This hotel checked all the boxes for me plus the mexican restaurant next door is good too. Breakfast is good and I loved the pancake machine. Its an easy 1 mile or so drive into Sac but not walking distance for me. We were in town for the cone head concert and close to the venue.

It was very quiet. The staff was great. The maintenance person was working the whole time to keep the parking lot and the pools clean from falling tree fuzz. Location was perfect. Can’t wait to go back. Next time I’ll take the Amtrak train from Fresno.

Nice conveniently located stay. Right off the freeway. Close walk to the waterfront and access to the river path nextdoor. Hot tub could’ve been hotter and cleaner. Pool was cold but refreshing. Love having a complimentary Breakfast. The options were great, the attendant was present and friendly. Beds were very comfortable, the hide-a-bed is not. Go to Neda’s, the Mexican restaurant, in the parking lot. It is amazing!!

We did not stay at the hotel. We checked in and went to the room but the condition and the smell of the room was awful so we immediately packed our bags and notified the front desk we would not be staying. I understand this is meant to be an affordable motel but this was terrible.
