Hampton Inn & Suites Sacramento Cal Expo

“Nice, clean hotel - don't forget to pay for your parking”

Very comfortable room & bed; large Smart tv with steaming options. Outdoor pool was clean and inviting. Parking fee (disclosed) is $10, which is ridiculous for this sub-optimal area of Sacramento - 4 miles from Cal Expo. Imagine this is their workaround for not being able to charge some other junk … more

Very comfortable room & bed; large Smart tv with steaming options. Outdoor pool was clean and inviting. Parking fee (disclosed) is $10, which is ridiculous for this sub-optimal area of Sacramento - 4 miles from Cal Expo. Imagine this is their workaround for not being able to charge some other junk like a "resort fee." Front desk agent was flat and boring but got me the keys to the room fairly swiftly.

“Standard Hampton, but with a parking fee”

Over the years we stay often at Hamptons, mostly like this one, out of city center to avoid high rates and parking fees. However, this hotel implemented recently a parking fee (10$) despite being 15-20 min drive from downtown Sac. That's one star down. Another star goes for a pretty dirty pool we d… more

Over the years we stay often at Hamptons, mostly like this one, out of city center to avoid high rates and parking fees. However, this hotel implemented recently a parking fee (10$) despite being 15-20 min drive from downtown Sac. That's one star down. Another star goes for a pretty dirty pool we didn't want to use in that condition. Otherwise, all was OK to standards we're used to. Room was clean and modern and seems recently renovated. Try to get a room opposite the hotel's front part which is close to freeway. Breakfast OK for US standards. Young receptionist Ana was kind and pleasant to talk to.

“$10/Night Parking Fee!!!”

My big beef with this hotel is their $10 per night parking fee - for self parking in the hotel's surface parking lot. What a rip-off!! The parking fee is mentioned on their website, if you really search for it (which I did after being surprised by the fee when I checked in). This extra charge shoul… more

My big beef with this hotel is their $10 per night parking fee - for self parking in the hotel's surface parking lot. What a rip-off!! The parking fee is mentioned on their website, if you really search for it (which I did after being surprised by the fee when I checked in). This extra charge should be (1) included in the hotel's nightly charge, so we see it up front when booking and/or (2) mentioned front and center in bold, extra large print on the hotel's home page. Other than the ridiculous parking fee, the hotel accommodations were comfortable and super clean. The rooms are newly renovated. My room's fresh, modern decor, with window shades rather than curtains, a walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead and a comfy bed, was great. Although the hotel was busy with a mix of families and business professionals, my room was quiet. The breakfast buffet was clean and well-stocked. Front desk staff were OK but not great, sometimes so busy chatting with each other that guests had to interrupt for service. When I checked out, the front desk rep was so busy on a personal phone call that I had to interrupt her to request a copy of my receipt, which she printed out and shoved at me while still yacking on the phone. Hilton, I hate the new Zero shampoo, it makes my hair feel like dry straw. Please bring back Neutrogena!

“Buyer beware-hidden overcharges everywhere”

The hotel room was recently remodeled and is truly functional and beautiful; however, I was quoted a price of $155 for Thursday night (3 adults, 2 small dogs) and $168 for Friday night. On checkout, I was shocked to get a bill for $628!! Turns out that this hotel charges $75 PER PET, PER NIGHT an… more

The hotel room was recently remodeled and is truly functional and beautiful; however, I was quoted a price of $155 for Thursday night (3 adults, 2 small dogs) and $168 for Friday night. On checkout, I was shocked to get a bill for $628!! Turns out that this hotel charges $75 PER PET, PER NIGHT and $10 a night to park in the parking lot outside your room!! No one EVER mentioned these charges, nor the $18.60 and $20.16 a night “Occupancy Tax” or the $1.55 and $1.68 “Tourism Infrastructure” Tax or the $4.64 and $5.04 “Tourist Assessment “ Tax. My best advice is to vacation elsewhere. I won’t be staying here again.
