Fodor's Expert Review Delta King

1000 Front St., Sacramento, California, 95814, USA

Wake up to the sound of geese taking flight along the river when you book a stay in one of Sacramento's most unusual and historic relics, a carefully restored riverboat hotel, permanently moored on Old Sacramento's waterfront. These rooms are small even by cruise-ship standards: ceilings are low, floors uneven, and bathrooms are minuscule (as you'd expect from early-20th-century lodging). All the same, the accommodations are charming, cozy, and furnished with antiques. Two restaurants, live music on weekends, and a theater are all on board. The staff is helpful and friendly.
