"This Marriott-owned hotel right in Downtown Sacramento is the mid-1920s former Cal-West Building—briefly the tallest building in Sacramento—and pains were taken to preserve its heritage architecture. Its mansard roof, central staircase and the 1920s clock in the lobby all remain. Today it has 198 rooms with handsome striped wallpaper and Gilchrist & Soames bath products. The hotel is within two blocks of three tram lines (gold, blue, green) and is only a 20 minute walk from the Crocker Art Museum." - Sophie Friedman
