There was no pool towels and the pool was not clean. We ended up cleaning the pool ourselves. Husband went and asked about pool towels and none were ever brought out to pool area, they were instead put into our room without us in there. Miscommunication issues. Breakfast was good though

Pictures show a nice place. But not only is it nothing like the pictures. It also is not very safe. I stayed with my young son and we got put off to the side in the back. Which isn’t very safe for a woman and child. Not to mention I got woken up at 2 am with pounding at the door next to mine sounding like someone was trying to break into the room. It was very scary and very uncomfortable. The only thing that I liked was the breakfast which was decent for the place.

We were on a road trip headed North & this property was at a perfect location right off I-5. We were given a room towards the back side of the property. As i walked towards an isolated back side of the property to our room, it was a dark, isolated back side of the buildings, a couple of homeless folks were hanging out right by the door of the rooms. I immediately went back to the front desk & Selena- a beautiful, personable, professional young lady immediately moved us to a nice room at the front area, & we parked our car right out front. A nice gesture that turned our stay to a more comfortable one.

The property is extremely outdated and a bit rundown. It wouldn't take much to just clean the outside, repair the brick work that is damaged and broke throughout, clean the trash around the property and do a little landscaping work. Our room floor was very dirty so we wore our sandals continually. The morning breakfast was nice and convenient. The juice was watered down so not good. Probably shouldn't offer it if cutting corners. The staff was very nice and helpful. They were quick to replace batteries in the air conditioner's control unit, brought fresh towels when we needed them and just overall very engaging with us.

Nice stay in the heart of Sacramento
When we read other people's reviews we were a bit concerned. However, the motel was great. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly. The area was exciting. There was even a science museum right next to our hotel and a yummy Mexican restaurant. I don't recommend walking, as there are a lot of homeless people near the biking trail.
