I spent a long weekend with a small group of people for a business meeting plus pleasure in August 2010. The rooms were very comfortable and the mini fridge was a blessing. The staff went above and beyond to help us out when we had to copy some papers last minute. They took us to their office and did the work for us--printing from a thumb drive and making back to back copies on their Xerox--all for no charge. The pool is very nice too and the gym.

If i need a hotel near Sacramento airport again, this would definitely be my first choice.

We stayed at this hotel for our last night on our 16 day vacation to CA. I could not have picked a better place. It was lovely. I so wish we could have spent a couple days just hanging out at this hotel for some relaxation.

It is hard to find, like a previous reviewer states, but is close to the airport, so I highly suggest it if you need a hotel near the airport.

I thought the place very cute. They have remodeled. The lobby is very inviting with its bright colors, modern spaces, intimate nooks. The little booths, open seating is great for either privacy or chatting it up with other guests. We did not check out the bistro, but I am guessing it is a good thing! Computer usage was excellent and I loved the computer chairs. Printing boarding passes is in another location, just for that purpose-how cool is that?

Front desk does not look like front desk. This I am not sure about, as we stood there contemplating if "that" was the front desk. Two others walking in after us asked us the same thing. But service was good all around and very helpful.

The outside pool area is beauiful, very nicely landscaped, with lots of very comfortable seating. Chaise loungers, chairs, benches, etc. available for your use. I was very pleased with the quality.

The room was a bit small, but very well designed. Small couch, great desk and chair, very nice TV, and the bathroom we loved. Great bath products and the shower was excellent. Plenty of storage space. Hair dryer.

The bed. OMG. The bed. OMG. The-OK, you get the picture. We both slept like logs. Must be a new bed. It was one of the most comfortable beds I had ever slept in. I wanted to take it home with me. King. I still want it. LOL.

Everything was very quiet. We never heard another guest. I had requested a high floor room (which was 4th floor I think), with extra pilows, which were in the room already! I had requested extra towels and they were in the bathroom already!! Housekeeping was friendly and helpful.

I give this a 5 rating because it deserves it.

Very nice Courtyard! To me it was very quiet. The rooms were nice, roomy and clean. My only complaint were the mattresses. You can tell they need new ones. If not for that, this would be the perfect Courtyard in every way. Extremely helpful and cheerful staff. Nice little eatery and I love how the lobby is so inviting. Fun and enjoyable pool area.

This was our first trip to Sacramento and this hotel did not disappoint.

Can't wait to visit again!

Had an early flight out of SAC (SMF) this Monday, and based on price, this Courtyard Hotel made me a believer. Located on River Plaza Drive, just three miles north of the city, this courtyard is very hard to find. There is no signage off the freeway, or on the side streets you need to drive to get there....so get your directions before attempting this. However, this was one of the very best Courtyards I have ever stayed. From Nathan, the front desk clerk, to Andre, the guy who ran the very cool diner in the lobby, I was met with enthusiastic and professional service from the get go. I do not usually mention names, but these two guys made registering a breeze, and dinner a fabulous experience. The rooms here were impeccibly clean, and outfitted with the standard Marriott excellence. Beds, as usual, are heavenly to sleep on, and the rooms more than adequate in size.
What I especially liked in this hotel was a really neat lobby. It seemed to be designed with the traveller in mind. There were private booths for a drink, or breakfast, each with its own flat screen tv, and remote, a diner which had a nice bill o fare, at fairly reasonable prices, a bar, and a host of business tools right there to utilize. Very very cool layout, comfortable and open. LOVED IT!
Shuttle service to and from SMF was fantastic, comprehensive, and friendly. All in all, I give this Courtyard extremely high marks all around. BRAVO!
