Top Sacramento Zoo Hotel Reviews

Delta King Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here several times. Employees are very helpful, food great, valet efficient, terrific shopping and restaurants in the area. Beautiful location and extremely comfortable beds."

Hyatt Regency Sacramento

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location 15mins from SMF airport, 10mins from arden mall, 1hr from Pinole, valljo, fairfield and 130mins to Oakland and Emeryville. Staff was attentive, professional and friendly. 3min walk to Starbucks. Bartender was helpful patient and drinks were delicious. Parking is on 12th street on the left right before you get to L street light. Only a $50 dollar deposit per night. Self parking is $25 per day, but they also have valet which is 50 a day."

Home2 Suites by Hilton West Sacramento, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and overall stay was great."

Vagabond Inn Executive Sacramento Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was easy. Great spot if you got an event to go to at golden 1 arena and just want somewhere to sleep comfortably."

Vizcaya

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a concert at Channel 24, which was great. Only an 8 minute walk through a nice neighborhood. I stayed in the carriage house which was small and could use a little facelift, but nice overall. Loved that it had a big bath tub! I was able to get free parking on the street for the duration of my stay, no problem. My only complaints were the tv disconnected from the WiFi within the first 30 minutes of my stay and I couldn’t figure it out, I wasn’t invested enough to call and have someone come check it out for me tho. And I couldn’t get into the main building to get morning coffee or the free breakfast even with my key. The top lock was locked. I could have rang the doorbell but decided to leave and get Starbucks in the way home lol."

Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown-Arena by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location for Arena and Old Sac. Adjacent to I-5 therefore can get noisy. Nice staff and nice room. Be warned of $35 parking and $6 muffins."

The Citizen Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing time at this hotel, staff is so friendly and kind."

Harbinson House

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing place to stay! It was cool to be able and book on here as the experience is definitely more inline with a BNB. If you don't know, Harbinson House is a 1912 historic Craftsman home. Thanks to Rhonda, the on-site host, I learned how it was designed by California's first state architect, George C. Sellon. Now, it's operated as a unique boutique guest home. It features heavily artistic, themed rooms like an Alice in Wonderland wonderland room (which I was fortunate enough to stay in) and a romantic French-themed room. The architecture, period-correct furniture, and eclectic art makes for an amazing experience. And while it is older, the amenities are modern. And the AC definitely blows cold for those hot summer days in Sacramento. The only thing I missed in the booking was that it's a common bathroom upstairs for the guests. Just something to note if you get a chance to stay here. But what an amazing experience all-around!"

Sky Riders Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice owner"
