I checked out (i.e. ran like #%**) at 9 p.m.

Located in a marginal area near downtown, the exterior and the lobby of this hotel are nice. However, once I exited the elevator to my room the reality is revealed. There were holes in the hallway ceiling from leaks and the place smelled as old as it looked (they tried to cover the smell with deodorizors). My business trip was in November and my room was VERY cold because the entire wall was a sliding glass door to the courtyard. I turned on the very loud, single speed (Hi speed) heater and after 2 hours I was still freezing! The toilet ran and there was no bathtub, just a shower. I couldn't believe I was paying over $100 per night for this dive! At 9 p.m. on my first night there I was fed up. I checked out (which the front desk did with courtesy and did not charge me) and then drove 8 miles to a Hampton Inn in Rancho Cordova to get a decent night's sleep. Although this is a chain and you'd expect better, I'd definitely avoid this Clarion!
