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.

We took an in-city vacation from our home in early August 2011. Well, it felt like a vacation, but…read morewe were evicted from our home while our house was under construction. I needed a place for my two kids, hubby and I to stay for a week. I was not looking forward to a hotel because it was pricey and we'd be sharing a room...taking on food expenses, etc. THEN, I discovered an apartment complex that I used to live that had short-term rentals. This place is great. It's a gated, upscale apartment community two exits from downtown Sacramento. Our unit (#106) was a ground level two bedroom, two bath, and offered our family access to the beautiful pool, feeding the ducks in the "fake lakes" and access to their gym. (We never made it intot the gym, but we LOVED the pool and hot tubs!) It's a true apartment with Granite countertops throughout, a full, stacked washer and dryer, living room with fireplace, two flat screen tvs (one in the LR, one in the master br, both w/ cable) and great closet space. There's a private patio as well. The unit is carpeted in an industrial carpet. The bathrooms in basic linoleum. CH&A and free WiFiworked great. The kitchen was a standard apartment kitchen with a full-size fridge, full-size oven, built-in microwave, coffee maker, rice maker, plus all requisite utensils, plates, cups, and mugs. During the week we had a daily maid that vacuumed, did dishes and made beds. IMPRESSIVE! The development is very quiet. You're assigned a gate pass and parking spot. I got a $99/night rate. I thought it was too good to be true and checked it out in person. We LOVED it and will recommend it to family and friends visiting Sacramento. Our only recommendations to owners are to: ) add a few extra sets of dishes and utensils. For a family of four we really ran through items. 2) We never figured out how to use the gate. Fortunately we squeaked in behind other residents. 3) The sheets are rather threadbare. They could stand to upgrade to make the experience entirely perfect. 4) Patio furniture would make this over the top! This would be a great short-term spot for folks relocating too!

Gated property which was good. The one bedroom units, from the outside look clean and well kept…read more We stayed in a "2 bedroom cottage ". Our unit looked to be the most run down from outside and was not very well maintained inside. Paint patches on several walls, holes in the interior door, the front door knob was very loose and the door itself was in need of repair. And unfortunately stained sheets UGH- not a good feeling at all. Definitely not worth the nightly rate on the 2 bedroom- again most of the other units from the outside looked well maintained but I didn't see the inside. We had no heat our first night but at least when I called the office they did bring room heaters as a temporary solution and got the heater fixed that same day. Vicky was very pleasant to deal with. I would personally not recommend this property.

We worked with Briana + Nick of Casa Bella Verde when we photographed a wedding there in September…read more These two wonderful people could not be more hospitable and accommodating, and are a real delight to spend time with. The gorgeous design and attention to detail with the structures design and both interior and exterior design, are breathtaking. The infinity pool with stunning views is like we have never seen before, and the sunset over the valley as seen from the front of the home, is magnificent. We highly recommend staying with them or hosting your event at their beautiful home.

To simply describe our stay at Casa Bella Verde, IT WAS MAGICAL. We live in San Francisco so having…read morethe luxury of just gazing out into the middle of nowhere with complete silence doesn't exist. Our son was turning one month and that is exactly what we were looking for, a couple of days away from the busy city life. We didn't want noises of cars driving by, people roaming the streets and having conversations outside of your bedroom window. I came across this place while surfing airbnb and we couldn't have been any happier that we found it. Briana was a great host! She gave me a call within a few hours of me booking the place online. She advised me that it would be smart to have all of my grocery shopping done prior to arriving at Casa Bella Verde as there are no stores in the immediate area and she also advised me of the unpaved road that is leading up to the house when you turn off the main road. Having the knowledge of these things was very helpful. The "guest house" that you stay in has everything that you might need to have a weekend (or even longer) of relaxation. The guest house is very modern with the amenities one might need and not need. We were particularly fans of the jacuzzi hot tub which is big enough to fit 4 adults. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the deck which has some amazing views. As a host, we couldn't have asked for a better one. When we got there she did a walk through with us to explain to us on how all of the gadgets work (everything is very high tech.) The fridge was stocked with eggs, some english muffins, and orange juice. As we were making dinner we realized we forgot olive oil and balsamic, I had asked Briana is she by chance had any and without a doubt she did. Within a couple of minutes of me asking I was able to walk over to the main house and there was what we had asked for on the kitchen counter. Thank you for everything Briana and I look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

