El Dorado Hills Vacations from $549

You do get complimentary ear plugs for the train which helped for that noise but I was not prepared for the noise from the upstairs rooms late at night. Everyone should wear the ear plugs!

If you need a quick place to sleep it's fine. The parking lot is gated. You have to badge in to get through. There was literally a homeless person's belongings out on the sidewalk. We never saw them but geez. Management should do a better job keeping the property cleaned up. The room itself was fine, clean and serviceable. We started to eat at a nearby Denny's but that was a bust too. We literally left and went to IHOP Service was VERY slow. We waited at least 30 min for the girl to even get back to us. Coffee the cook brought us was cold.

I should have read the reviews. Outside of the location, I can't think of a good reason to stay here again. Check in was a breeze. Front desk was pleasant. Bed was comfortable (but sheets stained). Nice view from the patio, and two free liquid death waters. Outside picknick tables and multiple corn holes. Not to mention nice patios with fire pits. Thats where the fun ends. I chose this hotel because they had an ice bath and it was 3 miles away from my 50k race. Unfortunately the ice bath wasnt working. Good thing the lake is right across the street. We stayed on the bottom floor in the enclosed hallway where the laundry is and we didnt get much sleep. Best to stay on the top floor. Saturday we had decent neighbors but you could hear every little noise. The walls are paper thin so even with respectful neighbors, this place is loud. Doors closing, people talking, tvs running. Its a lot. They are aware of how thin the walls are so they provide ear buds on the sink to drown out the noise. Sunday night was pretty awful because the people in the next room were on the patio partying it up until 11:30pm before taking it inside and running it up until 3am. I had just ran a 50k and I didnt sleep more than 2.5 hours because of them. To top it off, housekeeping started their duties at 7am. Doors slamming, laundry running, loud conversations. No chance of us trying to recover from the night before. If you're looking for somewhere quiet, this is not the spot.

It was a nice stay. The room felt new and has a good cabin-like cozy vibe. Do remember bringing your own toothbrush & toothpaste as the hotel doesn't have them.

The hotel was very nice and well maintained. Staff were all very helpful & courteous. Beds were comfortable and room was quiet. The only thing that could have been better is to have a heated pool.
