What guests think

At Larkspur Landing Extended Stay Suites Sacramento, travelers praise the convenient Sac State location, spacious suites with kitchenettes, and friendly staff, but common drawbacks include dated rooms, inconsistent cleanliness and odors, limited grab and go breakfast, and occasional parking fees.

Guests also report thin walls, early morning dumpster noise, and maintenance issues like broken dispensers, malfunctioning TVs, and noisy appliances. The surrounding area is walkable to shops and diners, though several note homeless activity and rely on on-site security. Expect practical, budget-minded suites with kitchens over polish and perks.

Recently my work assigned me to the Sacramento territory for a quarterly travel assignment for the foreseeable future. I booked this hotel (Larkspur) as it is close to my work office. I pre-booked the hotel for the 3 weeks I was going to be in Sacramento. However, something came up work related during my stay, and I had to travel back to Denver. On my reservation through Expedia, it said that the purchase was at the discretion of the hotel in terms of a refund. A week though the stay, I called the front desk and left a message for the manager in regards to the refund. However the manager never called me back. I contacted expedia, and they said they would call the hotel and take care of everything. However, after 4 days, they told me the hotel declined the refund. Overall, this hotel is dated and would not recommend staying here. The breakfast option in the morning is terrible (garbage selection with some watered down coffee), the gym is small, dirty and disgusting, my 4th floor often smelled of weed and smoke, and the individual rooms are small and dusty. Overall would rate this hotel a 0/10

not the best experience. The room was missing basic things like a blow dryer or a phone that worked and things were dirty. The place felt dirty, old and rundown, but what pushed me over was a $10 charge a day for parking in an open parking lot without SECURITY. No other hotels like this charge for parking so I would not stay here again just for the principle of it.

This is a two star property at best. The bathroom sink was stained and scratched. The vanity looked like it had been badly water damaged. The decor and carpet were dated. Breakfast consisted of oatmeal, coffee/tea and prepackaged snacks in a refrigerator: Eggo, bagel, juice, milk and fruit. There was a police surveillance trailer in the parking lot and a nighttime security guard. The area was generally quiet except for the 5 am trash truck emptying the dumpster. I would not stay here again.

I am here every month for UCDavis treatment and they always put me on the top floor and are very caring and helpful....I have not met one staff member who was not nice and helpful....that is rare....There is a Raley's across the street walking distance and a Mel's Diner for breakfast. They do not have a swimming pool but that's okay.

We have stayed here 3 times and like the location. The staff is always professional and helpful. The hotel does share a parking area with 2 restaurants and is trying to keep their overflow from bumping guests into less convenient spots. On site security for parking area and facility is comforting. We enjoy having the modest kitchen and desk/table work space. Local future improvements (golf course, restaurants etc.) will be making this hotel a 4 Star once again...with some interior room updates. Lobby coffee is always hot. Continental breakfast is modest but, for the price, the local diner across the way is worth it.

This hotel so well tucked away, yet so convenient and close. When staying, it doesn’t feel like you are close to two restaurants. Surprisingly quiet and nice. There is a security guard walking around premises out side to keep an eye out on cars. I like this hotel and will be coming back

I liked that there was a Starbucks and a CVS and various dining options either adjacent to the property or just across the street. I also liked that there was an actual refrigerator and stove as well as microwave and coffee maker, although I did not use those features. I did use the fitness room, which was very small but clean. But overall, the property has seen better days and is in need of an update. My room was either too hot or too cold, there weren’t USB ports, and the outlets were sort of inconveniently located. It was OK, but looked a little tired. The bed was comfortable enough, but I didn’t love the bedding. My biggest complaint overall was that they do not have water available except water bottles to buy for three dollars each, which I found ridiculous. Why don’t they just have filtered water in the lobby? A place that serves continental breakfast should be able to provide water for its guests.

I love the location and pet policy. The rooms are spacious. Unfortunately, the rooms can be dirty. We always check under the bed since we travel with our dog. Our room this time had so much dirt and garbage under the bed. Also, once their “deodorizer” wore off, the bathroom had a strong urine smell. The property is old so perhaps the smell has permeated the drywall and grout but I think it was from spray on the shower curtain.

