“will soon need maintenance, but still good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2012

This Inn is located in a grand old house that once belonged to an Asian magnet of some sort (Mr. Fong). The owners have tried to carry the Asian theme into the new decor. It's a bit of a strange cluster of new-age, Italianate fresco, Chinese kitch, and Japanese lacquer. But it sort of works. The space is comfortable and the building is sturdy. No creaking floors or cheesy construction. The beds were excellent. Slept better here than anywhere in months. Internet was fast and easy. My major complaint is that the hotel looks like it needs a bit of spruce up. The floors are scratched and worn; walls are dirty and badly painted (previous colors show through thin spots), some of the furniture and fixtures are a bit wonky. For example, the desk I sat at would wobble a could 2 inches either way. I was adjusting the venetian blinds and the stick fell out in my hand. The remote for the ceiling fan is nearly broken from overuse. Carpets in the bedroom were pretty dirty. Bathrooms feel quite outdated, with worn china fixtures and soap dispensers with nasty stuff accumulating in the bottom. There seems to be a rather large staff here, all friendly enough -- It's as if the owners are letting the staff run things, but are not really doing quality control or paying attention to wear and tear. One last comment on the breakfast: It was nice-ish. A cooked B&B breakfast with effort. Fruit plate was just mediocre. But you might consider self-catering, because about 2-miles away at the corner of S Street and Alhambra Boulevard is the most magnificent organic co-op I've ever found (and I've been to many, including the legendary Hawthorne Valley market). If only the Inn would buy their fruit there -- then I could forgive them all the rest of their sins.

I'm not sure if I would stay again. It would depend on rates and whether I had money to try something else. And the friendly staff does leave you feeling very positive about the place.

p.s., there is a public pool across the street, if you are into swimming. I didn't try it, but nice to know about.

“Great Relaxing Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2012

We stayed on a Groupon Certificate. We live in the area and I have always wanted to stay here so once the Groupon came up we figured why not have a staycation? It was a great experience. We stayed in the Dream Room which was very comfortable and since we like our privacy it was a plus that it was the only room on the top floor. The in room jacuzzi was spectacular and the linens were clean and fresh. The massages were fair, but it was nice that they offered couples massage. The evenine appetizers were disappointing and looked like everthing came from Costco and not upscale. However, the breakfast (delivered in bed) was spectacular and much more food than I had expected and more than I have seen at a B&B before. The best part is that it wasn't cheap pancakes or waffles, it was a wonder egg scramble. I would definately stay here again, but probably skip the spa services.

“4th time is a charm (again)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2011

We have now stayed in 4 different rooms at the Inn and will be sure to return in the future. The workers have been friendly each time and have quickly show us to our room when we arrived.
Room-
Picking a favorite room would be tough, we have stayed in Destiny, Tranquility, Dream, and Spirit so far. Each room has had its own unique decor and style. If an amazing shower is something that you look for I would suggest a stay in Dream. If you are looking for a unique bed and the experiece that comes with it I would say try Spirit. :)
When we arrived this time the told us of an issue with the TV remote in Spirit so they offered to switch/upgrade us to any other avalable room and actually opened each and allowed us to see them. The remote wasn't a problem and we decided not to switch but getting to see the other rooms was a nice plus for future trips.
Spa-
Each time we stay here my wife receives a facial/massage and has been happy each time.
Food-
When you check in they ask if there are any foods to avoid, I would say that I am picky when it comes to eating but have never mentioned a particular food. Each breakfast has included items I would normally not choose but I have found them to be wonderful each time.

Room Tip: Two houses Main house is a historic house which includes older style bathrooms (Destiny, Tranquilit...

“Property Management Going Downhill”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2011

I couldn't believe the difference since I stayed here the last time. I don't know if there is new ownership, but things have taken a turn for the worse. Whoever checked us in seemed irritated at our arrival, and I felt like I was bothering her if we asked for something. The carpet in the second building (the more expensive rooms) was stained in the staircase and main floor. The window in our room was broken and just general maintenance was lacking. This is unacceptable. A year ago, I gave a whole hearted endorsement. Now I'd say, save your money and look elsewhere.

“Best Inn in Sacto!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2011

I LOVE this place and stay here every chance I get. I'm a business traveler, and I cannot over-emphasize how incredible it is to come back to the Inn at Parkside after a long day at work and take a long soak in my personal jacuzzi tub. Breakfast in bed can't be beat either, although many of the rooms have desks or tables if you prefer not to eat in bed. Some of the less expensive rooms are on the small side, but still beautifully furnished, and the larger rooms are GORGEOUS. My favorite is Happiness, which is a bit quirky. It's located on the top floor of the original building - basically the attic - and has steeply sloped ceilings. The jacuzzi sits under a beautiful stained glass window, and the room has skylights and two fireplaces as well as a two-headed shower. The beds are out-of-this-world plush, as is the big fuzzy bathrobe. And did I mention the private mini-kitchen in the Happiness room? I wish I lived there. Some folks have commented on the neighborhood. I did live in the neighborhood when I lived in Sacramento - 2 blocks away, in fact, on U St. between 4th and 5th. It's fully of families and nice people, even if the houses aren't as upscale as some places in Sacto. I would feel perfectly safe walking in this neighborhood. If you get a chance to stay here, do! You won't regret it.

Room Tip: The original building has more personality. The newer rooms are more modern and immaculate.
