The front-desk staff could not have been nicer and the location was very convenient to I-80. The guest rooms needed maintenance (paint, trim replacement, bathtub fixture reinforcement etc.) and the advertised guest room "refurbishing" looks like it was done somewhat "on the cheap". The bedding and towles were clean and the beds were satisfactory. The grounds, lobby and front desk areas were much better maintained than the guest rooms. The static display P-51D Mustang (seen on the hotel's web site advertisement) had been removed prior to our visit. Too bad as I was looking forward to seeing it and taking some photos.
Because of the guest room condition I would rate this hotel at no better than 2 to 2 1/2 stars. Again, the front-desk staff members were very nice and the best part of our stay. They probably would have given us another room if we had requested it but my guess is that it would have been about the same.

Stayed here for two nights on business for $99/night. The hotel is 30-45 minutes from downtown Sacramento. There are a lot of stores and restaurants in the area (you'll need a car). Try "Strings" restaurant about a mile down the road for some decent Italian food. Bed was comfortable. Room and bathroom were clean. Service was friendly and efficient. Workout room was small but decent cardio equipment. The is a full-blown gym in a shopping center across the street. It's $5/day with your room key and a discount card you get at the Hotel's front desk (ask). My computer does not have wireless cability and I had to use dial-up to connect to the internet. Decent selection of channels on the TV.

Stayed at the Holiday Inn on September 24, 2005. This hotel is nothing special. Bedding looks worn and so does the upholstery on the sofa in the room I had. Bathroom was clean, but also dated.... I think during the last remodel, they installed a plastic all-in-one prefab shower/tub unit over the existing tub. Why? because when I got in the shower, the floor of the tub flexed and there was clearly empty space below it. Somewhat of a hazard I would think, since the floor gives. A/C is a wall unit. Towels were great! Nice and fluffy and thick! Loved that they provided actual water glasses in the room. Probably would be better to set them up on the desk in the bedroom rather than on the bathroom counter next to the toilet. Yikes! There is a restaurant on site and room service as well. Ask for a room away from the freeway.

We had a nice time at this hotel. The front desk staff was very helpful and did their best to assist us in finding our way around town. The suite was fine, but getting a little worn around the edges. We had a view of the pool. The pool was very clean. The pool deck, on the other hand, was in the process of being re-painted and it needed it. There was dog waste that had been out on the deck for obviously a long time. The deck chairs were dirty and could use a good scrubbing/refreshing. The suite did not have a fridge or mini-bar, which was unfortunate. The location of the hotel is good in that there are many stores and restaurants nearby and it is very accessible to the interstate. I would say that with a bit of refurbishing, this hotel would be quite nice.
