La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Rancho Cordova Sacramento

6/10 Okay

"The building itself needs a lot of work but the staff is by far one of the friendliest and most accommodating I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have stayed here several times and it is because of the customer service I receive that I continue to book here."

Historic Cary House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lots of historic charm, extremely clean, no smell at all, super friendly staff, everything works well and in good order, centrally located, restaurants and bars within the block...can't think of anything negative to say! Oh yes..the map to the parking lot...it is not so easy to follow! That's the only problem I encountered !!"

Courtyard by Marriott Sacramento Folsom

4/10 Poor

"This was one of the worst rooms we've stayed in. It was a suite. The sink was so small you could only fit two small kleenex boxes on the counter. There were 3 females in this room and we had to store items on the floor. There was very little water pressure in the hot water side but the water only came on slightly warm. The little bar of soap was soggy and not easy to use. The beds were so close together it was uncomfortable. Yet, there was tons of room by the desk, which was weird. No trash can in the bathroom. On the phone, there is no information on how to contact the front desk or room service. You had to guess. On the website, it appeared as if there was breakfast buffet included, but no. They charge for parking. Best thing, the beds were very comfortable, staff very nice and lounge tastefully done. But we won't stay here again."
