For most travelers, Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is the clear and practical choice: it sits just 15 km from the city center, handles the bulk of domestic flights, and offers the most efficient transit options. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport (OAK) serves the nearby city of Oakland and is a major international gateway, though it is far from Sacramento and requires a multi-modal journey involving trains or coaches. The remaining options, Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK), Napa County Airport (APC), and Buchanan Field Airport (CCR), serve their respective neighboring cities and are generally only viable for private aviation or niche travel needs. Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) is located in the neighboring city of Stockton, while both Napa County Airport (APC) and Buchanan Field Airport (CCR) are in the North Bay area, well outside Sacramento city limits. When choosing an airport, balance the direct convenience of SMF against the potential for cheaper fares at larger regional hubs if you are comfortable with longer ground transfers. Practical tip: always check real-time traffic conditions before choosing taxi or rideshare services for longer distances.

The hotel is older but kept very clean. When checking in, I was told clearly that no smoking or pets were allowed, but when I entered the room, a strong smell of pets hit my face, and the dog in the room next to me barked wildly. . .FromUS$103

Our son attends Sac State, so this hotel is our home away from home. We stay 5 or so times per year. When you visit, you MUST say ”hello” to Alfredo who is the friendliest breakfast buffet attendant you will ever meet. The food is also awesome. The rooms are roomy and the beds are very comfortable.

Great location if you are going to the game at Golden 1 Center. My first impression through the main hallway to the front desk was a bit unpleasant because there were many flies right at my face. The check-in/out process was very quick and smooth. I do need to call out the housekeeping service because they mistakenly came knocking in the morning twice (9am, 10am) trying to clean the room, when it was the morning or my checkout. I was in a meeting, so that was a bit disturbing.FromUS$170

The room was spacious, with a living room where there was plenty of room to move around. The tap had a strong water pressure, making it very comfortable to use. The breakfast selection was standard American. There was a laundry room available for self-service. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. I later extended my stay for another night.FromUS$149

In addition to breakfast, sausages, eggs, waffles, buns, cereals, milk, coffee, and fruit, as well as gourmet food made on-site, good food! The most want to say is that here and the Hilton on the edge of the airport, not comparable, but the price is almost! If you rent a car, get together for 10 minutes. The suite is two TVs, but watching TV sleeps does not interfere with each other! The bridge outside the window is golden! There is a microwave in the refrigerator, but it is not big.FromUS$135

The room had a strong smell that we had to crack the window and turn on the air for the smell to go away, the place is old, so for the price of $130 a night is ok right? Well..
So I booked this room using trip.com app and because of that the front desk girl required me to pay $250 as a security deposit.. if not I had to leave, so if you add it up, to stay a night at this place in a so so room, I had to charge $129+$250 security deposit +10 parking = so after $390 I could have a night of sleep. I just hope I can get my deposit back as soon as possible.
They said 5 to 7 days.
So just you know before you go!FromUS$144

Downtown Sacramento Sacramento|0.44km from city center
In order to visit relatives, I chose a hotel close to their home. The average room rate is close to 300 US dollars per night. In terms of 2000 RMB per night, the room is constantly dusty, the carpet is not very clean, there may be too many tourists, and there is no way to do it properly. During the 4 days of staying, there were 2 big and one small, and I had been informed in advance, but I had to be informed again every day to provide an extra set of bath towels. The sheets on the bed were not long enough, so a piece of the cleaning pad was leaked, and even the pillows were forgotten after making the bed... For cleaning, the lamps were put on the head of the bed and forgot to put back... Little things like that. The sound insulation of the room is very poor, except that through the bathroom ventilation duct, you can hear the sound of cars whizzing by on the street outside. On the third day of check-in, there is a large-scale wedding, and the party next door will last until 12:30 in the morning. The front desk informed several people Only once did I give up.
The location is not bad, close to the old city, state capital... But because it is located in the downtown, there are a lot of young people. On the second night of our stay, we met Blink182's performance. The plaza, nearby stores and restaurants were full of fans, and the air was filled with a strong smell of smoke. What's more, breakfast can only be ordered to the room. There is no restaurant that provides breakfast, and there is no supermarket (the hotel does not provide water, and there will be an extra fee for asking for water at the front desk). It is not used to and inconvenient for children. More business-oriented and young, Posh! The hotel swimming pool is good, but it is a pity that it is open until 7:00 in the evening. A bit early for Sac summer.
Overall, this is a hotel suitable for young people, not for family travel. The hotel staff is pretty good. It's just that I am personally older, so I probably won't come back to this hotel next time.FromUS$245

