About this place The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection

The Citizen Hotel (Autograph Collection) is a boutique housed in a 1920s office building on J Street, just a few blocks from the State Capitol. Inside, the lobby and rooms riff on Sacramento’s political past—think vintage campaign posters and marble accents that feel more clever than kitschy. The on‑site restaurant, a staple of downtown’s dining scene, serves up solid food in a space that’s louder than the menu suggests. Room rates sit in the upper‑mid range, so you won’t be pinching pennies but you also won’t be splurging on a luxury resort. The hotel is mainstream and openly gay‑friendly. If you’re looking for a night out, the cluster of gay bars around 20th and K/L Streets in Midtown is about a mile away—roughly a 20‑minute stroll or a quick ride. Old Sacramento’s cobblestone streets and the Golden 1 Center are even closer, both within easy walking distance.

Good area to get in and out from. Staff can kind of be uptight but expected I guess. The rooms were awesome!

Staff pleasant and location is prime. Rooms and bathrooms felt dated, but not a deal breaker.

Great experience! Very clean and professional. One thing I must say Valet parking service is fast great attitude. As I was checking out I wanted to give another tip. This time on the app I didn’t have the option so I asked him where the tip button went as I’m showing ohim my phone. Well the valet guys don’t get those tips. I got upset because it is a deceiving process. So USA Valet Parking take a look at your policy about that because that’s plane simple wrong. For the people staying at the hotel please share and re share that tip should be cash to the guys doing valet and to not tip using their app. Boycut who ever that greedy manager is for USA valet parking.

Hotel that is old and very outdated: Shower head that sprays in 20 directions, tiny toilet seats, and lights that barely illuminate. Asked for towels at front desk and never received them. Called and asked again 24hrs later and the housekeeper looked at me annoyed/angry while he begrudgingly gave me my items, let them fall to the floor, and walked away without helping or saying a word. The “luxury” vibe isn’t worth this trash level of service and lack of customer care. Being Titanium, there are much better Marriott options nearby. Never returning.
