Guests generally find the hotel clean and comfortable, with friendly staff and a convenient location. However, noise from the highway and other guests, as well as thin walls, are frequently mentioned issues. Some guests also express dissatisfaction with the value for money, citing overpricing and additional charges.

    Property was nice! Wish I knew there was parking in the back of the property as the spot in the front are very small and the rear are much more roomy. But other then that the property was nice.

    Greta access to the highway. Bed was comfortable, room size was spacious. Parking was tight. Staff upon check in, was ok. Breakfast was quite small & not much offered as described. Pool & hot tub area, could use an upgrade & better maintenance with the pool/jacuzzi water. Both were dirty & left our skin feeling itchy. Our room, had a semi odor when walking in. We noticed some sort of plastic bag (similar to the ice bucket bag) that was wrapped around our fire detector in our room. Felt rushed to exit the room by cleaning staff, before our check out time. They stood right by our room door after confirming we were checking out till we walked out.

    Hotel looks a little run down. Parking area had some questionable people hanging around. My kids and I didn’t feel completely comfortable getting in to the hotel. There were some people doing some inappropriate things in the pool, and you can see the pool from the back parking area, so my kids could see it. We were only there one night so just decided to go sleep and leave early in the morning. Also, my room was booked and paid for in advance and when we got there, they couldn’t find my reservation. Expedia did a great job in helping and getting my refund back almost immediately, but the hotel was a little sketchy. Definitely not going back.

    Peaceful and relaxing hotel who have wonderful staff who work very hard for every guest. Property maintained every day. Stayed a week and had everything needed. Felt very safe, extra parking in back, most shopping stores are close to drive to. Only thing is they didn't have treadmill and shower does squeak. Pool and hot tub are amazing. Will come back when in area.

    The tv did not work and could not be fixed according to staff. They could not put me in another room as it was all booked. The elevator smelled like a foot. The hot tub had some brown grime floating atop of the bubbles. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The staff member left a note about the noted issues in order to issue a partial refund but I was fully charged for the room. It is in a pretty crummy neighborhood but close enough to downtown and other areas of Sacramento. This motel is ok but not great.

    Cons: requested extra bedding ahead and it wasn’t provided. When I asked for some, they tried to hand it to me to bring to my room myself while my hands were full which was a little wild. The room also advertised a microwave and they were not helpful in providing one until I insisted. Poor front office service. Breakfast is advertised until 10am, but they stop at 9am on weekdays which was not communicated until arrival. Last, it’s a bad area, not the best location.

    While visiting Sacramento on a fishing trip I specifically booked a hotel with hot tub facilities.The hotel room was very old looking with chips of loose wood on doors carpet was not the cleanest,room had stale odor also ,I would have left but it was a Long drive back to San Francisco that night and was tired .I was so looking forward to getting into a hot tub to relax during trip ,that was supposed to be highlight of trip for me and my guest after a long day of fishing.To our dismay when we attempted to use hot tub it was very cold we waited but tub never heated up at all,manager was very nice he apologized which was appreciated but still no hot!! That was the last straw.I was very disappointed with accommodations.I was hoping to possibly get some type of credit,I’m planning another trip to Sacramento I normally stay in the downtown area of Sacramento at the Grand Sheraton …you can check my history..I very much enjoy hotels of that caliber but they don’t have a hot tub.I canceled booking I had for Dec 5th hoping I could get some type of remediation for next booking.If not I will use another service to book room in Sacramento.Ive been a customer of yours for some time now and never had a bad experience such as this hopefully you can help me out with next booking.I would like to re-book reservation for (Hilton Embassy Suites)I just canceled if possible…let me know asap if you can…Thank You..from loyal customer! ….Charles Helton

    Location is great if needing accommodation for CAL State Univ. campus. We did not have a vehicle and used Uber when needed. Food options nearby are fast-food, so used Door Dash. Hotel breakfast options were good; but, they need a new toaster that's rated for commercial use - bread never toasted, just heated it. Room was updated and clean. Nice pool/spa but didn't use it.

    The front desk lady was super nice, friendly, she greeted us and swiftly checked us in. The room was standard 1 King bed. Linens were clean and fresh. Many pillows (some really lumpy and ready to be retired). The mattress 🙈🙈… felt like the middle is higher than the sides, because we were rolling off the bed, all through the night. Light in the room was ok, but cold and not cozy. However, the spotlights were spot on, The furniture is ok, nothing fancy. Closet doors definitely need a new coat of the lacquer. Refrigerator is functional, but the freezer was packed with ice overgrowth. Would’ve been nice to defrost it now and then… Telephones are worthy of 1990s movie set. Bathroom Towels are standard - not good, not bad. Water pressure in the shower - perfect - not too strong, not too weak- just right! The shampoo and conditioner are very nice, no obnoxious smells, in fact, quite contrary - very pleasant, light fragrance. Same with the hand soap. Whoever had chosen it for the hotel, did a great job! Thank you! 🙏 A word about the bathroom lighting - it is a perfect lighting for makeup applying before the event! Definitely 10 out of 10. Would I vet stay there again? Definitely! But hopefully with a different mattress. Sleeping on that mattress after a long and hard journey was a torture.

