As I mentioned in my CIM 2012 race report, I chose the Hyatt Regency Sacramento for a number of reasons as our hotel for the night before the race.
The Pros: Convenience
- 3 blocks from the finish line
- No 2-night requirement
- Late checkout – 1pm – without an additional fee (ok if you plan on finishing the marathon within this timeframe)
- Restaurant on-site
- Parking on-site
- Free wifi
- CIM Bus pickup at 5am and 5:15am
