First, this is just not the best place to stay in Sacramento. For several years, the regional office I reported to was in Sacramento and I stayed in a number of hotels while in town on business. My favorite? The Hilton Garden Inn (decent prices, very quiet, very comfortable beds, decent food on site). Their prices are a bit higher than the Larkspur, however, and they've become popular over the years so getting in can be a little tougher.

At the Larkspur, we stayed in a room with a queen sized bed, so it may not have been their largest room. It had adequate space, nothing more than most American hotels these days. The bed was comfortable, but nothing really to distinguish it from other average beds.

Our room was very clean and the bathroom large and also very clean, two plusses in my book. We were just staying a day, so all of the kitchen facilities were wasted on us as we had no use for them. If we would have been staying several days, having a large refrigerator, decent stove, and dishwasher would have been handy. For us, they only ate up space and the fridge was noisy at night. Having free laundry service on site was a plus.

The room itself was pretty dated and definitely could have used updating. When we booked the room, we were told they recently installed larger flat panel TV's, but didn't say they only had basic cable so the larger screen only accentuated the grainy picture. They had both wired and wireless Internet access which was nice and even had an ethernet cable in the room which was thoughtful. Basic access was free and very adequate for email and Web browsing. You could pay for higher speed access if you needed it.

There are signs posted to let guests know that they have sensors to let them know if any of the in-room electronics (e.g. TV) are tampered with. The kitchen isn't overly stocked so it you need to borrow a cork screw, you have to sign out for it and agree to pay for it if not returned. Both of these factors made us a little less comfortable with the hotel. They did tell us they had security patrolling the parking lot at night.

We paid $125 for the night, mid-week, off season, which we felt was high given the quality of the room.

The biggest plus was the breakfast. Fresh fruit, good selection of yogurts, plenty of choices for bagels, nice assortment of cold cereals, good selection of bottled juices, and good coffee.

Bottom line: Would we stay here again? Probably not.

Had s "suite" for 2 nites. I've learned a suite doesnt always mean a separate sitting area, which I like because my wife and I have different schedules. Buit, all in all, a very nice stay. Quiet rooms. Comfortable rooms. Just OK breakfast. Not a lot of extra amenities, but for the price, very nice. Will stay again. A bit off the street so keep a llokout for the Mel's Diner in front when trying to find it.
Nice, accomodating staff. Had heavy footed folks above me, so you mite want to opt for top floor.

Our family spent just one night at the hotel. We wish that we could stay more. The room was well designed to fit 2 bedrooms, living and kitchen in one. But, who bother to cook since they have everything you need in the lobby - all day snack and breakfast, just like B&B. Also provided was guest laundry room, very convenient if you were on the road just like us. We had a good night sleep, thanks to the most comfortable beds of all hotels!

I stayed here for one night recently for a business trip. The room was large by hotel standards, had a separate bedroom with its own tv, and a nice kitchenette. I have to specifically comment about how comfortable the beds are. They have a normal mattress with a giant padded topper on it that I wanted to buy for home. Even with a cold, I slept amazing. There is a living/kitchen combo that has a couch, bar/table/desk, and space to move around in. All the dishes are there as well.

The kitchen has a full fridge, small dishwasher, stovetop (no oven), coffee pot and a microwave. So, if you wanted to do any baking, you won't be able too. But why would you??? They serve fresh baked cookies every night at the front desk.

They also have free breakfast, and while it looked great I cannot comment on it as I just had coffee.

We are planning a move to New York City and I was amazed at how big this room is compared to the apts. we are looking at renting!
