After doing LOTS of research on a hotel in the Sacramento area that was both affordable and not described or reviewed horribly, this one was the best bet. We arrived at 3am after lots of traffic delays and didn't know that we had to call in if we were going to be in after midnight. Our reservations had been cancelled by the website we booked through, but Barry - the hotel manager on site - was SUCH a help! He helped me to phone the website and work everything out. In the end, he ended up honoring the rate we had booked and didn't complain at all - he handled the whole situation very professionally, especially at 3 in the morning!

The rooms itself were very clean - it seems they had just remodeled, so nothing looked dirty or worn out. In the queen suite we stayed in was roomy and well-kept. The only things that were bad about it was that this hotel is pretty close to the freeway and a major road, so you'll hear traffic and also the non-smoking room we got still had a fairly strong odor of cigarettes.

Overall, for the rate and service we got, the hotel was a pleasure to stay at - we were there for 3 nights and were very satisfied and would definitley recommend it to anyone passing through and needing a place to stay at in Sacramento.

I stayed at this place in May this year. Just of the highway, so easy to find but quite noisy. Neutral staff. Outside access to rooms. Elevator and small hot tub available, and in good order. Small but well kept garden around the hotel parking. Decent rooms. Mine was nice and clean, had no problems, and was quite large and comfortanle for the rate we paid. The complementary breakfast however is a joke (a cup of sweet orange juice and a sweet muffin was all what was available when I went there). Just down the road a large diner is available with rapid service, ideal for breakfast.

This is the only negative review from my recent California vacation I felt I needed to write in order to warn others. First of all, this Super 8 is not located in a very pleasant part of Sacramento (mostly industrial and questionable neighborhood, it seemed). Second, it is very, very close to Interstate 5, so there is a huge and constant amount of highway noise. Third, the street it is located on turned out to be some kind of local truck "shortcut" to the expressway, so that ALL NIGHT there was a continual stream of big rigs passing by, all of which had to brake and make a turn immediately outside the motel rooms...so much for a sound sleep! I also had problems the second night with upstairs "neighbors" who clearly were not there to get a good night's rest, so...if you must stay here, you'd be wise to ask for a second floor room. In the morning before leaving, I found a used condom in the parking lot next to my car...enough said! There have to be better places to stay in Sacramento within this price range.

We were looking for a cheap place to stay for two nights in Sacramento and I came across this motel on the site and except for the comment about the traffic, it looked like it would fit our needs (including location, fridge and microwave).

Got there and the front desk staff were very friendly. Walked towards our room and thought, oh my ...it really is noisy here. BUT, got into the room and closed the door and it wasn't bad. I will say, it does appear that trucks (I mean big rigs) drive on the street next to the motel, so it can be noisy from time to time with that. The room was nicely appointed and had what we wanted. It was clean and very nice. They have a small continental breakfast that my husband ate (just pastry, juice machine, coffee, and cereal).

One tip, we got the room for cheaper by calling directly.

Overall, it was nice and for the price we couldn't beat it.
