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 called the Formaggio. Nearby are American and Japanese style restaurants. Parking at the Marriott is free. The hotel has streamlined the reservation process with a Dedicated Room Reservation Page for festival attendees. The hotel is located at 11211 Point East Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742.


Getting There
The Marriott is on Highway 50 at the Sunrise Blvd exit. It is visible to the south, and is the only 11-story building in sight. From downtown Sacramento, take a right at the end of the Sunrise exit, left at the next light one block away (Folsom Blvd), left at next possible turn (one block), then left into the hotel lot. Parking is free. So, it's one right and two lefts, all one-block distances. In a pinch, just look for the 11-story building.

Note: There are other Marriotts in Sacramento. This one is titled Sacramento Marriott Rancho Cordova and is not a "Courtyard" Marriott. If you Google it, be sure you have the right one!

If you're flying into Sacramento International Airport, you can take public transportation to the festival hotel. Take bus 042A (Green line) into downtown, getting off on J Street at either 6th Street or 8th Street, then walk to 7th Street to transfer to the Gold line light rail (either by walking north to the 7th & I / Counter stop or south to the St Rose of Lima Park station. Take that light rail all the way to the Sunrise station, which is directly across the street from the hotel.

If coming in via Greyhound, either take westbound bus 15 to the 8th & O stop and transfer to the Gold light rail, or (much quicker, but not available on Saturday or Sunday) walk two blocks east from the Greyhound station to the Township 9 light rail terminal. Take the Green line lightrail to the St Rose of Lima Park station then transfer to the Gold line. (The colors represent the decals on the train itself.) The lightrail stops across the street from the hotel at the Sunrise station.
