Gold Rush Glamour with a Few Squeaky Wheels

The Bed: A Dreamy Gold Mine
Tucked into the Exchange Hotel’s Room 1008, the bed is nearly as precious as the gold once traded in Sacramento’s heyday. Linens are crisp, the mattress supportive, and the pillows? Absolute royalty—fluffy clouds of perfection that could convince even the busiest traveler to hit snooze one more time.

The Room: Style and Substance with a Few Quirks
The room is a well-curated mix of modern elegance and historic charm, with a layout that maximizes both space and aesthetics. A solid view adds to the appeal, and while the workspace isn’t exactly Silicon Valley-ready, it’s functional enough for checking emails before heading down to the bar. HVAC and noise control keep things comfortable, but power outlet placement could use a little strategic thinking.

The Bath: A Splash of Disappointment
A well-kept bathroom with plush towels and solid amenities sets the scene for a relaxing wind-down—until you turn on the shower. The water pressure is about as underwhelming as a dry gold pan after a long day of mining. Fortunately, the temperature holds steady, so at least you won’t freeze while waiting for the water to do something impressive.

The Hotel: A Curio with Character
The Exchange Hotel brings its A-game in style, hospitality, and overall ambiance. The lobby impresses, Wi-Fi holds strong, and the fitness center keeps the cardio crowd content. The bar and restaurant are solid, if not groundbreaking, but the hotel's business-readiness could use a little polish. While the location isn’t quite in the thick of Sacramento’s action, service makes up for it with warm, efficient hospitality.