    The staff are friendly and helpful- especially with later evening check ins. The rooms are updated with everything you need to spend a quick overnight. The only thing that could be improved is I specifically did not reserve an accessible room but that’s what they gave me. So; the room was not as comfortable as the one I had on my last stay- things like having to prop heavy bathroom doors open with coat hangers. I feel badly for anyone who was staying alone who was disabled and trying to maneuver that. Bed was also shot- like a sink hole.

    I was disappointed because I booked this hotel specifically for the pool/hot tub and feee breakfast combo as my 3 kids and I were breaking up a long trip from SoCal to Central Oregon. The pool was cloudy and cold and the hot tub was luke warm. This was something the kids had been looking forward to and it was a big disappointment. I was also underwhelmed with the breakfast choices, but that wasn’t as big a deal as the pool/hot tub. When I spoke to the front desk lady about the hot tub she was very dismissive. I’m not as forceful as my husband (he wasn’t with us), but you shouldn’t need to be forceful to have your concerns addressed - especially in the hospitality industry.

    The hotel was nice. The room had plenty of space for our family. The breakfast had numerous choices, and the attendant was always refilling them. It has an indoor pool and spa. It is very close to the university.

    Checked in on 6/21 and front fldesk lady was very friendly and nice. No problems with the check in. Stay was good and decent for what we needed. We used the gym, pool, and hottub. Before turning in for the night I went to the front desk to request a late checkout for the following day and the front desk person asked for what time. I replied with 1pm and she said that was ok. She took my room # down and said she would submit it. I asked if it would be a charge if she replied no.Fast forward to the following morning and I get a knock at the door at 10:58am from house keeping. I informed her that we had a 1 PM check out and she asked if the front desk knew about it and I said yes I requested it last night with her approval. I soon get a call in my room from the front desk to tell me that I could not have a late check out at 1 PM unless I pay a $20. I told her that the front desk clerk the night before said I could have a 1 PM late check out and it would be no charge in her response was she’s new and doesn’t know, this is our policy. I told her that because an employee of the hotel said it was OK. Could I still have the 1 o’clock late check out for no charge and she said no. She wouldn’t even let me finish my question before saying no. So needless to say, I will never stay at another comfort Inn and suites from this point forward. She lost potential business for myself and my athletic teams that I coach coach over $20.

    We got to the hotel and walked through a cloud of Marijuana smoke on our way through the parking lot. Got to a check in desk that had a “be back in 5-minutes and waited for about 10. The hallway smelled like curry. And the Air Conditioning unit sounded like it was about to fall off the wall when we got into our room. We went back to the front desk and checked out with refund, immediately. This place made me want to shower as soon as we got to our next hotel.

    We stayed for one night and had a good experience. The room was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable. Although we were next to a busy street, earplugs did the trick. Breakfast included eggs, sausages, fresh fruit, waffles, and coffee/tea—it wasn’t too bad at all.

    I love this place, stay here often for the last 25 years. Last stay no shower curtain. Did not notice till 5 AM. The part I dislike most is, they take a $200 damage deposit on a $129 room. It's been a week and still no refund to the card. I'm 70 years old staying alone, do I look like I will damage a hotel room? I have a funny feeling they will charge me $200 for a $9 shower curtain they think I might have taken. And they were painting the building. I like fresh air and windows were masked off and taped shut even after painting.

    Facilities wise there was a nice little indoor pool and hot tub which we took advantage of (there was a fitness center as well but we didn't use that). It was easy to get to being just off 50, but be advised there is a decent amount of street noise during the week if you are sensitive to that. I thought the bathrooms were fine but others in our party thought the water wasn't hot enough in the shower. Breakfast options were great, they had plentiful options rather than the usual yogurt\cereal including make your own pancakes which the kids loved! You can tell the owners take care to maintain the property. Overall a very pleasant stay and will return if we are back in Sacramento!

    It could have been better, or it could have been worse. There was a lot of hallway noise, from the manager banging on doors to the general noise of people coming and going. The rooms do not have very good insulation. The window at the end of the hallway was broken and the room could have been cleaner, ie handprints all over the mirror.
