Residence Inn Sacramento Rancho Cordova

I travel to this area 2-3 times a year. I have family in the area and I visit with them and work on projects on a home we own. At the end of each day, I am anxious to have some alone time to relax, watch TV, get a good night's sleep. I have stayed at this Residence Inn as well as other extended stay facilities in the area. This Residence Inn is, by far, my preferred choice. This time, my stay was from June 9-16. My rooms were clean and well appointed.  The bedroom/bathroom is separate from the rest of the apartment. The kitchen is well equipped with a full sized coffee maker, cook top, microwave, full sized refrigerator (with ice-maker) and dishwasher. Flatware, dishes, and cooking utensils are supplied, as well. It may seem like a small thing, but all sets match. The bed is very comfortable and there are plenty of fluffy pillows. The bathroom area is clean. The vanity is spacious and there are plenty of drawers. This facility has recently undergone some renovations. The only change I noticed in the room was the bedroom closet door but it was a huge improvement. Lightweight doors have been replaced with heavy sliders. They are much easier to use. Although the facility is very close to the freeway, highway noise is minimal. Parking is abundant and the parking lots are well lit and clean. There are several key controlled entries and I was able to park close to a door that was near my room. The staff is very friendly and responsive. Breakfast is available, free, every day. There is a wide selection of hot and cold breakfast items. I like to take my breakfast back to my room but there is seating available in the dining area. I called to request a ground floor room and I got one. Due to continuing Covid restrictions, both the pool and the fitness center were available by reservation only. My schedule didn’t provide a reliable time slot and I was not able to take advantage of either one. When I have stayed at this Residence Inn previously, guests were able to indicate when the room needed to be serviced by hanging a provided placard on the door. This time, I was told when I checked in that my room would be serviced after 5 days. It was actually serviced after 6 days so everything was changed out the day before I checked out. In the meantime, I dumped my own trash and went to the front desk to get more coffee packets. I did not need fresh sheets or towels but I would have liked to have more coffee stocked in the room and a trash pick-up midway through my stay would have been good. There is a large desk/work space in the living area. The built-in plugs don’t provide USB ports. There are USB ports available in other plugs in the apartment but it would be convenient to have them in the work space. The television station selection is very limited with WAY more sports stations than anything else. I was glad I was able to record shows from my provider and watch them on my laptop. None of these shortcomings would be enough to make me want to stay anywhere

I frequently travel for both business and personal. As such, I have stayed in many hotels from the top 3 star and above chains. I am taking the time to write this review as my experiences at Residence Inn Rancho Cordova have been exceptional! I travel to the area often for business and each time I stay at this wonderful suite hotel, my expectations are exceeded again and again. To start, Kristin Goble, the Director of Sales arranged a corporate rate for us that brought the price closer to our budget. This has allowed us to use this great property each of the many times we are up there. In fact, one of my colleagues has been staying there close to three months. Each time I visit, Kristin goes above and beyond ensuring that me and my colleague guests are very happy and makes us feel so welcome as if we are at home. Additionally, I have had similar excellent experiences with Norma and Noel during my many stays. All of the staff go out of their way providing exceptional service. The beautiful suites are always impeccable. The hot breakfast is always fresh and delicious. The grounds of the hotel are very well kept and perfect for walking my service dog who travels with me. Lastly, the location is wonderful, right off the 50 and Zinfandel and in walking distance to many great restaurants and shops. This is an exceptional hotel with wonderful caring staff, awesome large suites and a superior location. I highly recommend this great establishment to any prospective guests.
