What guests think

Delta King Hotel offers a distinctive stay aboard a historic riverboat in Old Sacramento, with scenic river views, compact, slanted staterooms and very low ceilings; recurring noise from sea lions, trains and river traffic can affect light sleepers.

Many guests praise friendly, helpful staff, though reports of slow or uneven service at the front desk and bar do appear. On-site dining and drinks are frequently enjoyed with river views, but breakfast quality and availability vary, and the restaurant or bar sometimes close earlier than expected. Valet-only parking in a nearby garage carries a fee and can be confusing or slow. Expect a memorable, location-driven experience with charm and trade-offs rather than a quiet, modern hotel stay.

Went to an A's game. Pulled up and had the car valet parked ($30 with in and out privileges). Hotel is a riverboat with a very cool restaurant & bar. Many bars and restaurants in old town within a couple of blocks. Will definitely stay again.

The property itself is great. Did not realize it was a boat when made the reservation, but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The biggest pain was parking, there was a public ramp just down the street, but it was not cheap. The area right around the boat was Old Sacramento, it was not the cleanest area and I am not sure how safe it would be at night. There were plenty of choices to eat and shop.

Why this place isn’t on every adventurous traveler’s must see list is unfathomable. The restoration is very admirable and the riverboat fantasy is intense. They seriously need to figure out parking, but otherwise it’s an historic gem that should be heralded on every travel site.

Great stay if you are looking for something a little different! I had an injury and our room was 2 floors up (no elevator). It was difficult for me to do stairs. Staff kindly offered us a room change to the floor where the lobby is. We were very grateful. Was a cool place to stay on the water. Rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. Old town Sacramento was a cute, fun town to explore just outside the boat/hotel.

Convenient to the ballpark. The room was nice. Valet parking was ok. They could use more staff. We waited about forty minutes in the heat. We requested the car when we checked out. We huddled in the shade of a tree waiting for the car. They could put benches out there.

Chemical cleaning smell throughout the property so strong I had to wrap my face in a towel to be able to sleep. Windows don’t open, so no way to air out the room. The city side rooms are at the sidewalk level, so little privacy. Bathroom walls with what appears to be blood and mold. Rooms are tiny. The photos in their listing are not accurate. The whole place is the riverboat. There is not a separate hotel. I have photos and the app isn’t letting me upload them. I offered to send them to management and received no response. The front desk staff was very nice and allowed me to cancel my second night of the reservation with no hassle.

Highly disappointed with this hotel. Two nights cost me $427. I thought it was cool to stay on a refurbished steamboat but it felt dirty, loud and uncomfortable. Front desk staff were less than friendly and homeless people added to the outside decor. The room wasn't level, sligtly slanted. Imagine using the restroom in the middle of the night. I almost stumbled into the front door. Its like being drunk without drinking.

Great atmosphere and although rooms are small they are a fun experience. Housekeeping really needs to step up , the previous guest left eyelashes and hair on the bathroom shelf next to drinking glasses. We asked to have the room cleaned and they just removed the hair and lashes and didn’t clean the rest of the room . Unsure if the drinking glasses were replaced or not . Front desk was not responsive to the room not being cleaned. I was told housekeeping only had one person and didn’t get to it . Bartender was great , food was good .

This was such a great experience. The Delta King is a beautifuly restored River Boat. The Bar and Restaurant were gorgeous and the staircase is amazing. The staff were all very kind and hospitable. The reason for 4 stars…I had booked 2 riverview Queen staterooms. I paid for both rooms. When we arrived at 3:30(a little earlier than check in) our room was ready but our friends room wasn’t. That was no problem. All of us went to our room and waited for their room to be finished. We sat at the nice tables and looked at the river. About 5:00 our friend went down to see if their room was ready. They were unsure if the room was cleaned. Our friend asked for the key to check and it was indeed clean. They got to go to their room and it was all good. When we went to their room, we found it was twice as big as ours and had a desk and chair as well as a large bathroom. Our room was so small it was hard to walk between the bed and amouire. If two rooms are booked by the same person for the same night for the same room, they should be the same. I complained, but they didn’t have any of the larger rooms available. Our room #’s were 522 and 430. That being said, I loved the whole vibe and would stay there again!

