We originally discovered the Best Western Sandman when we were stranded in Sacramento due to a cancelled flight, took a chance on this motel, and were favorably impressed. This trip was our second stay at the Sandman. It’s motel-style, backing up to the Sacramento River. We arrived on a day when it was 110 degrees outside with very smoky air... more

I can't fathom what the bad reviewers are talking about. The room was much bigger than expected and had a refrigerator and microwave. The bed was comfortable and offered lots of pillows...both squishy and firm. The tv was decent with a variety of channels. The gate to the river is awesome. I recommend staying on the back (river) side as... more

I will not go back to this motel because their service was very unprofessional, tv did not work, shuttle only started at 9am, etc. more

The good: The location is terrific, right off the highway by the airport (but far enough to be quiet). The Sacramento American River Trail is right out the back door, a locked entry way allows access to Discovery Park and miles of trail, delightful! The rooms here are larger than expected. There is a decent little Mexican chain-restaurant on the... more

We stayed for one night enroute to our final destination and have re-booked another hotel for the way back. Our room was very dark and disappointing. There were dead flies on the window sill. The carpet was not clean. The reception staff was terrible - very unfriendly. The overall impression is that the property is dated and needs renovation. I... more

I have stayed in this motel twice over a 5 year period, and both times found it clean, accessible, and very comfortable. I plan on staying there again when I am in the neighborhood and would gladly recommend it to anyone. more

We stayed there one night on Christmas and the room itself seemed very clean and tidy when we entered. However, during the middle of the night, I had to get up to make my toddler a bottle and there was a giant roach in the sink, which I drowned down the drain with the faucet water. My toddler also woke... more

Check-in was easy and uneventful. The room had a microwave and refrigerator, which was nice, but there were little things within the room that were a cause for concern. First among these was the various different colors of spots on the bedsheets. I ended up pulling one of the sheets off of the bed and replacing it with a sheet... more

I am on the road for 21 days. 21 days, 19 motels. I am following RT 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. I will continue from there up the California coast thru San Francisco and I will end my journey in Sacramento. From there I will fly back to Chicago. I will review my every stop on the way. I... more
