Top Sacramento Hotel Reviews

Governors Inn Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice big rooms for the price and comfortable beds and plenty of free parking. Near Old Sacramento"

Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown-Arena by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is our favorite place to stay when visiting Old Sac as it is very conveniently located to a lot of things! The only downfall that is starting to have us look elsewhere for future stays is the constant increase in price for parking in the hotel parking lot! I understand the garage next to the hotel is cheaper but there’s a parking lot that’s closer and more convenient so why the $49/night fee?!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Rancho Cordova Sacramento

10/10 Excellent

"Was in town for one night. Less than 6 hours of sleep before having to be on the road again. Location to the venue was perfect, staff was kind, rooms were clean. Beds were comfy and served their purpose well. Actually was able to relax and get some sleep which is usually hard for me in hotel rooms. Elevator was sketchy but we survived. Will book again next time I'm in town!"
