On a business trip from London I stayed at Arden Acres for 3 months. I have to say the mini cottages are so adorable, and the staff so eager to help. The cottages are extremely modern and very clean; the house keeping staff are just fantastic.
The location was perfect with only being 10-15 minutes from downtown and seconds from highway 80 and the Arden Mall.
If I ever come back to Sacramento I will definitely stay here again and I will be recommending it to all my friends and family.

I stayed here with my wife and 2 small kids for a month while I was doing an internship at UC Davis medical center in Sacramento. Best things about this place is it is very clean, It looks JUST like the pictures they have posted on their website. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and they were very accommodating to our small family. Our microwave broke and they got us a new one in about 20 minutes. The location is about a 5-10 min drive to UC Davis medical center and the light rail is a two minute walk out your front door. It is a gated community and we felt very safe staying there. This place is perfect for any sort of long term or short term stay in Sacramento. Its a nice, affordable place and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This place is all everyone says. It gave us the room we needed (one bedroom plus living room and kitchen, even a small porch), had personality and charm, was right off the freeway but behind a locked gate on a less-travelled road, but best of all was Bernice, the manager, who went out of her way to be helpful.

Whether you're just staying overnight or for an extended stay, this is the place to stay in Sacramento.

Arden Acres is a delight. I was speaking at a conference at the Hyatt Regency, which is lovely, but I didn't want to pay the price, so I booked at Arden Acres. Well, I wouldn't stay anywhere else on my next trip to Sacramento. The whole place is charming, spotless, quiet, private. The light rail is a block away and is a short ride to downtown.

The absolute best part of Arden Acres is the owners and managers, Bernice and Jackie. I felt adopted. Bernice happened to be leaving the property one morning as I headed for the train and she offered me a ride to the Hyatt. She also offered to drive me and my luggage on my last morning in town. Turned out a tailor had screwed up the sleeve on my suit, so Bernice stopped at her dry cleaners and had them fix it. Arriving at the dry cleaners with her was like accompanying the queen. They loved her, too, and didn't charge for fixing my sleeve. Where else in the world can you get this kind of love and service? If I wanted to live in Sacramento, I'd move right in.

Next time, I'd rent a car, but, otherwise, my stay was ideal. And, hey, even if I rented a car, I'd cadge a ride from Bernice once in a while just because she is so much fun.
