I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, right by the scenic American River. The views from my room were stunning, especially during sunrise. The room was spacious and featured a comfortable king bed and a kitchenette, which I found very convenient. The only downside was that while everything else was great, the dining options at breakfast could use a bit more variety.
