Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Sacramento (Downtown) Holiday Inn Express

[pterrell]

I'm planning a family gathering in Sacramento Sept 30 - Oct 1. Two families are going to arrive by Amtrak and the local family is disabled, so knowing that the hotel location is near the station and light rail is key.

I'm seeing at 3* for $48 that I'm suspecting is Governors Inn. The amenities match the Hotwire list, with the addition of shuttle service, which is listed on the hotels website. TripAdvisor matches with a rating of 4.

3* Governors Inn

Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet

OR

Amenities: Complimentary Breakfast, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet

Anyone want to disagree? :)

Governor's Inn is my best guess too.

The listing says 500+ Hotwire reviews, and with that many reviews this is very likely a new icon set for a hotel already in the Hotel List; not someplace new and unreported. The other reported hotels with a Shuttle Icon--Hawthorn Suites and La Quinta--were rated 2.5* at last reports and neither of those has a 4/5 TripAdvisor rating.

I'll vote for Governor's Inn then.

If you purchase please use this HOTWIRE link and let us know what you get.

Colfax, a belated thanks. Since I followed up on your post, that hotel has not been offered. The ways of Hotwire...

I'll wait a few more days to see if it shows up again. And of course I'll use the Betterbidding PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links when it do. ;-)

Thank you for keeping us updated and please let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

The icons have changed and the price is now $56, up from $48. I still think it's likely the Governor's Inn though. Still 500+ reviews, although the TA stats are now deleted.

Shuttle, Comp Breakfast, Fitness, Pool, Internet

If it's not the Governor's Inn it's something else with a shuttle, maybe the Hawthorn Suites upgraded to 3*. Gov Inn and Hawthorn are across the street from each other.

Good luck!

As others have reported, $39 taken on first bid.

Was hoping for the Hawthorn, but I'm sure we'll be fine at the HIE.

Used the Betterbidding PRICELINE links.

I guess I'm the only family member "thrifty" enough to use Priceline and Hotwire. My sister decided that she'd rather rent a car, pay for downtown parking, and then spend the night in the Marriott(?) over by the med center...

And I didn't see anything on Hotwire that looked like Hawthorn or Governor's Inn.

So I used Priceline and got the 2.5* HIE...

Thanks for the advice though!

Congratulations on your success!

While not the hotel you were hoping for, the rate certainly looks good and breakfast is still included... hope you can make it work well for your plans.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
