Our stay was good the room has super thin walls so you can hear everything which, is a bit of a downside. The room itself was clean but super outdated. The free breakfast was super good. Overall it’s a good place to stay if you’re just needing a place to sleep!

The hotel staff are on point. very helpful. The area isn't the best and the front desk told me not to walk from old sac to my room. Great advise. Breakfast was one of the best I have had for a free breakfast, Keep up the great work. Not sure I will be back but not because of the staff or the room.

Staff was good. Pool and hot tub down for maintenance which I didnt know and was super disappointed. As that was one of the main reasons for booking this hotel. The Mexican Restaurant just across the parking lot has really good food. Servers were nice. It did get really busy just as we sat down so service was a little slow.

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.

On checking in I wasn’t able to get in the room, the rfid lock was completely dead. I was put up in another room where there wasn’t a TV remote, shower head was spraying everywhere and something was wrong with the AC, it was very loud and let in a ton of moisture, also the bed either had starched sheets or they wrapped mattress in plastic, I woke up sweaty wet many times. One of the good things was they have laundry room. Worded part about this stay was it costed me about the same as Hilton or Marriott would have.

The hotel stay was just okay. It seemed like an old apartment complex or motel that had just been purchased by best western. You could tell they were renovating & trying to make improvements. Breakfast was good & the dining hall was great. Our room had a broken iron & they replaced it swiftly. The locks on the door were very old fashioned chains & didn’t feel safe with people also living in & hanging around the units out front. I definitely wouldn’t stay here with children but comfortable enough for two adults for a single night.