The Delta King is like 100 years old, so the facilities, while small, were about what you would expect for being an old steamboat turned into a hotel. It's very cool & unique but the spaces and doorways are tiny and obviously old-fashioned, so plan accordingly. The bed was not very comfortable and the bathroom didn't even come with soap, though, so that was a bit disappointing. The staff was friendly and the bar was a great spot to sit & enjoy some cocktails & yummy food. FYI - we did NOT expect the sea lions and how much noise they made literally ALL night long. I guess that's why there were ear plugs left next to the bed. Even with the ear plugs and white noise on our phone, you could still hear the sea lions barking all night. That being said, it's a very unique stay.

First time staying at Delta when in Sacramento. Was excited to try this riverboat hotel. CHECK IN clerk attitude was TERRIBLE ! Absolutely rude and aweful. Have great things to say about bar staff and restaurant staff. BUT Angela at front desk was rudest young woman I’ve encountered in a long time. so disappointing. We walked in and her greeting was terrible. As if annoyed with us. Not a hello or a welcome. Her statement “well it would be nice if you would start by telling me your name”….. I was so taken aback by this rude greeting. It got worse from there. I have traveled far and wide. This young women at front desk was deplorable. Rest of staff was GREAT! Lastly, I went to ask when Valet opened in morning , then asked her name. She said “oh, am I going to get a complaint?”….. I said maybe. She said “ that’s just fine”. Sadly this is the person welcoming thier guests. The room was clean and quaint. Valet good. Front desk needs hospitality training.

The 2 day stay w/3 couples started out very good. We had the most outstanding service by the check in staff, Apple and Dee and Mendy in the bar. We were having cocktails and playing cards on the patio. She was very attentive and took care of us. The next night we had 2 different bar staff (Monday night, very slow, only 3 /4 sets of customers. The bartender was the rudest person I have ever encountered. He would not wait on us, made us come in to order. Also, wouldn’t deliver to our outside table. At one point he came out and took our empties, which we had to bus ourselves, never looked at us or asked if we wanted more. When we returned about 8:00 to play cards he said we weren’t allowed to play in the restricted area near the restaurant. Only one table was occupied. We played for hours the night before. Unfortunately he is the only reason the rating isn’t higher.

We had a wonderful romantic stay! It’s definitely something you do for the experience not because there aren’t nicer hotels available. The staterooms are cozy but supplied everything needed. We loved walking along the outer deck before bed and seeing the sea lions on the docks and the city lights reflecting on the river. Breakfast at the Pilothouse was delicious. The service was fantastic all around. Location can’t be beat for ease of walking around old town.

This is one of my favorite places to stay in all of the U.S. It's not just a hotel, it's a throwback to a bygone day. It's in Old Sacramento right now to the scenic yellow Tower Bridge — so once you check out the boat, be sure to walk around and enjoy the quaint shops and restaurants immediately adjacent to the boat. I go to Sacramento simply to stay on the Delta King! The locals know what a gem it is — they solve mysteries on it, school kids come to check it out and people regularly stop their strolls to take photos in front of it. Stay there, it will be a great memory.

Way overpriced for very plain breakfast. Bland eggs Benedict for $25 and $15 for a bowl of oatmeal that was nothing special. We will return to the hotel, though, for the beautiful and quaint accommodations and location. Just not the restaurant.

I had always wanted to stay on the Delta King, and it turned out to be a really fun and memorable experience. The location was super convenient, and one of the best parts was being able to just sit out on the lower deck and enjoy the atmosphere of the river and Old Sacramento. That said, there were a few drawbacks. The rooms did not provide shampoo, which was a huge inconvenience for an overnight stay. The valet parking also took more time than expected—it would have been much easier to have standard come-and-go parking instead of waiting for the valet, especially when multiple cars were ahead. On the positive side, breakfast was very good and the bar had a nice atmosphere. The only hiccup there was that my husband ordered a pale ale but was served an IPA instead. Overall, I’m glad I finally got the chance to stay here. It’s a unique spot with plenty of charm, though a few small improvements could make the experience even better.

Coming in knowing you’re staying on a classic river paddle boat built in 1927 helps when you find uneven and sometimes small spaces. But we really loved our stay. There’s something special about this ship and the location in Old Town Sacramento can’t be beat. My suggestion is you must try the food at the bar. Excellent.
