Hotel Med Park, an Ascend Hotel Collection Member

I have stayed at Hotel Med Park four times in the last three months and I am a huge fan. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The beds are amazing. The hotel is very nice with a «boutique» feel to it. They serve breakfast every day which is a mixture of make your own waffles, cereals and eggs with bacon or sausage or fresh fruit and yogurt. I had a microwave and refrigerator in my room so was able to bring food in. I will stay here every time I am in town. The parking garage is a little tricky but nothing that can’t be handled, and if you can’t fit your car in just park across the street in the covered parking garage and they validate. Great place to stay.

If you have a family member who is staying at the hospital across the street, the best feature of this place is its convenience. By overhearing conversations at breakfast, I now know you get a much lower price rate if this is why you are staying there. If you are merely looking for a nice place to stay while in Sacramento for any other reason, this place is okay, but you might want to look elsewhere if you’re looking for a bargain. We paid about ¹⁄₃ more than the longer-​term «hospital» guests.
When we arrived we were told we had been upgraded to a suite (room 404). I thought that was nice until I remembered this is something hotels do when they are short on business to make you want to come back. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just good business.
By all appearances our suite was built for a person in a wheelchair. Lots of empty room in the bathroom. If I was in a wheelchair, I would appreciate that, but since I’m not, the sink-​top surface was entirely too small. I resorted to moving one of the lamp tables into the bathroom just so there was a place for my wife’s make-​up kit, my shaving kit and our toothbrushes.
The shower is the nice big walk-​in type, but the curtain stopped several inches above the floor, so water splashed out into the room right in front of the sink. Several towels got used up this way. There was no toilet lid, just a seat. I was concerned about the towels on the rack right above it falling into the open toilet.
The suite had two nice big flatscreen TVs. But since the sitting room TV and the bedroom TV are just a few feet apart in an open space, two people can’t use them to watch different shows unless they both have headphones to plug in.
The refrigerator, while cold on the inside, was hot on the outside. I realized it was because it was kept inside of a wooden cabinet with the doors closed. The refrigerator was overheating because it wasn’t being allowed to vent the heat of its motor. I told the front desk that if their refrigerators start to burn out, that would be the reason. A simple fix would be to take the doors off the cabinets.
Everyone has already complained about the cramped, hard-​to-​maneuver underground parking area. Nothing to be done about that, I guess.
As in 90% of the hotel rooms I’ve stayed in, the light bulbs are too low wattage for comfortable reading by anyone over a certain age. I know hotels need to save money, but how about switching to LED or compact fluorescent?
The bed was super comfortable. Plenty of pillows were provided, so if you don’t like one you can try another. The air-​conditioner/​heater worked very well and was not noisy. The only noise is from a 24-​hour room fan that there’s no way to turn off. They helpfully include a pair of earplugs with your coffee condiments. The in-​room coffee machine is a super-​convenient Keurig and it makes good coffee.
Breakfast had some positives and some negatives. Positives: A lot of choice. Hard-​boiled eggs, fresh fruit, oatmeal, delicious waffles. The lady who managed the breakfast room was cheerful and helpful. Negatives: Ready-​made omelets filled with an awful Velveeta-​like cheese substance, dry cereals all of the sugar-​coated variety, the usual frosted pastries and donuts.

If you’re going to be staying in Sacramento, I highly recommend staying at the Hotel Med Park. We got a very reasonable rate by booking directly on their website. The reviews I read were great so we were looking forward to our stay. It was about a six minute drive to downtown Sacramento.
The hotel staff was super friendly with any of our asks, the room was perfect and the breakfast was great. We have two young kids so we got the king suite. It was perfect as we got some privacy as the kids were in the other room. The parking which people said was an issue didn’t affect us at all as we are used to tight parking spots where we live.
Great all around hotel!

+ Hotel room was great (Room 406)
+ customer service was great
— Hospital across the street so, street noise and occasional ambulance noise is to be expected.
— breakfast was all processed foods and nothing was fresh or local
— Parking was tight and cramped, parking is in the basement and not good for SUV’s or any larger car. Perfect for a mini. I was worried about hitting another car or a pole and worried someone else would hit my car. additionally, one lane to go up or down and very steep.
=I would stay here again, due to room being great but i wouldn’t stay for the food.

Really nice staff, very clean and big room. Couldn’t ask for more at this price point. The breakfast had everything you could want to choose from. If I could I’d take away a half star because the parking is a nightmare for SUVs but we made it thru. I really appreciated the staff, Laura, at breakfast. She was so friendly and professional. I’d stay here again.

