★★★★ · Downtown
Downtown hotel with a heated outdoor pool that has lounge areas and a bar. Guests report that it can get crowded and that chairs are hard to find.
Outdoor heated pool across from the California State Capitol, with a hot tub nearby. The deck has little shade, and guests say food and drink service at the pool is slow.
How we choose. We look only at the pool: rooftop, infinity, indoor or lap pool, size, heating and season, views, extras like a jacuzzi or pool bar, and what guests say about it. Categories follow the official star rating. Every fact comes from a public source listed under each hotel.
