Courtyard by Marriott Sacramento Cal Expo

"Pool area, bar"

Sac River Retreat, Garage, Yard, Wi-Fi, 5 Star

8/10 Good

"There was some sort of mix up when we first arrived. The place was just a the last tenants left it... used bedding, used towels, dirty sinks, etc...I sent a message through VRBO messages and Allison was there in a flash. She was able to quickly get things back in order and had the place ready by the time we got back. The place is adorable, comfortable, and easy to access. The garage is small. We probably could have squeezed our Subaru Outback inside... but we didn't try. It would be better suited for smaller cars."
