The Doubletree Hotel, Sacramento, CA has a bit of something for everyone. Located within hailing distance of Arden Fair Mall and five miles from the Capitol grounds, it’s a perfect match for Business travelers who want a centrally situated location, the ease and comfort of a Hilton hotel and a business center with 30,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and services to match.

For budget travelers and visitors, the Doubletree offers excellent package deals with free breakfast and nightly reduced rates, along with a stately comfort, cleanliness and spaciousness that you seldom get to see at the checkin-checkout tourist traps with tiny box rooms along the SoCal coast. For families, in addition to the great hotel specials, the Doubletree offers a kid-friendly environment with in-room Sony playstations.

The fact that Sacramento has some truly magnificient tourist spots for visitors is an additional bonus. Take a tour of Old Town Sacramento with its historic landmark buildings, museums, quaint shops and genuine ethnic restuarants.

Have dinner on the floating riverboat Delta King with on-board theatre to add to the sights and sounds of the twinkling river and the docks. Go fishing on the Delta and watch the amazing beauty of a quiet mist filled morning in the Delta marshes, with no other humans in sight and only the birds and the fishes to give you company.

This combination of a relaxing getaway, ostensible luxury, reasonable charges and extensive amenities and services for the entire family, regardless of whether you are on a business trip, a family vacation or just need a weekend getaway from the hurly-burly of the big metros, make the Doubletree a smart choice as a family hotel in Sacramento.

The room service and dining is taken care of by the Cityside Cafe, just off the lobby, which serves the traditional buffet breakfasts, along with salads, pastas and sandwiches for lunch and dinner. There’s also an Espresso Bar counter next to the cafe, where you can pick up specialty coffee drinks, deli items, fresh fruit and quick snacks to go. I’d suggest though, that if you really want to get the best of  your Sacramento holiday, you should dine at one of the fine Old Town restaurants. Breakfast, if you remember, is a free affair at the hotel.

All 448 rooms come with outsized private balconies or patios, hidden from view by wall-to-wall drapes. Amenities in-room include a coffee maker, high speed internet, iron/ironing board, hair dryer, work desk and chair, a sofa and a king size bed (or single/double queen beds, depending on choice of room). Suites are more lavishly furnished with a salon, wet bar with double basin sinks, a stocked ini-refrigirator, a dining table, a couch area with chairs and television, cable TV and movie channels, and access to the balcony via glass sliding doors, a jacuzzi tiub and seperate shower area. The family suite includes a master bedroom with a King size bed and a connecting room with two queen size beds, with one bathroom shared by both rooms, and a special Sony playstation and video games on TV for the kids (and for the kid in you).

 For the family suite, the hotel offers a ‘Dream Deal’ special package, which includes free breakfast for up to two adults and two children throughout your stay in one of the family suites mentioned above, with two rooms. This family suite, under the special, costs $182 per night plus taxes, which takes the total per night, for the full family, to about $205. And you get a warm chocolate chip cookie when you arrive.
