The new TownePlace Suites by Marriott Sacramento Airport Natomas opened for business and welcomed its first guests on Monday afternoon.
“We are so excited to be here and to finally be able to open because we’ve been working on this project for five years,” said Alicia Castillo Holley, one of the hotel owners. “We come from Silicon Valley and have a ton of enthusiasm for the area and see it as an up and coming area.”
