I travel to Sacramento on business and stayed at Springhill for about a month in Apr 08. For the price, it's not a bad place to lay your head. The rooms are not true suites and more like regular hotel rooms, but with a little more in terms of a fridge and a couch and chair upon entry. The location is a little off the beaten path from the airport or from downtown sacramento and there are a few places nearby to eat (ex., baja fresh, carls jr., in-n-out, etc.) There isn't anything overly impressive about the hotel and the service leaves a little something to be desired (clogged tub, forgotten wake-up call, broken ice machine, etc.). The fitness center here is very small, only 3 three cardio machines, no weights, but there is a running path nearby and residential and commercial areas that don't boast a lot of traffic so you can feel safe running outdoors. There is a hot breakfast in the mornings with scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes, as well as other breakfast items like cereal, bagels, juice, yogurt, waffles, etc. I decided to switch and try out some other places mainly because of the service issues and just to try something new.

Really, this hotel is a good place to stay for what it is. However, a few things that led me to switch hotels (I decamped to the Res Inn downtown) mid week:

If you don't know where you're going (like me), the hotel is hard to find. I could see the darn place but couldn't get to it. Not fun at 11 pm after you've just flown across the country. They put me on the side of the hotel facing the freeway. Unless you are lulled to sleep by the sound of semis roaring by at 80 mph, this is not fun.

The kitchen had knives, but no cutting board. Automatic dish soap, but no hand dish soap.

the internet was spotty at best. the Tv, compared to competitors, small and equipped with only the bare hotel cable channel lineup.

I'll admit I'm a picky traveler but just in case there are any other travel divas out there, thought they should be aware.

We stayed for two nights, the night before our flight out and the night after our return flight. Shuttle service to and from airport was great. The room was a bit small but very clean. Restaurants and shops are a bit of a drive but not too far away. We had two small children with us and this hotel was terrific for them. Breakfast was nothing special but certainly sufficient. Pool and spa were good. The small workout room was nice. Overall, the room was very clean, the location is quiet and safe and the airport shuttle was very convenient. We will stay there again.

This is a nice and quiet place to stay. It is in an office park so not many places around for shopping and eating, but easy to get to the I-5 and I-80 area.

This is listed as an "airport" hotel, but it's about 10 miles from the airport. Thankfully if you have an early morning flight you go against traffic on the I-5.

This is the first time I stayed at a SpringHill Suites, but will stay at them in the future if they're all this quiet.
