Location would be great for Receptions or large family getaways, especially if you can occupy all the rooms. No real 'food' or 'drink' amenities, so bring your own. I will note, the kitchen is spacious with modern appliances. The wife & I had a great stay. I suggest searching BOOKING.com for a reservation.

Where do I start...ok,...the bed was beyond comfortable... we just didn't want to get up…read more We called direct for our reservation, which I would highly recommend as the online booking was a bit confusing. The photos and room description was different depending on what site you looked at. There is a steep staircase to get up to the upper rooms so if stairs are an issue, book one of the downstairs rooms We had the Stafford suite and it was amazing. Nicely decorated and again, that bed was so so comfy. If you are under 5'8" you may need a step stool to get in the bed! It can be noisy with the freeway and train nearby but we weren't bothered by it. There is a huge fountain outside the window that helps. This would be a great place for a small wedding or family reunion... the whole place is inviting and cozy. I am sure the grounds are gorgeous in the spring! They do not offer breakfast so we brought some muffins and fruit and enjoyed our coffee in the parlor... you do have full use of the kitchen so If you want to cook, you can. The owners are very prompt to reply if you have questions and check in was a breeze! We will most definitely be back!

No toothbrush or toothpaste in the room but you can ask at the front desk. Upon arrival, we were given 3 key cards for one room and 2 for the other room. The grooms mom had put together a gift bag for each room so we received 2 - one for my room and one for the other room. We both left ours with the receptionist's while we went to our cars to bring our luggage up to our rooms. We forgot to grab them before we headed out for the night but assumed they would be held for us. Imagine my disappointment, when I went to go grab it later that night, that I was informed the other couple we checked in with, the girl had grabbed them. We didn't check in with a couple but we did with another female who was roomed with another female not present. Our male friend showed up as we were leaving to our cars so maybe the assumption was there but neither of them had the bags. I was told that an unknown female must have grabbed them and that one of the make receptionists thought each guest in each room was supposed to have 1 vs. 1 per room. There was only 7 left and they were for the guests checking in tomorrow. We were given the option for extra points to our account or free breakfast which we took. Food was aright but I would have eaten elsewhere had I known better. I'm knocking stars down because it was the sentimental loss of not having the bags the night prior to the wedding. I found out later that one of the groomsmen didn't get a bag so it was definitely a downer. The shower upon turning on the water had hair floating and leftover soap/shampoo was visible. I had to run the shower for a bit before going in. We were given bedding without downing at my request due to asthma and allergies and we were far from the elevator and we were on the top floor near the bride and groom and some of the groomsmen which was perfect! Convenient location with in n out down below and we were given one coupon for complimentary nonalcoholic / alcoholic beverage at Maxs restaurant.

After just one call to the Holiday Inn, I knew I was making the right choice. I spoke to a lovely person named Wongie who was very helpful and accommodating. He seriously went above and beyond to help me reserve rooms for two different nights (not in a row)... As well as assist me in making the reservation that someone else is paying for :-) So this review is basically based off of customer service. I was also impressed by the reviews that I have read about this place on TripAdvisor and Yelp. It appears that this hotel is currently the number one hotel in Auburn. I will update this review after we have actually stayed there. But so far I am very pleased

I drive by Meadow Vista Gardens several time a a month on my way up to my parents and loved the idea of getting married there. The venue definitely doesn't look like the pictures anymore, sadly. The property hasn't been well maintained for a while. There is so much potential, but the gardens and grounds have not been kept well. I found the bushes oddly hacked back and a lot of what should have been green was brown. We met with Andy, the owner. My mom connected with him over the phone and really liked him. In-person, I felt like I was being sold by a cheesy sales person. My spider senses were going off big time saying "this guy is a swindler". After we toured the venue, we started talking prices. He was already changing the prices he had told my mother on the phone. To be fair, I didn't actually have my wedding here. That's because my gut was telling me not to do business with Andy. He charges a premium for what you get. He changed the name of his venue a few years ago and there are some pretty disturbing reviews under the old name. I ended up having my wedding at Newcastle Wedding Gardens and it was incredible!

I wanted to give it 3 stars but I can be okay with giving it 4 stars. The reason why four stars…read moreover three is because the customer service was exceptional. Overall friendly, staffed and very helpful In the pro shop. The reason why I did not get five stars is the lack of service for turning. After the first nine holes, there were no amenities that were available for a golfer to hydrate and refuel. I recently played this course as a single and overall, I found the experience to be decent. The layout and pace of play were enjoyable, and it's clear that the course has good potential. That said, there are a few areas I think are worth addressing to elevate the overall experience--especially considering this is a country club with a dress code and rates that are above the average public course. Course Conditions: The greens were noticeably slow, which seemed to be due to a recent punching--likely within the past month--and the grass on the greens was longer than typical, which affected roll and consistency. Additionally, there were several areas on the course showing signs of disease or stress in the turf. I did see maintenance staff actively surveying those areas, so it looks like steps are being taken to address it, which I appreciated. Amenities and Service: The biggest drawback during my round came when I made the turn at 9:00 a.m. and wasn't able to grab any water, snacks, or food. The bar area was severely understaffed--just one overwhelmed waitress handling eight tables and no bartender in sight. As a golfer, especially on a warm day, basic access to refreshments is a necessity. A simple and practical solution would be to offer a small variety of prepackaged snacks, water, sports drinks, and maybe even grab-and-go options in the pro shop. This would ensure that players making the turn can quickly fuel up and continue the round without disruption. For a club of this caliber, that's a reasonable expectation. Driving Range Feedback: Another minor but notable issue was the inability to use a standard tee on the driving range for driver practice. Having rubber tees or designated tee areas would make warm-up sessions much more functional and convenient. Final Thoughts: I want to be fair--I did enjoy the round, and I can see myself playing here again in the future. However, a few key improvements would go a long way. I would also strongly encourage the course to consider offering a military discount. Recognizing those who've served is something many courses do as a small but meaningful gesture. Lastly, I'd hope the club might consider making this experience right--especially as a returning customer who genuinely wants to see the course live up to its full potential.

I've been there twice for Downright Country Dance Club's monthly dances held on 2nd Saturdays, 6:30 pm to 10 pm. Large rectangular room with a beautiful, smooth, light colored wood dance floor. It nostalgically reminds me of the dance hall at Twin Pines Senior & Community Center in Belmont, CA. This is probably my favorite dance venue out of the dozen or so places I've experienced in the Sacramento area. The cute retro kitchen has a few sinks with faucets upgraded within the last year, I believe. I think there may be pull down sprayers. Not much counter space. The ice cream bars someone brought weren't staying frozen in the freezer. I would order catering or hold a potluck. For the dance, we are recommended to keep the hall doors closed to maximize AC efficiency. The dance organizers bring supplemental large fans. I saw a lot of little spiderwebs in corners and along the restroom baseboards. I guess the facility isn't used or swept very often. Parking lot is shared with the library with 40 spaces. There is street parking. Hall rental rates look affordable to me. It would be nice for wedding reception dancing.
