I thought the Wi-Fi was awful. I kept getting bumped off of it and had to log on again more times than I wanted! Also, there were SO many PEOPLE at the hotel! I've never been to such a crowded hotel. But it was inexpensive, so I guess that was a draw for many people. Sacramento, in general, has so much traffic and people speed on the highways.

A man attempted to break into my room..I let the security know . There was no follow up. Management were disrespectful to my mother. Our key cards did not work..each day we'd have to go down to the office and have them reset. On one of the nights of our stay, the toilet over flowed. Management asked us if we could hold off using the ladies room until the following day . When we replied,"no." We were moved to a different room in the middle of the night...one with no blankets and with holes in the curtains. We froze that night and got little to no sleep. Also, our light fixtures were not working properly. , as well as our phone did not work. The door does not close. The bath tub is dirty & the water pressure is poor. On the upside, the cleaning woman are very sweet,helpful and friendly.

Terrible decision to reserve a room here. The room assigned turned out to be a mattress storage room. My wife was approached by drunken hooker that fell down in front of her. Seedy characters lurked around the parking lot. We did not stay and our request for a refund was denied.