Downtown Sacramento Sacramento|0.42km from city center
Overall: would stay again! Nice hotel, room, bar, food, very convenient location.
LOCATION: Convenient! Right next to DOCO and the Golden 1 Center. Old Sac is a few minutes walk away. Public transport nearby.
HOTEL: The decor was a lovely, sophisticated, modern take on various historical periods. Music is a theme, nodding to the historic past of the building.
Balcony bar - Art Deco. Clean, eye-catching, charming. Emerald velvet chairs and gold-toned metal accents, whimsical 1920’s & ‘30’s music playing overhead, and servers dressed in simple roaring ‘20’s attire. Menu: Small bites. Phyllo baked brie, oysters, ahi poke, short ribs, Asian lettuce wraps, and more.
1st floor restaurant - “7th Street Standard”, is the name. Bright & elegant with simplicity. This restaurant can be a standalone; it’s better than a “hotel restaurant” in food quality, artistry, and presentation. Didn’t eat here this time, but have before. I recall everything being good! Great drinks last time!! Had happy hour drinks this time ($10), still great! Handcrafted, fresh, subtle sweetness for balance, nothing syrupy or fake-colored (reg price $15). Happy hour food and drinks available 3-6pm. Full menu includes trout, salmon, pork belly, and other goodies.
ROOM: I like the decor. The lamps were cool: gold dipped bulbs, bronze-colored cones, retro meets are deco feel. There’s a handy motion-censored light under the bathroom vanity when you don’t want to turn on a bright light at night, light-framed mirror for easy getting ready, spacious bathroom. Views from my particular room were not worth seeing. Good blackout curtains in-room, lots of natural light when open. Bathroom basics included: shampoo, conditioner, lotion soap. Not included: q-tips, cotton balls, etc. The mini fridge could fit some small leftover food boxes. Plenty of outlets near the bed. I don’t recall any food snacks offered for sale. $5 Fiji. Open rack closet, and drawers available. I believe my room was 320 sqft, with enough space to roll out a mat and do a room workout, if that’s your thing (or gym on 4th floor).
AREA OFFERINGS: There’s a Starbucks Reserve steps from the hotel and many places to eat, drink & entertain within easy walking distance (steakhouse, bowling alley, movies, rooftop pool bar, beer vault, and SO much more!). While it’s a nice area (million-dollar condos and attractions next door), another block over in one direction becomes a not-so-nice area (homelessness and refuse), so just be mindful of what direction you’re heading, if that bothers you.
PARKING: There are unattended daily parking lots right next to the hotel ($13-$16ish/10hrs), hourly metered parking, attended hourly/daily lots, valet ($40 seems to get you 2-day parking with in & out privileges; I valeted early evening, pickup needed before 2:45-ish a.m. on the third day). Valet had a very easy texting system. They texted me my valet ticket with a clickable link to call my car when desired. The link let me know the progress of my incoming car (“requested”, “on the way”, “ready”), so I knew exactly when I needed to head out and could enjoy my time until then. You can tip through the link, too. FromUS$179

The hotel is large and spread out across a vast area. It is situated in the heart of Sacramento, making it easily accessible to visit downtown and other areas. Many good restaurants are nearby. The building is old, probably built in the 80s, but the rooms are remodeled, clean, and spacious. The price for a Sunday stay in June was very affordable, which is why we chose this hotel. The only complaint is the confusing shower. The blue dot indicated hot water, and the red dot indicated cold water. No instruction or warning sign, so my daughter had to take a cold shower. We thought the hot water was out, so called a maintenance guy, who came right away and was friendly, by the way. This was a more affordable option in a safe and convenient area, suitable for a family budget trip. And, of course, we loved the welcome cookies!FromUS$107