I was very disappointed with the room, the carpet was horribly disgusting, visible dark stains!! There was no iron, only one towel, (2 of us) requested towels, being I was across from their housekeeping rooom, which towels & sheets were being washed. I saw plenty of clean towels, but was told they didn’t have any available!!! finally after 1/2 hr was I offered the towels from that same room cause I was passing their door, after the fact I requested another room, which they accommodated us. The floor in room was so dirty, I stepped into tub and my footprint were marked as I stepped in. I will never stay at another Larkspur landing again.

The staff was friendly and helpful, and it's nice having a refrigerator. But the room itself was musty smelling, like old cigarettes (even though it was listed as smoke free). The bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress had piling poking up through the very thin, cheap sheets. Very loud most of the night, could hear people talking through the walls and hallway and sounded like stomping but they probably weren't. I've stayed there several times over the years and I have seen a gradual decline in the past few years making this a place I probably will no longer consider in the future.

From the moment I arrived I was very impressed. The staff was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised by the room. Was not expecting a full kitchen. Though it was a great value and very spacious for myself. The AC was excellent as I am a hot sleeper usually. I didn’t have any issues during my stay and I will definitely stay there again. Great location with a few stores and food places nearby.

Hotels in Sacramento are primarily located in the downtown area, around the Convention Center, and scattered along highway corridors, leaving East Sacramento and the areas further to its east across the American River a complete hotel desert, so Larkspur Landing is pretty much the only choice if you want to be close to Cal State Sacramento. The exterior looks nice, the interior looks a little dated, but it was warm and inviting when I arrived late at night. The room was spacious and clean despite some obvious signs of age, especially in the bathroom. The main detractors for me were the horrible pillows that offered no support, and an uncomfortable mattress, which made for poor sleep quality. The breakfast was also a bit sad, with only pre-packaged items in refrigerators, just a step or two above vending machine food. For the price and, in my case, the convenience of its location, it served its purpose for a couple nights.

Everything from the outside looked great and then we checked in. The king size bed must have been on a queen size frame. If you sat at the foot of the bed, it was like a teeter-totter. There was a half finished water bottle on the floor behind the bedroom door. Lastly, nothing like being in the shower and the body wash dispenser is broken.

However, the front desk clerk was extremely busy and I did not want to wait. My bad. I have tried calling them five times cannot leave a message or get anyone on the phone.

When I first checked in was placed in a room that someone else was currently staying in, had to get my keycard check twice at the front desk because it wouldn't work for my room a couple times early morning and the next day before checking out. Also didn't like how long it took room keeping to get to my room, i understand they're busy but we asked at 10am for service and was gone all day and didn't get house keeping until 3:30pm

Staff was very welcoming and professional. Property is located on a main street close to shopping and eating. Plentiful parking available. Good choice for a short stay where you don’t need access to a swimming pool or outside patio area to relax.Nice to have an elevator to upper floors. Room is dated, very basic furnishings. Room is clean enough that I felt comfortable staying there, but I would not want to stay for an extended time. It doesn’t feel like it’s freshly clean. It was nice to have the double suite with two sleeping areas. The king size bed in room 242 is not secure. When I sat on the end of the bed, it nearly tilt it over on me. It is not securely bolted down. The floors in the elevators were quite dirty. If you need a relatively clean, conveniently located place for a very short stay, this hotel will serve you.

If you want rude employees who hold towel hostage until you carry your dirty ones to the front desk and swap them one for one. The free breakfast is a kid sized yogurt, a piece of fruit, and a 4oz cranberry juice cup shouldn’t be considered any sort of breakfast. For the cost of the room I would have expected more. The surrounding area is full of homeless and trash. I would have stayed somewhere else had I known what I was in for.

The air conditioning was quiet, which was a nice change from other places I've stayed. Breakfast was included with our stay, and it had everything you could want: packaged oatmeal with hot water provided, hard-boiled eggs, muffins, breakfast burritos, egg and ham muffins, fruit, yogurt, and milk, all available in a large refrigerator.

I got there shortly after breakfast began and they didn't have any bagles, bread, bananas or much else. All of which they said are things that they have when I called ahead of our stay. When I asked about it, they told me they didn't get their shipment in as if it were no big deal. So "breakfast is included" but you might not be able to rely on it.
