Frommer's "Permanently moored in Sacramento since 1984, the riverboat is now a somewhat gimmicky but charming hotel." Full review
Fodor's "The best staterooms of this grand old riverboat, permanently moored on Old Sacramento's waterfront, are on the river side toward the back." Full review
Rough Guide "A 1926 paddle-wheel riverboat now permanently moored on the waterfront. Although the rooms fail to justify their “stateroom” advertising, the vessel makes an enjoyably unusual place to stay."
Michelin Guide "During Prohibition, this "floating pleasure palace" ran from Sacramento to San Francisco. Today the red paddle-wheeler remains on the Sacramento River in Old Town."
Gayot "Like the Delta Queen, its sister hotel moored on the Mississippi River, an onboard stay conjures images of Mark Twain and the romance of the Wild West."

"The Delta King is an old river boat turned hotel with a giant, red, rotating paddlewheel...provides excellent access to a number of historic sights." Full review
Afar Magazine "I'm not gonna lie, the hotel itself isn't to die for, but how often do you have the opportunity to sleep on a historic steamboat? When in Sacramento." Full review
Lonely Planet "It's a kitschy treat to sleep aboard the Delta King, a 1927 paddle wheeler docked on the river in Old Sacramento. It lights up like a Christmas tree at night." Full review
