Christmas Inward The Capitol: A Floating Dinner Inward Sacramento


We must similar this hotel, we've stayed hither repeatedly over the terminal decade in addition to a half. At first, it was called the Hallmark Suites. Great complimentary breakfast bar, cocktail lounge, in addition to puddle area. Nice ii room suites.

It became the Sierra Suites after that in addition to thus changed into a Hyatt House. All yet the same but looking a niggling worn at our terminal remain a twosome of years ago. Soon after nosotros checked out, it closed downwards in addition to underwent a year-plus renovations in addition to reopened a few months agone every bit a Doubletree Suites.
Watch the Video!

Nice place across the street from the Sunrise low-cal rails station, giving you lot slowly access to downtown Sacramento to the due west in addition to the fifty-fifty nicer Old Town Folsom to the east.

This time, I was offered a ii floor loft unit of measurement amongst ii bathrooms, mobility access, in addition to ii bedrooms each amongst a manful individual monarch size bed, for the same cost every bit the ii room suite nosotros had before.

 Well, I can't operate past times an offering similar that up...

After checkin, nosotros conduct keep our delicious Doubletree cookies amongst us to our room inward the side past times side building. 

The room is indeed spectacular. H5N1 large living room amongst a sink, fridge, java maker, in addition to microwave welcome us every bit nosotros come inward (I could painting the sink expanse beingness a kitchen earlier the renovation. Comfortable sofa, deskchair, in addition to large goggle box dominate the residue of this room.

 Beyond that is the downstairs bedchamber amongst it's king-sized bed in addition to bathroom. Funny matter most this accessible bathroom...it is really large but has a tub without a shower on a hose and...no...the management has no bathchair they tin position inward there. There's a pick out handgrip of bar side past times side to the lav in addition to a roll-under sink in addition to no door.  I hateful none...no sliding door, no curtain, nothing.

 (Management offered to deed us to a smaller room which would hateful Tim would conduct keep to deed to the sofabed instead of having that large manful individual monarch to himself)

 Upstairs is some other bedchamber amongst some other manful individual monarch bed for Letty in addition to I. Another bath upward hither is smaller in addition to to a greater extent than spartan but...get this...it has a walk-in shower! Swap the tub downstairs amongst this 1 in addition to the room would last unopen to perfect, except for that missing door downstairs.

 We exercise go amongst a spare shower chair on route trips for merely such an occasion but the room is merely likewise darn prissy in addition to large to deed to a smaller version. We'll come across most some other organization for compensation later.

 I teach to a nearby Wendy's in addition to nosotros feast on Christmas Eve roughly our hotel room tabular array on some hot 'n juicy burgers spell watching quondam movies on TV. It's a really comfortable, cozy, in addition to low-key evening.

 In the morning, nosotros caput to the antechamber for a low-cal breakfast. In it's previous lives, the hotel had a great, complimentary breakfast bar. The buffet in addition to omelet station are yet hither but for a cost now. H5N1 "Continental" buffet is $12.95 in addition to the total buffet is $16.95. H5N1 chip much since nosotros basically merely desire some bagels in addition to fruit.

 It's really irksome on Christmas morning. The hotel is to a greater extent than oftentimes than non empty in addition to nobody is eating. The counter guy makes us a deal...pay for a continental buffet, which he'll knock 10% off of because it's Christmas...and nosotros tin all percentage it.

 That'll exercise (pro tip: don't last afraid to negotiate a amend bargain when you've got the upper hand).

We residue upward in addition to create clean upward (Letty in addition to I conduct keep excruciating dorsum hurting today nosotros intend that was brought on past times the uncomfortable couch inward the Marriott nosotros stayed at on the means upward here) earlier loading upward in addition to heading to Old Sacramento along the riverfront inward downtown.

On arrival, nosotros conduct keep most a one-half lx minutes to kill earlier our reserved time, thus nosotros caput over to Candy Heaven, a large candy store known for their generous complimentary sample policy. Sample nosotros exercise - nosotros fifty-fifty sampled the chocolate covered crickets - in addition to purchase some candy for later.

It's fourth dimension to swallow thus nosotros caput over to the Delta King, an historic paddle wheeled river boat permanently docked here. We're shown to a prissy tabular array in addition to settle inward to eat.

This is becoming a tradition for us to come upward up hither in addition to conduct keep Christmas dinner on the boat. It's the alone fourth dimension each twelvemonth the eating theater hither serve their turkey dinner.

It's amidst the best turkey dinners I've e'er tasted amongst a perfectly roasted in addition to juicy bird, stuffing, mashed potatoes in addition to vegetables. It's delicious in addition to filling (that's why nosotros went low-cal on breakfast).

While the entire carte du jour is available, I come upward strictly for the turkey dinner. Letty in addition to Tim volition digress to other carte du jour items such every bit cioppino, pasta, or fifty-fifty fish 'n chips.

Tummies sated in addition to spirits high, nosotros caput dorsum to the hotel to bask the residue of the vacation together.
