TownePlace Suites Sacramento Cal Expo

As a business traveler I would avoid this hotel. My experience and opinion of the room was poor. The plumbing also did not seem to work very well and when I called to report a problem they just sent the front desk associate up to drop off a plunger. You can get much better value for your money elsewhere.

Between the train horn blowing all night, the horrible «breakfast» with super salty eggs & everything «out, no more» an hour before it closed, the old shower head that sprayed everywhere but down & the walls so thin you can hear your neighbors peeing, I was disappointed to say the least.
Yes, I’m grumpy from having that train wake me up every hour, so if you stay here, bring ear plugs or request a room opposite the tracks.
The room was clean, spacious & the bed was comfortable. With that said, I can honestly say that I wont be back. I’m sure that for $ 139 a night, I can find something quieter with some eggs that taste like eggs. Such a bummer!

Full kitchen, comfortable desk for getting work done, super comfortable bed — top 5% by hotel standards, and a nice bathroom. The room was clean, and although the wi-​fi was pretty slow, it was consistently up.
The location isn’t fantastic, as there’s not much nearby to eat. Knowing that, the hotel could do much better at stocking their pantry and providing better breakfast options (including more vegetarian and vegan options).
The parking situation was a bit of a pain, and people were parking all night long in the check-​in only spots and the accessible parking spots.
Pricey too :(

I’m usually satisfied staying any Marriott family of hotels but this location and building are quite terrible.
The walls are incredibly thin and conversations in the next room are easily heard and clearly understood.
The room we got was at the end of the hall which usually is a quiet location but I hear people in the next room, I hear people outside the room in the hallway, I hear it all.
The hotel is very close to a heavily used major train track and while I can’t see the train going by from my window, the loud horn blowing and roaring through is very disturbing, especially when it’s almost 11:00pm at night and I’m trying to fall asleep. I’m also attributing it to the thin walls.
Cleaning is a little suspect since I found an old sock underneath the bed.
Won’t be back if I’m staying in the area again.

Was very disappointed with this hotel. We stayed for two nights. We left our room on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and returned at 3:00 p.m. and our room had not yet been cleaned. When we left our room at 9:00 the maid was in the hallway cleaning the room next to us so she saw us leaving. When we informed the front desk that our room had not been cleaned they gave us two clean towels and new shampoo and conditioner. Our room was never cleaned. Don’t expect the usual Marriott type of breakfast either. No eggs, sausage or hard boiled eggs. Very minimal food options at this hotel. Good thing we had a kitchen in our room.

I just stayed here for one night because I was attending an event in Sacramento. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel overall and the rooms. Everything was spotless — and I’m very picky. Kind of an odd layout, though, as you can walk through your closet to get into the bathroom.
Two downsides, albeit minor, that I noticed:
1. No full length mirror. Definitely need one of these in a suite.
2. Towels were scratchy and very small. They need to be replaced badly, and with a larger size.

Welcoming front desk and they made us feel at home. Excellent free breakfast in the morning. Beautiful up to date room design. Enjoyed our visit to Sacramento. Definitely worth going back again.

The staff is really helpful

We stayed there on a Saturday night to coincide with attending the 2015 California State Fair.
We showed up early (11:30AM’ish) and did the pre-​check-​in procedure (credit card, id, etc.)
We were told our room will be ready around 4PM and we can pick up our keys.
We returned around 5:30PM and our room was still not ready. The desk clerk complained to me (duh!) that they were «short-​handed». Finally around 6PM we received the keys to our unit and reminded about the included breakfast starting at 7AM.
At 7:15AM we arrived hoping to have breakfast. Nothing was ready (short handed?).
Then the coffee was ready so we sip that until the remainder of «breakfast» was ready.
There were bagels, bread, make-​your-​own waffles (standard Marriott stuff). I didn’t see
the other standard Marriott breakfast items (scrambled-​eggs, sausage, potatoes, etc.).
So we waited and waited and waited. Finally I ask the attendant on duty and she said they stopped serving those items on weekends !!! WHAT !!!
We stayed at many Marriott-​branded properties (including the adjacent Fairfield? property) and always received the same breakfast items 7-​days a week.
With the combination of «short staffed» and limited breakfast items on weekends, I think this property is financially strapped.
WARNING:
Stay away on weekends unless you’re hard-​up for a room. Try the property next door but verify they serve the standard Marriott breakfasts.

I was extremely disappointed by breakfast. I had chosen this hotel over 2 other hotels strictly for the breakfast which was advertised as sausage, eggs, etc. IT ACTUALLY was toast, yogurt, and 1 waffle maker (that there was a 40 minute wait for) I have a gluten and dairy allergy which was why i chose this hotel and called and confirmed breakfast a week and a half before booking.
I dont understand why a business would falsely advertise. even the add on the table showed pictures of eggs and sausage.
Upon check in there was crumbs all over the stove and inside the burners, maybe it didnt get cleaned very well. Our room overlooked the pool which was great but we also had to look at the nasty area behind the wall next to the pool. it was pretty gross. the girls at check in were nice. I did leave a note for the manager to call me so i could complain about the breakfast since I couldnt eat any of it, and even if i did the 40 minute wait for a waffle was ridiculous. BUT HERE IT IS several days later. no call from the manager. I dont know how this place keeps its «marriott affiliation»

The room was perfect for my family of six! 2 separate bedrooms with queen beds plus the living area with a hide-​a-​bed couch! Kitchenette was perfect and well stocked (even had a full fridge & freezer!!). Clean and nice.
I only gave 4 stars because, their website promised 3 different types of free breakfast (continental, buffet & ordered), but they only had continental. The pool closes at dark (way too early!) and the free shuttle service is not available on weekends (this was not disclosed on website).

