The Sacramento International Airport is located well north of the city. There is nothing in the vicinity and nowhere to stay, except this hotel -- which is right at the airport, across the street from Terminal B. I have stayed at many airport hotels. Some are decent. Others have a real attitude about them that goes with their position as a monopolist. In other words, if you want to catch that 5:00 - 7:00 am flight or you get in at 11:30 pm and you do not live in the immediate area, you have little choice but to stay with them and, like the old Lily Tomlin send-up of the telephone company, they don't have to care -- and they don't.
The rooms are dingy and passably clean. The bed and bedding are passable. The television, toiletries and bathroom facilities are as basic as possible. The breakfast is continental and as basic as possible. There is no restaurant on the property. And if you want to park and fly, they will charge you more than is charged by the long-term airport parking lots. And if you are late due to a flight delay, they will charge you another day for parking. Nice. As one reviewer mentioned, the front desk service is indifferent, almost rude.
So this hotel should be taken for what it is; a neccessity for people who do not live in the area and who are on a very early morning for very late night flight. Don't expect to enjoy the experience but, then, that is not why anyone stays there in the first place.
I should also mention that the hotel suffers from rate creep. The rate seems to go up every time I stay there.
If this place did not have the great location I would rate it as "terrible." Otherwise, the location bumps it to "Okay with some problems."
