About this place Citizen Hotel

The Citizen Hotel is Sacramento's most distinctive boutique hotel — a 1926 building converted with a specifically Sacramento aesthetic that references the city's governmental identity throughout its design. The lobby is lined with government documents; the room décor references California political history; the rooftop bar has views of the State Capitol dome. All of this is thematically coherent with Sacramento's identity as a capital city, and the result is a hotel that feels genuinely rooted in its location rather than interchangeable with any other boutique property. The Citizen is gay-welcoming in the way that good independent hotels tend to be — through staff culture and a genuine hospitality ethos rather than corporate policy. The J Street location puts it close to the State Capitol, within walking distance of the Midtown bar scene on K and L Streets, and convenient to the Old Sacramento waterfront. Grange restaurant in the hotel has been one of Sacramento's better dining options since opening. For LGBTQ+ visitors to Sacramento who want to stay in a hotel with genuine character and a central location, the Citizen is the correct choice.

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Hotel that is old and very outdated: Shower head that sprays in 20 directions, tiny toilet seats, and lights that barely illuminate.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.
