If you go to hotels a few times a year join the rewards club! Look for hotels that are labeled as a "Plus" or "Premier". Most of these have a higher standard and the Premier are close to the higher end hotels like Hilton :) We love staying at these hotels. Always call to make reservations as you can almost guarantee a better rate than online especially if staying more than one night. The free breakfast is hit & miss, but usually pretty good. All the Premier hotels we have stayed in have an actual restaurant. Don't stay in the Sacramento hotel by I-5 :( Besides that 5 stars all the way!!