We stayed for one night on the 4th of July while in town to watch the A's play. When we returned to…read morethe hotel around 10:00 p.m., everything seemed fine at first. However, there were a few unexpected issues that were disappointing, especially after reading so many positive reviews. A couple of the face towels in the bathroom had a noticeable mildew smell, which was unpleasant. In addition, the air conditioner was extremely loud throughout the night. It repeatedly turned on around 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., and 4:00 a.m., making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. I hope management will address these issues, as they would make a big difference in the overall guest experience. Other than that, our stay was fine, and I appreciate your attention to this feedback.

Steve made my evening at the AC Hotel Sacramento unforgettable…read more I had the pleasure of being served by Steve at the bar during our recent stay, and he was truly outstanding. Professional, sharp in a great suit, and incredibly attentive and he made everyone at the bar feel genuinely cared for. Steve went above and beyond the entire night, delivering that rare level of hospitality that turns a good stay into a fantastic one. He was instrumental in making the evening special, helping every guest with warmth and efficiency. The highlight? When a pilot mentioned wanting a good coffee, Steve personally made him a perfect espresso which to me was a small but perfect example of his "whatever it takes" mindset. If you're at the AC Hotel Sacramento, head to the bar and ask for Steve. He's the real deal and sets the standard for excellent service. Thank you, Steve!

The amazing: the price, Charlie the check-in dog (pictured)…read more The good: room and bathroom are clean (a body wash bar is supplied but you will need your own shampoo and soap), there's a TV and a fridge, the gated parking area, the room is spacious. The average: some of the lights were burnt out, the mattress is quite worn out and soft, the towels are thin. We stayed here to watch baseball series at the stadium, which is about a mile away. You really won't find a safer cleaner place to stay for such an affordable price anywhere else. The decor and the TV are old but it's fine, if you need somewhere to sleep at night this is the one! We would come back again.

The staff was super kind and helpful at check in. They have parking available (first come first serve) which is such a lifesaver in this part of town! The inside of the hostel is very clean and spacious. They have different rooms available including a kitchen and game room. Everyone we ran into was very kind. Our room was on the smaller side but perfect for two people! The bathrooms are shared but all guests were respectful of the shared spaces and they were very tidy. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and look forward to coming back!

I usually don't stay at hostels. However, the former mansion looked interesting, so I thought I…read morewould try it out. I booked a single twin for one night. It was a small room but worked for me. It was clean and the bed was comfy. I was fortunate in that the temperature that night was 57 degrees and 88 degrees during the day. I was told that in previous days, the temperature during the day reached 107! The room did have a little fan. The shared bathroom and showers were clean. I met a few foreign visitors in the kitchen. One young female was working on her computer in one of the common rooms. Other than seeing 2-3 other guests, I pretty much had the whole place to myself. It was really neat wandering around to look at all the stuff in the place. At 10 pm., everything gets quiet. Even the music from the nearby festival went quiet. I walked about 8 minutes to a Thai restaurant, called Hiso, which had great food. There are homeless people in the vicinity. I felt safe as the walk took me past some really expensive homes. Lots of people were out walking their dogs. Just be aware of your surroundings. I decided to walk across the street from a spot where some homeless person had set up a tent. I also watched out for people on scooters and bicycles. Parking is available within a gated enclosure by the alley and next to the hostel. That greatly gave me some peace of mind. The young man at the front desk was helpful and professional. Two items of note: 1) you need to remove the bedsheets and pillow cases and deposit them into the baskets by the front desk. Not a big deal to do. 2) you do need to climb stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Not a hassle unless you are older and/or have mobility issues. Or if you have heavy luggage to haul up. Overall, it was a good experience. I would definitely come stay here again. I'm glad I tried this hostel out. Oh, when I read up on the building, I found out that it was a funeral home at one time. I didn't get any creepy vibes. I zonked out and had a good night's rest.
