After accidentally booking a room at another hotel (when I meant to book this hotel) I was mortified at the difference between the booked Hotel and the Homestead - I checked out the other hotel at 1:30 a.m. (when I checked in) after seeing the room and called the Homestead at 1:30 a.m. and they graciously opened the front office and checked me in - I almost cried with joy upon getting to my room and seeing a nice, clean, relatively large room for the price. I have stayed at this hotel before and found it very nice. I agree the first building is the best (closest to the office) and as for being "in the middle of nowhere" - that is not the hotel's fault - it is a business park area and I was there for training for work. I ran to the river every night and back (approximately 4 miles) and really enjoyed my stay.

What I thought was going to be a good choice for a couple of nights after reading reviews turned out to be one of the worst Hotel/ Motel stays I have ever had. If you do plan on staying there, some words of advise. Ask for a room in the two closest buildings to the office. Make sure the kitchen is equiped as the advertised. But my true advice is to spend more money and stay at the Marriot Residence Inn.

We reserved a King room on-line, and when we got there, they gave us a King Room at the end of the 3rd building. It was so close to the Fwy that I thought we were on the Freeway. Our non-smoking room was anything but, and as to the equiped kitchenette, I don't think so! The only thing the kitchen has was two pots and pans, a handful of silverware and a dish rack. Do dishes, no glasses, not much of anything. The Shower sprayed water all over the bathroom, and the TV had a revolving squigly line running through it.

So will I give them another try in the future? Not a chance!

My husband and I just stayed here for 3 nights while visiting family in the Natomas area. There are few hotels to choose from in Natomas, and most are dives or much more expensive. I got a reasonable rate at the Homestead website, and then because they promise to match any lower rates found elsewhere, plus take another 10 percent off, I checked with several sites and found the same room/dates cheaper on Travelocity. I emailed Homestead and they matched it plus gave me the discount.
We had the smaller size room (there are 2 layouts). It had a queen size bed and nice kitchenette, but as others have mentioned, only one package of coffee and no shampoos, lotions, etc. There is a hairdryer in the bathroom, which is nice. No continental breakfast. No housekeeping services, unless you're there for 5 or more days. Room was clean other than a small amount of mildew around the tub.
Our biggest complaint was with the pillows. They were FLAT. I asked for some more pillows at the desk after the first night, and was told they had some on order, but had no extras at the time. We ended up borrowing some pillows from family members. The location is quiet, away from business traffic, but you do have to drive to get to any restaurants. We might stay here again for the price, but will more likely use the brand new Holday Inn Express once it opens.

For 6 nights we stayed in this clean, little efficiency room. The motel is in a safe,quiet new business park. The kitchenette had the basics, but as noted, there was one pack of coffee. (We brought our own, luckily).There was a plentiful supply of towels. When we ran out of soap, kleenex, etc. they were promptly replenished. The night manager was light on personality, but he was efficient. The day managers were extremely helpful and pleasant as were the housekeeping staff. We stayed in a place like this so we could eat 2 meals in and eat only one meal out. The motel is a short distance to the main road into downtown or to any connecting major routes. Staying at Homestead greatly enhanced our vacation, and we certainly will be looking for Homestead Suites when we travel again.
