This hotel was a fine place to stay and it included an awesome breakfast every day. I asked the counter staff if it was safe to walk around in the area and the answer was, in short, not really. I didn't feel that safe in sacramento but that isn't this hotel's fault, its in one of the safer areas, just none of them are that nice!! I never felt unsafe in my room though and it was nice and close to the shops and some restaurants etc

We had stayed at this hotel back in June (see 6/25/08 review) and thought it was a decent hotel at a good price. This time though the room they gave us was anything but. The room was very dated and the carpet stained. We had to go to the front desk because the room didn't have an alarm clock, blow dryer, or coffee pot. When we finally got these items, the coffee pot leaked water all over. The pool wasn't heated but the hot tub was working. The continental breakfast was adequate. The outside of the hotel had been painted and looked much better than in June. They appeared to be renovating several rooms. The price was good but I don't think we'd stay there again. Too bad!!!

I had a few reservations (pun not intended) after reading some of the bad reviews for this property, but it's my experience to take these reviews with a grain of salt. For the most part, I believe dissatisfied folks are more prone to leaving negative feedback, while folks who had no problems will not bother to leave any feedback at all. I like seeing negative feedback, particularly whether the management was able/unable to deal with particular issues competently and professionally.

That said, I liked my stay here. I read that this is an older property and that things are "run down." That may have been the case a few months ago, but from the outside, the property looks pretty good. There are rooms that face inner courtyards that belie the "motel" feel, as well as rooms that face the parking lot that confirm the "motel" feel. The inner couryards were pleasing and quiet and had a few gazebos to hang out in if you wanted.

I stayed in a poolside non-smoking room in which there was absolutely no smoke odor or fragrance-covering-up-smoke (as opposed to those "non-smoking" rooms in Las Vegas). The room was well appointed and a decent size, with a king bed, microwave oven, mini-fridge, a/c heater fan, blow dryer, iron, coffee maker, TV, etc. Nothing "run down" inside. The bed was comfortable.

Some very minor issues: the bath towels were a bit small and not as plush and the hot water never really got hot.

A free continental breakfast was served in a breakfast room just off the pool and had a decent spread.

I was able to get a great rate off the hotel's website. Check all possible rates, because it turned out their best available rate beat the AAA, senior and government/military rates.

Great value, great price. Waffles were great. Room was neat. Clean, hot water free internet. To become incredible value need shuttle to the State Fair.
