QUICK LINKS
Click here to visit the Marrott hotel web site.The Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova is the official home for the West Coast Ragtime Festival. The hotel has provided a large block of upscale rooms. As in previous years we will have six venues, all under the same roof - no mad dashes across a wet parking lot! We now have a dedicated dance venue, and the main performance room is larger than our previous one. There is an in-hotel restaurant, the Formaggio, and a Starbucks, which has agreed to adjust its hours to our needs. Nearby are American and Japanese style restaurants. Parking at the Marriott is free. The hotel has streamlined the reservation process with Dedicated Room Reservation Page for festival attendees. The hotel is located at 11211 Point East Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742.
