"Permanently moored in Sacramento since 1984, the riverboat is now a somewhat gimmicky but charming hotel."

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."

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."
Oyster
Upper-middle-range
"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."

"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."

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."

"Right off the highway and a short walk from campus and downtown, this independently operated hotel is not the Ritz but is clean, has spacious suites, and serves waffles for breakfast."
