This is my first Yelp review, though I'm very familiar with the review process. I felt compelled to…read moretake a moment to express my appreciation for Ed, the manager at Sacramento Guest Services, as well as the wonderful cleaning lady--I believe her name is Norma.
I noticed some negative reviews from people who clearly don't understand what this accommodation offers. As a frequent traveler, both domestically and internationally, I pass through Sacramento monthly and always stay here--unless they're fully booked (which, understandably, happens often). When that's the case, I'm forced to settle for a hotel, and let me tell you--nothing compares to Sacramento Guest Services.
These are fully furnished apartments, not just a basic hotel room. Here's what you get:
A full-size kitchen with a microwave, cooktop, dishwasher, and dining area that's always fully set
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a washer & dryer (with detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets provided--free of charge!)
A friendly and accommodating cleaning service
Amenities galore, including free Wi-Fi, a phone with no extra charges, and a fully stocked linen closet with extra towels and sheets
Competitive pricing--it's actually cheaper than the nearest comparable option, Extended Stay America, which only offers a small studio-style room at a higher nightly rate
If you're looking for a place to party, this isn't it. It's a quiet, comfortable, and well-managed accommodation. That said, if you respect the fact that people live here permanently, there's a balance--you can have guests over without issue. And if you really want to go out, downtown Sacramento is just a $7 Uber ride away, where nightlife is abundant.
As someone who has stayed in everything from budget motels to five-star hotels across the South Pacific, Dubai, Japan, and Thailand, I can confidently say that Sacramento Guest Services remains one of my most convenient and comfortable choices. It's truly my home away from home.
I've been staying here at least once a month for nearly two years and have never once had an issue--not a credit card dispute, not a noise complaint, nothing. The management is fair, professional, and committed to providing a great experience.
For those reading negative reviews, trust someone who knows this place well. I don't personally know Ed or anyone who works here beyond casual greetings, so this is an unbiased review from a loyal customer. Five stars, without question. If anything, I almost regret leaving this review because Sacramento Guest Services feels like one of Sacramento's best-kept secrets.
