Top Sacramento Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Sacramento International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"When I arrive"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Rancho Cordova Sacramento

8/10 Good

"Good full choice breakfast not a continental breakfast. My only concern is that the shower has a very slippery surface with no grips for prevention. All 3 of us slipped in there. The water control in the shower needs to be updated due to poor water control. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall a good stay. Price for room was good."

Governors Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had trouble with the WiFi signal in the first room we were given but the hotel gave us another room were the WiFi was good. The hotel is great but is in an area with quite a few homeless people but I did not feel unsafe at any time. The pool is quite small. We would stay there again as although the review may seem negative, it's a nice hotel in convenient location. A tip... There is a barrier in the middle of the road, so you can't turn left, in or out of the property but if go in or out through McDonald's it can be done. I didn't take a photo but if you look on Google maps you'll get the idea!"
