“Very pleasant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

The hotel photos don't do the place justice. It is really very nice, with spacious rooms and an open and light-filled lobby which invites one to sit down with a cup of coffee. The staff was exceptionally pleasant. Breakfast was average and being gluten free, I didn't partake. At least the coffee was good and strong. I would stay here again.

“A very nice, clean hotel just off the 5 freeway.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

I stayed only one night at the Governors Inn Hotel in Sacramento, CA. The hotel is located off the I-5 Freeway, however, is really not near downtown. A large railroad yard stands inbetween the hotel and downtown. I noticed that a Tram Station is being built as part of the link to the Airport. The hotel itself was VERY clean and VERY comfortable. I enjoyed the fact that they use sensor lighting and have natural products for the bathroom. The best touch was a laundry basket for the used towels. The hotel is located next to a MCD and across the street from a Dennys. Besides those two, I didn't notice any other place to eat. The only draw back is the location of the new Greyhound Station, just down the street.

Dear Bjaysfan21, Thank you for your review on TripAdvisor. We are glad you liked our efforts to make our hotel very energy efficient. Our staff works really hard to ensure our hotel is kept very clean and comfortable. The River District where are hotel is located is in a great location as the city and the businesses are investing heavily into the area. The Denny's you mentioned is brand new and just opened this week. The Sacramento Police Department's north division, CHP Headquarters and the California Lottery Offices are also located in the River District, along with a brand new light rail station. The city and state have recently completed a multi-million dollar street scape and freeway offramp/underpass improvement project. We could not be happier about all the exciting changes taking place. Thank you so much for staying with us!

“Great Hotel - Bad location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

It is too bad this hotel is located in a less than desirable location. Saw some seedy characters in the vicinity, but certainly didn't feel endangered. It is clean, accommodating and reasonable. Free internet in lobby, complimentary continental breakfast & pleasant personnel. I would certainly stay here again.

Dear epruch, Thank you for staying with us. I mentioned to another TripAdvisor reviewer that the City is investing millions of dollars in the River District. The Blvd., freeway underpass and off-ramp have already undergone significant improvement to make it even easier for visitors to access the services along Richards Blvd. Also, our area is among the safest in Sacramento because we have both the Sacramento Police Department North Division and CHP headquarters are located along the Blvd. A new Denny's, Texas BBQ restaurant and other eateries are also nearby.

“Great Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

We have stayed at Governors Inn on several occasions while visiting family in Sacramento. Can't find a better place, for the price or the cleanliness of this hotel, in our opinion, plus they have a good breakfast before heading out for the day. McDonalds is right next door too & a new Dennys Restaurant is "opening soon" across the street.. We will stay here many more times in the future.

Room Tip: We believe the 3rd floor is best and so quiet.

“Clean and spacious”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012 via mobile

Stayed here with my husband and daughter for 3 nights. An excellent value! Room was very large and spotless. Easy to get anywhere in Sacramento. I arrived by train from san Francisco and free shuttle arrived promptly. Guess my only minor minor complaint was driver was not super courteous-- did not open unfamiliar van door-- said get in etc. but could be I have been spoiled by southern hospitality. Breakfast has varied choices-- just wish there had been some fresh fruit-- but my daughter loved the FRESH doughnuts. Stay here instead of a large chain--- you'll have lots of space all that you need and save $$$.
