It&#8217;s modern, bright and comfortable. \u00a0In contrast, the hotel rooms are darker, the colors are rich, not bright. The decor is traditional, not modern. \u00a0It would be awesome if the furniture in the rooms was like the lounge furniture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5386\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/sheraton-elk-grove-lounge.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5386\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5386\" alt=\"sheraton-elk-grove-lounge\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/sheraton-elk-grove-lounge.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/sheraton-elk-grove-lounge.jpg 480w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/sheraton-elk-grove-lounge-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/sheraton-elk-grove-lounge-255x341.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lounge at the Sheraton Elk Grove<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5385\" style=\"width: 466px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Living-Room.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5385\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5385\" alt=\"Sheraton-Elk-Living Room\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Living-Room-456x341.jpg\" width=\"456\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Living-Room-456x341.jpg 456w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Living-Room-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Living-Room.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guest Room Living Room at The Sheraton Elk Grove<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What I Liked: The lounge &#8211; as I said, it&#8217;s bright and modern. They serve drinks and appetizers from 5-7 p.m. and breakfast from 7 &#8211; 10 a.m. The lounge is open all day and you can get coffee, soft drinks and tea all day. \u00a0 Free parking &#8211; I was originally planning on staying at the Aloft until a friend tipped me off to the $18 a day parking fee at the Aloft. \u00a0The Sheraton Suites Elk Grove offers free parking. \u00a0Location &#8211; the hotel is easy to get to. Located right off the highway (it&#8217;s a toll road, so be prepared to pay), you can get to the hotel from the Airport quickly and there are major shopping areas within 15 minutes of the hotel. \u00a0Water pressure &#8211; sounds like a funny thing to like, but with long hair that gets tangled easily, having nice water pressure is a bonus!<\/p>\n<p>What I Didn&#8217;t Like: Even though the hotel has been renovated, it still looks dated. \u00a0The rooms smell a little strange (my friends here also said their room had a bad smell) maybe a little mildew?<\/p>\n<p>The hotel is very responsive, which is a plus. \u00a0I had a flood in my bathroom and maintenance was in the room within 5 minutes. The lounge staff is friendly and helpful. \u00a0The hotel offers the &#8220;Make The Green Choice Program&#8221;, which I elected to take advantage of. \u00a0After the flood, housekeeping came and cleaned up the mess. \u00a0It&#8217;s always great to see a hotel respond quickly and well to a problem.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5384\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5384\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5384\" alt=\"Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/files\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room.jpg 550w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room-300x224.jpg 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/verygoodpoints\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/\/sites\/2\/2013\/10\/Sheraton-Elk-Grove-Room-455x341.jpg 455w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bedroom at the Sheraton Suites Elk Grove<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Would I stay here again? \u00a0Probably. \u00a0If I had a rental car, I would absolutely stay here if I was trying to stick with Starwood properties.
