I stayed at the Hampton Inn & Suites Sacramento - Airport for a conference in Sacramento, CA in April, 2007. This Hilton property is North of Sacramento and Southeast of Sacramento International Airport off of U.S. 80. While next to freeway, I did not notice any traffic noise at all nor did I notice any airport noise but this property is several miles East of the airport.

This property looks fairly new is located in a business park, not too far from Arco Arena where the Sacramento Kings play basketball. Upon my arrival was greated by a warm welcome by the front desk attendants. My room was a good size room with two windows. The room was near exterior door but I did not hear any door noise at night. The room was comfortable, there was a comfortable bed, comfortable chair and ottoman, a chair for dressing, microwave, and fridge and desk and chair. Good size clean bathroom. The room was very clean and well maintained daily. There was also complimentary high speed internet access.

The complimentary continential breakfast includes fresh fruit, pastries, muffins, cereal, oatmeal, hot egg dish, breads. Juices and coffee. The dining area is of good size.

There is a swimming pool on the property and plenty of free parking. This property is in newer office park area. Nearby within a simple car drive or long walk is Safeway Supermarket with both Starbucks and Jamba Juice with that complex. Just down the street is Holiday Express Inn. IHOP and Sizzler's restaurant. Taco Bell fast food restaurant is also down the street.

This property is near the Natomas suburb of Sacramento which is north of downtown Sacramento. Other lodging properties in Natomas are the Hilton, Garden Inn, Microtel Inn, Fairfield Inn and Marriott Residence Inn. This property is newer and nicer than both of than the Garden Inn, Microtel and Fairfield Inn. It is comparable to the Residence Inn, which offers full kitchens.

I received a group rate of less than $100.00 and for that price, this place is a great place to stay. If you need to be near the Sacramento airport, North Sacrmaneto and do not mind being within 10-12 minute drive to downtown Sacramento, then for the value, this property might be a good value and option for you.

For this rate, I highly recommend the Hampton Inn - Airport - Natomas as alternate to staying with the city of Sacramento.

Stayed here one night with kids before flying out next day on an early flight. This isa very new property. So much so, the heated pool wasn't open yet. However, I have heard it is now open, so your experience may vary. We stayed in a 2 queen suite with pull out sofa/bed. Room is very large, has a bar and a sink along with refrig. The room is pretty quiet for being next to freeway. But they need to tone down the Heat/Air system, as it was fairly noisy. Breakfast was nice, and pleasant. Eggs, Sasuage, etc. The price for a suite was $169 and a regualr room is $159 which seems a little high for a Hampton. I have noticed they never deviate from these prices, which is strange since the hotel was maybe 25% full the night we were there. The best part about this property is it is less than 5 mins from SMF. And a free shuttle runs back and forth to the airport. All and all a very nice new property with a ton of chain restaurants around that are just as new.