Staff are very nice, free wifi, clean and looks new! I didn’t see them but there are train tracks near by. Breakfast is decent. The room was really nice, again furniture, linens and paint look new, but there were a couple long hairs in shower, not mine. All in all its close to Cal Expo and the price is right. We’d stay here again for sure!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was clean and comfortable. I especially liked the fact there was a kitchen with a stove and full fridge. The placement of the tv was kind of awkward but it was adjustable so we were still able to see it well enough from the bed. It may present a problem if you watch a whole movie though. Stiff neck? The front desk staff was very friendly! However, there woman that hosted the breakfast (which was complementary) was a little rude. She seemed annoyed when we came close to 10 and we were still there. She literally made us feel like an inconvenience and we were very uncomfortable. So that is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

Well maintained. Friendly service. Good breakfast and workout room. Ample guest laundry room. Clean comfortable and quiet. Plus they gave us a free upgrade. Right off freeway, convenient access.

Overall a decent stay. The staff is very friendly and my room was top notch. The breakfast was a little too continental for what was advertised, and it was evident that the kitchen staff did not know how to make coffee beyond the basics. My other big beef was the «promised» shuttle service that actually only runs on weekdays (when almost no one needs it). It was basically one kid driving their small beat-​up minivan. But to be a convention hotel with no shuttle service during most of the convention was not smart. I’ll stay here again, but only when I have a car and I will likely hop across the street to the Marriott Courtyard for breakfast.

Clean, and everything works. Also has some things that most «cheaper» hotels don’t offer.

I stayed here for a few days on business. The suite was clean and spacious. It was nice to have the kitchenette. The Marriott next door has a full bar & restaurant, the food is pretty good and very convenient.
I would stay here again.

I found the TownePlace Suites Cal Expo a 2.5−3 star hotel. The property is clean and appears well maintained. The building and amenities appear late 90s to mid 2000s. The hotel was quiet, despite being quite full. Despite the kitchenettes, I didn’t really find this much different/​better than the Marriott Fairfield sub-​brand of properties.
The two issues I encountered were that upon check-​in and going to my room, I was coincidentally met by two maintenance techs who told me to stop trying to get my key to work as the door was broken. Even they couldn’t get in with the magical electronic key/​door/​lock gizmo. So I was checked into another room.
On the second night of my stay, I kept being woken up by the refrigerator as it wouldn’t stop running and had a very loud vibration. Around 4 a.m. I discovered it was a control panel in the freezer that was slightly shaking and would only stop when pressure was applied. I unplugged the fridge, reported it to the front desk in the morning, and it was fixed by the time I returned that night.
The internet connection here was surprisingly fast for being complimentary. At most hotels with free internet, it just crawls between 6-​midnight, but it was fast enough here for me to actually do work.
So, all in all, 2.5 to 3 stars. I got a decent sleep and only had a few problems.

Our family of seven stayed in the two bedroom suite for a weekend trip. It was a very pleasant experience and suited our needs perfectly. It was just like a home away from home with the wonderful plus of having someone else do the cleaning up!
The room was very clean and the decorations were pleasant.
The kitchen was good sized and contained a good amount of cooking equipment for a hotel room. There was a full size refrigerator/​freezer unit, a full size automatic dishwasher, a range, and a microwave. The only thing missing is an oven which is the reason I give it 4 stars rather than 5. Our family doesn’t use microwaves because we do not believe they are good for health. When we used the kitchen not having an oven meant having to choose things that could all be done on the range with the limited amount of equipment provided. We were able to do this but an oven WOULD have been a plus.
The staff were all very pleasant and served us very promptly when we needed service. The crib was requested upon arrival and brought very soon after check in. Later in the night one of our children locked a bedroom door before coming out of it and we needed to have someone come and open the door. The service personel came promptly and opened the door for us. The next morning we discovered the disposal in the kitchen sink got clogged (life with chidlren) and again the service was prompt.
House keeping was excellent.
They offer a complimentary breakfast buffet. We let the children make a plate of food for themselves as a treat but we had our own healthy food that we brought. The children were happy with the selection of cereals, pastries, breads, spreads, and fruit.
The beds were the most comfortable we have had in any hotel we have ever stayed in. It was literally just perfect.
There are train tracks nearby and you can hear the trains at various hours of the day and night but it didn’t phase us at all. It is somthign that could bother others though.

Decent place to spend a night and the most reasonable price in the Marriott Family in Sacramento. I was tired from a long day and no upgrade was even offered here.
The room was clean with a small kitchen, small desk, living room and a queen size bed. The walls weren’t sound proof BC I could hear someone showering on the 4^th floor in the early am. I was awaken at 5:00 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. Another con was the walk in closet was funky BC the back side connected to the bathroom.
I checked out the breakfast offering and wasn’t impressed at all. The fitness center was also small and only had a couple of cardio machines — I didn’t even brother working out.
After checking my points for my stay I just noticed that Marriott only gives 5 points credit for every dollar spent at Town Place Suites — not 10 which is given at all other Marriott Hotels with the exception of Residence Inn — Boo!
