenal. 7
Room17 mentions · 3 filmed
  • The rooms are clean and generally well maintained, but some of the wood furniture in the rooms we saw displayed obvious signs of wear. 3
  • If you're in the room, let's say for an extended stay and you're sleeping, you want a little bit of separation so that you can feel like you have a living space and there was a really pretty view of the city as well. On camera104:08
  • The bedroom was very nice. The bed was comfortable. There was adequate closet and dresser space. There were also sufficient outlets in the room. 5
  • The room also featured a mini-balcony with a fantastic view of the Capitol. 7
  • Because there are no windows in the living room/dining area, it is pretty dark. Even the lights in the room can't light it up as much as natural light would do. It was perfect for me as it became my literally speaking darkroom to edit my photos of the 4th of July fireworks in Sacramento. 6
  • The rooms are spacious and stylish featuring modern decor with elegant touches in Gold red and white On camera122:09
  • While the one at the far end is a corner window and looks like it gives you a mini balcony, you will be disappointed to know that you can just crack open the door a tiny little bit. 6
  • A couple things to note, the bed was very comfortable, the furniture was comfortable and stylish and we did really enjoy our time visiting the hotel and also sleeping in this room. On camera105:40
  • The room was nicely decorated and it was very comfortable. My only suggestion: since this room has no window, it could benefit from a little extra lighting. 5
  • The overall feel of the room is the standard updated Regency feel. Neutral colors, nothing fancy but very functional. 11
  • Lodgers are also pleased with the newly renovated guest rooms, complimenting the contemporary decor and the long list of in-room amenities (which include flat-screen TVs and minifridges). 8
  • I had to wait to swap rooms until Monday, but I got an awesome suite for my last 2 nights. 6
  • At 375 square feet, even the Standard Rooms offer ample space to include armchairs and desks with leather office chairs. 3
  • Next to the bed, in the inside corner of the room is a large comfortable chair with a small table next to it as well as another lamp. 6
  • One of the amazing features of this suite is the bathroom. You can access it through a door from the bedroom. The bathroom is huge. 6
  • Initial impressions of the room were great. Off to the left was a 6 person table and counter space aplenty. There was a mini-fridge and a Keurig machine. 7
  • I actually liked HR's suite better than the Kimpton's though, the room is due to be freshened up. 17
