I stayed at the HGI one night in June to attend a graduation at UC Davis. My standard room was large and even with two queen beds there was room for a desk and a stuffed chair. Each room has an empty refrigerator and microwave. The business center computer and printer were free for the guests. The breakfast buffet was above average for this sort of business hotel. My "made to order" omlet was perfect.
The airport shuttle leaves every hour and gets you to and from the airport in 15 minutes. The towels I had were soft and on par with other hotels so I do not agree with the guest who complained about towels. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Okay here is the way GerryKurl sees this place. The GOOD: Decent, clean, nice front desk.

The BAD: I use better towels on my car. These towels took me back to High School Gym style towels. That Gymnausium smell, hardness to the terry cloth, these towels belong at the local car wash.

The breakfast was okay, the guy that makes the omelettes seems like he just got out of prison. Decent eggs, seemed like he wasnt used to business travelers. That is the way GerryKurl brings it! Keepin it Real...........GerryKurl

this is where we put up our parents when they visit, and it is always a great place to stay. friendly people, nice property, and good size rooms

This being my second stay at a Hilton Garden Inn (the first was in Monterey, CA), I had high expectations for our second stay in Sacramento. Now I am beginning to understand that even within the HGI brand that there are pronounced differences between properties that depend on the base clientele and market capacity.

What surprised me most was the smaller size of the beds (2 full size) and the room itself, compared to the HGI in Monterey. It's not that the HGI Sacramento is small, but that its sister property is bigger. Even the onsite restaurant in Monterey was noticably bigger, and the menu selection appropriately larger. Also, the TV in the room was dated (CRT-type) and did not feature On-Demand programming that I've seen in other newer properties.

Despite the differences, this is a clean, well-managed property will good customer service. At the front desk, my requests for late-checkout, directions and restaurant recommendations were handled in a friendly, efficient manner. The pool and hot tub areas were well-maintained.

What's most refreshing about staying at HGIs is the sense of not getting nickel and dimed to death. For example, I bought some refreshments at the 24-hour convenience store and the price was what I would pay at a 7-11. I should also mention that the nightly rate ($99) included a good breakfast for a family of four. How's that for a bargain?
