Stayed at this motel couple times several years ago staff was helpful and it was much cleaner than our current stay. For the price I will not be staying there in the future. The location is great for what was on our itinerary but again the price is too inflated for conditions and cleanliness

The room was clean and well stocked. We had the leaked shower faucet and broken tower rod. But other than that it was perfect. The staff were extremely helpful and explained everything. She also let us checkin early ( like 10 AM early ) just for joining their free discount club. I was very greatful after driving more than 3 hours. We parked our car in the garage ( for extra $35 a day ) but we also found a free EV chargers so it was well worth it. We also bought the breakfast package and it was well worth it. Servers were nice and it was stocked with good fruits and stuff. Thank you and we'll stay again in the future.

Liked: Cleanliness
Excellent location for visiting both old town Sacramento and Golden 1 Centre. I found the hotel decor dated with lots of addon charges for parking($35) and breakfast ($39), which I thought excessive given the cost of the room($255.00). I had asked for a walkin shower after I booked as I’m old and have hip problems. They took note of the request but did not accommodate me. Standard rooms have tub showers but at least they had a grab bar. Breakfast bar had a nice selection but it was not warm enough for the ‘hot’ items.