My friends and I were looking for a cheap but respectable place to stay in Sacramento for the night, and we could not be more happy with the Hotel Med! We arrived at this small, cute hotel right across from UC Davis Medical Center, and were impressed with the way it was decorated and organized.
The room was very spacious and modern, with two queen beds, a sofa bed, two flat screen tvs, and two refrigerators!
Breakfast was decent, but not the best, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating to our needs!
Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to spend the weekend in Sac with friends!

Great price! Continental breakfast was included and was better than anticipated.

This hotel is exactly what I was looking for. Centrally located to the areas in Sac I needed to be this weekend, clean, air conditioner worked great, staff was friendly and helpful and, a major plus, the king size bed was comfy! I would definitely stay here again!
The parking was fine, not as tight as I expected. However high vehicles may not fit or have trouble. There was plenty of parking even when we got in late Saturday night!

I stayed for a week for work. The hotel was nice, clean, quiet. People are so polite.
I will stay here again.

Thank you for resolving my issue Amanda. This place was very clean and convient to UC Davis medical center.

On this visit in this very comfortable we’ll run hotel I met the general manager. She is wonderful. While in my room housekeeping came and I was impressed by Keisha and her thoughtfulness as she tidied up my room. She was very methodical as she made sure everything was just so.
It’s nice to see as it gives you a sense of cleanliness in your room. Thanks Keisha !
I like all aspects of this spot and will return when possible.

Right across the street from UCD Medical Center.
They upgraded us to a suite at no charge. Room was huge, #406.
Breakfast selection was ok.
Staff was great.
Only negative is their parking lot. VERY small entrance/​exit. Stalls are also small. Some require passenger to exit before parking.

We stay at the med park all the time primarily for the location. The staff is definitely super nice and the facility looks nice, but the rooms are very hit or miss. Sometimes the rooms are delightfully clean and other times they can be quite stuffy or stinky and are in desperate need of a deep cleaning. The wallpaper in between the mirror in the sink has toothpaste splatter marks that is pretty consistently in every room, some of the bathrooms have icky tubs, and our last stay the lamp had a giant red mystery stain on it. I understand that other people have stayed there and a bit of wear and tear is to be expected, but I don’t need to see their spit splatter and exactly how one gets a stain on a lamp is beyond me. That being said, we’ll stay there again simply because of the location and the possible chance we get one of the nicer room.

Having a do-​over before the end of the year. Should be amazing service. Review to come soon!

This was one of the nicest choice hotels I’ve ever been in. Almost perfect I really struggled when giving it only 4 stars. I did that because there are a couple of other hotels that are newer and just very slightly nicer décor. We stayed in the suit w/​2 queen beds. The bathroom had a large jetted bathtub that my 6“1′ 298lb man boy fit in it has a shower as well. Very spacious and roomy.

Nice hotel. Nice room and nice staff. Beds are fairly comfy. The only negative is the road noise if your by the street and our neighbors were smoking weed and the whole hall smelt terrible. Breakfast was nice. They had almond milk which was cool. Parking it’s not the best either.

Very comfortable and clean hotel. One problem was that several attempts to contact hotel by phone not possible. Received a recorded message that call could not be completed due to technical problems. What? They have to work on their phone system.
Another problem is the parking which has been mentioned by other reviewers. Very tight turns required to enter and exit as well as park once you reach the parking area.
Other than that the breakfast was exceptional and well maintained by the ever present lady who cleans and stocks the area.

Parking is tough but I managed it fine. People in California are probably just more used to crazy driving. Really enjoyed my stay and will come back here when visiting UCDMC regardless of the parking. Not a great reason to stay away from a nice hotel.

2÷4−2÷5: Room 211
Kayla gave me a room that people say are the best to stay in, even though I was the last check-​in for the day. Very thoughtful!
Karen spent her time at night to give me a layout of the city. She went out of her way to prepare me hot water and even granted my request for a piece of fruit as a late-​night snack.
Jay went out of his way to print out my receipt in advance, even though it was a 3^rd party reservation which he said I could e-​mail to him, to save me time in a hurry-​up morning I was having.
Introduction letter says, «you asked, we responded to your requests.» I am all about the guest service. Hotel Med Park. A++

This was a nice hotel to stay in. Customer service was great when arriving at 11pm on a Friday night. Our check-​in lady was so chipper it helped us forget about our 2 hour commute. We even got late check-​out for free just by signing up to be a member of their hotel (sweet!). And the best part about the stay was complimentary breakfast.
I thought they had a decent spread of breakfast goodies: there were pastries, cereal, coffee, juices, yogurt with berries, boiled eggs for protein, and fresh made waffles. Unfortunately, you have to make the waffles yourself but they’re goooood!
Con: this hotel sits along a fairly busy street so we heard a lot of traffic noise.
