I love this place, stay here often for the last 25 years. Last stay no shower curtain. Did not notice till 5 AM. The part I dislike most is, they take a $200 damage deposit on a $129 room. It's been a week and still no refund to the card. I'm 70 years old staying alone, do I look like I will damage a hotel room? I have a funny feeling they will charge me $200 for a $9 shower curtain they think I might have taken. And they were painting the building. I like fresh air and windows were masked off and taped shut even after painting.

Great little hotel

Had a pleasant experience at this hotel. Not super fancy but clean, comfortable, and all the staff was friendly and helpful. Comfortable beds and it was great to have a mini-fridge AND microwave in the room, especially with a family. Facilities wise there was a nice little indoor pool and hot tub which we took advantage of (there was a fitness center as well but we didn't use that). It was easy to get to being just off 50, but be advised there is a decent amount of street noise during the week if you are sensitive to that. I thought the bathrooms were fine but others in our party thought the water wasn't hot enough in the shower. Breakfast options were great, they had plentiful options rather than the usual yogurt\cereal including make your own pancakes which the kids loved! You can tell the owners take care to maintain the property. Overall a very pleasant stay and will return if we are back in Sacramento!

They have the friendliest staff I've ever seen. The girl that checked me in and the guy who checked me out were so warm and sweet. This was one of the most comfortable beds, quiet rest, clean and right off the freeway with a Starbucks across the street, stores and gas stations down the street. Kiki's chicken drive thru hit the spot for dinner.
