We stayed here with our baseball team since they had a tourny in Sac. We had a studio with queen bed and pull out couch as bigger suites were booked. The hotel was at full capacity with baseball families.

Here are the positives-
+ Check in- got to get in early around 11:30am and front desk was nice.
+ Layout/ floorplan of the room was good with kitchen, good use of space, big closet
+ Flat screen TV
+ The Waffle machine at breakfast, the waffles are good but the only good thing at breakfast. Real maple syrup packets, very good.
+ Sport court by the pool, the kids had a blast- swam, then played basketball, tennis, I even saw some kids in the gym. I felt sorry if anyone was here on business and wanted peace and quiet because it was noisy with lots of baseball boys running around! They did quiet down at 10pm when the pool closed.
+ BBQ area- we didn't use it but other families did and they liked it.
+ Location- it is by 2 plaza's that you can walk to if needed- many dining options- had stuff at the Chinese restaurant across the street- good, carls jr., jack in the box, subway, togo's, jamba juice.....
+ Alarm clock- I liked it.

Negatives-
- No children's channels like Disney or anything on the TV, my kids watched poker channel at night to quiet them down after their baths. No DVD player, what is up with Marriott with this? If they are going to cater to families, these extended hotels should have dvd's in them as a standard!
- Kitchen is dated, tho the rest of the room was updated a couple years ago so ok- laminate type counter, old appliances, it was ok for a night.
- The breakfast was very sub par and eggs and sausage were horrible. The waffles were very good but there was only 1 waffle machine. Everyone figured out it was the only good thing there so there was always a wait to make a waffle and it was in the corner which jammed up the breakfast area. They need another waffle machine and a seperate waffle area just for this to relieve the crowd.
- Spa/hot tub- no jets.

Next time, we'll try to find something newer, maybe Homewood suites, similar in price and layouts of rooms and amenities but newer. This was ok, cheap for $100 and the kids had fun playing and being together so I guess that's what's important!

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.)
