Top Sacramento Zoo Hotel Reviews

Vagabond Inn Executive Sacramento Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious."

Home2 Suites by Hilton West Sacramento, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. I will definitely stay again"

Holiday Inn Sacramento Downtown-Arena by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay! Very close To old town which is where we wanted to be. Room Was nice and staff very friendly. Will definitely be coming back again!"

Hyatt House Sacramento/Midtown

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and upbeat staff. Only recommendation I have is the breakfast buffet seemed understaffed, running out of food items, utensils etc. staff that was there, hard working. Great location and amenities."

The Westin Sacramento Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gorgeous, remodeled hotel. Beautiful setting on the river, with Scotts restaurant attached."

Delta King Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super interesting place to stay. Rooms were bigger than I expected. Convenient location for walking. Really nice staff. Would absolutely stay again."

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"
