I have stayed in and around Sacramento in a variety of hotels as I have to travel on business from Chicago. After the last trip I will only stay here. The large suites are picture perfect, with tons of room if you're traveling with family. Wireless/Broadband is available, and you can literally set up a portable office in your room.
Like everyone, I want certain things when I stay.
Service: Great front desk people, courteous and responsive cleaning staff. Everyone goes out of their way to say hello.
Cleanliness: Very clean. You can tell that the staff do not do the cursory job you seem at some hotels. My rooms there have been sparkling.
Good cable TV: Yes, they have it.
Access to restaurants and shopping: Located on a drag near Cal-Expo, there is a plethura of fast food type places, and you're close to shopping.
Ease of ingress/exiting: Only drawback. Because the hotel is located on a busy street, traffic can be a challenge. If you have to cross lanes to leave then avoid rush hours.

  • Liked — Spacious suties, great service, and clean rooms.
  • Disliked — traffic in the morning and evening is challenging

My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel while visiting family in Sacramento. We chose this hotel due to its location in relation to the people we were visiting.

Our room was very spacious and well laid out - living room, dining room, kitchen combo downstairs and a loft bedroom upstairs. There were 2 bathrooms and there was also a murphy bed downstairs. It would be a nice arrangement for a longer stay or additional people since there was space to spread out.

The upstairs bed was reasonably comfortable and the linens were fine. We didn't try the murphy bed downstairs.

The room had been partially updated - new counters over old cabinets, older appliances, new carpet and window treatments, newer furnishings, old popcorn ceilings (and our room was upstairs with no one above, so no reason for a popcorn ceiling). Overall it was clean and reasonably well cared for, but there was room for improvement.

The hotel is located on a busy street, but close to quite a bit - so the location has positives and negatives, depending on what you are looking for.

The people at the hotel were very friendly and the complimentary breakfast was above average. The coffee was ok, but not great. We went down the street to Peet's to get our morning fix.

  • Liked — Spaciousness of the room
  • Disliked — That the room had only been partially updated when they remodelled.

It's hard not consider price when rating a hotel room, In this case I paid $155 plus taxes for a "suite". Unfortunately this was a partially updated room (countertops and furnishings) but the appliances floors and cabinets were really beaten. When I arrived the room was about 90 F (no exaggeration!) due to a faulty bath heater.

I always stay at Marriott because of well-trained staff and well-kept rooms. This was an exception to the well-kept rooms experience. the room reminded me of one of the many recycled hotels that get re-branded when they fall into disrepair.

If I have other experiences like this hotel, I will re-think my Marriott preference.

We stayed here one night and one day while our hardwood floors were being refinished. We made the reservations directly with the hotel in hopes of checking in early. The front desk told us that a room would be available at noon. We arrived at noon and of course, no we didn't say that line. So, I was a little frustrated since, I called only an hour before. If they had sai no they didn't have any rooms available until check-in I would have found other things to do until that time. Anyways, we came back at 5 pm to check-in.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom so, that my husband could go to bed early for an early day at work. The 2 bedroom did not work out well as the master is located on the second floor and is a loft that opens up into the living room & kitchen. The other bedroom was off the living room with french doors that didn't offer much sound proofing.

Also, with my kids running up and down the stairs I felt sorry for the person below me as the floors moved as they walked. I could hear the maid in the unit next to us in the morning. We were in unit 911 which was far from the traffic noise of Howe Avenue so, that was nice.

The matress was horrible as it was too soft almost like a foam matress. The countertops in the bathroom & kitchen were updated. However, the cabinets looked very sad and need replacing as well as the flooring. The baseboards were very dirty. The place was okay clean but not perfectly clean. The coffee table was scratched up. Also, the place was very dark.

The daily breakfast was nice. We had a choice of pancakes, eggs, sausage, 3 juices, freshly made waffles, muffins, toast, bagels, yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese, potatoes, etc.. It was adequate but nothing to write home about but definitely cheaper than eating out.

I'd stay here if I needed to but not as a vacation spot.

  • Liked — Convenient to restaurants, shopping mall, etc...
  • Disliked — Not very clean and thin walls.

Our Family of 5 stayed on Labor Day Weekend for a night. The property was ok. The placement of the place was ackward. The pool next to a busy street. It felt like one of those many Motels in Tahoe on the main street. I guess space in Sacramento is limited.
The rooms were clean and the service was friendly. It just seemed like an extended stay truck stop.
I think next time we will stay in a hotel.
