This was a stopover on our drive from Oregon to Palm Springs. Our reservation made through Venere was not in the system, but the front desk clerk was able to re-enter the reservation without any problem. The staff was very welcoming and even asked where I would like to be in the hotel along with offering to give dining recommendations.

The upstairs studio room was clean and everything was in order. Bed was very comfortable and pillows were nice and fluffy with plenty of support. We were definitely able to hear our neighbors...and not in a good way....but that was over fairly quickly. Other than the noise between the rooms, cannot think of anything that would make the stay better.

Breakfast in the morning had both hot and cold items with good variety. Would definitely stay here again assuming the prices remain reasonable.

While in the Sacramento area for business, I stayed at the Residence Inn Sacramento, and was very impressed. The room was very large with a fully equipped kitchen and high-speed internet. The room was very clean and the check in process was seamless. I was informed that the hotel is currently upgrading the in room TVs with new flat screens. While the current in room TVs worked fine, you can never go wrong with flat screens. The hotel provided guests a complimentary hot breakfast buffet daily and an evening social hour with free food and beverage. There was also a business center with free printing which is nice for anyone who likes to print out boarding passes in advance. The hotel is between the airport and downtown. Only a few minutes drive to each. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Sacramento.

Stayed here for a seminar being put held onsite. Short version, not the greatest stay I've ever had, but about on par with other good hotels.

Location good for highway access and couple of strip malls nearby for food, shopping etc.

Room comfortable but can sure hear other room doors when they go shut. Also if room is on outside of hotel, expect parking lot/car noise. The wired - yes, wired - internet access in the rooms is kind of complicated, but eventually got mine to work once cable got replaced.

Seminar room was pretty cramped with about 20 people, but well-lit, comfortable temp-wise etc. Even though big football game going on inside lobby right out the door of the meeting room, we couldn't hear it inside with the door closed. Staff was luke-warm when we asked if we could store all the AV gear etc for the seminar, but eventually capitulated and let us do so in the office area. (Every other hotel we'd been to in 3 weeks of doing this everyday had no probs either stashing in locked closet for us or letting us put it in the seminar room early.)

I stayed here for a business meeting in the area. When I checked in, there were quite a few people in the dining area and I was asked what was going on. They were serving a dinner of homemade tamales. I asked how much and the front desk person said it was free. I knew you got breakfast but I didn’t know dinner too. She said it’s not every night but most nights. I dropped my bags in my room - very nice size suite with a full kitchen – and ran back to get some tamales. They were really good! I stayed there several nights and have to say that it was great. If I am going to be away from my family for a few days I want to stay some place where they treat you nice. And even the other people staying there were nice. It was fun to find a few other guys who wanted to watch the NBA playoffs as well. More fun hanging out front than in my room. Oh and did I mention you got beer while you ate tamales! So on top of this, the location was great. There is a brand new shopping center next door with a Starbucks and Jamba Juice and several restaurants. The room and the entire place were very clean which is a huge hot button for me. I like to see that the staff take the time and attention to keep it clean.
