Top Sacramento Zoo Hotel Reviews

Harbinson House

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I stayed for one night at the Alice in Wonderland themed room. The owner, Rhonda, was extremely nice and she explained the door locks, rooms, checkout process, amenities, etc very concisely and it was easy to understand. She was also very timely with communication before the stay which is always appreciated as a guest. The room itself was very fun to be in and clean. The decorations were beautiful! It felt like there was always something new to look at every time we glance around the room. Lots of corners and angles to get Instagram worthy pictures! Location was convenient too. Close to a major freeway, close to Midtown and Downtown. Very accessible to many parts of Sacramento with a car. Parking is street parking but there were plenty of spots to park on the street even when we came back at 9:30pm ish on a Saturday. Only thing I wish the room had was brighter lighting. There are plenty of lamps/lights in the room and some of them you can adjust the brightness but even when you have all the lights on, the room felt a bit dark. But I guess too bright of a room sort of goes against the theme. We were mainly in the room to just sleep so we didn’t mind it too much but if you are staying inside to get some work done or read for a long time or something, you might find it a bit dark. But aside from that, 100% recommend if you want to stay in a fun room during ur visit to Sacramento."

"Beautiful property in one of the best neighborhoods of Sacramento. Loved our stay. Nice breakfast and easy street parking."

Vagabond Inn Executive Sacramento Old Town

8/10 Good

"The property was nicely maintained. The location was excellent especially if you are travelling by train; the hotel is directly across the street from the Amtrak station. My problem was as follows: I had reserved a standard room. When I arrived the elevator was broken. I am mobility impaired and with a broken elevator I required a first floor room. The only available room had a king sized bed and cost $38 more. I had no choice so had to accept it. I sent an email to management objecting to the upcharge, I felt they should have upgraded me without additional charge. But after five days I have not heard a thing from them. My advice is as follows: I recommend the hotel, but if you encounter any problem whatsoever, don't expect management to resolve it."
