My wife was commuting to work and had a tire almost blow out. She made it to the parking lot of the Canterbury Inn in Sacramento, Ca.
While using there outside pay phone to call me my daughter informed my wife that she had to go potty really bad.
My wife took her inside the front office and asked the man (who is the manager of the hotel):"Hi, I'm sorry but i have just broken down in your parking lot and my daughter has to go potty, can I please use your bathroom." The manager replied with a one word heartless answer "NO".
My wife obviously shocked figured he misunderstood her and asked again if her 3 yr old daughter could use the bathroom.
The manager responded with "we don't have a bathroom".
Then my wife said "What would you have her do pee in the parking lot?" he responded "Yes, that would be fine". CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!
Please tell everyone about this horrible place and never patronage it.It is a privately owned hotel. And I believe that the manager is also the owner.

Dirty, nasty bug infested and those are the high points. Unless you want to take home bed bugs or worse do not spend your money here. Loud rude hotel guest, dirty rooms, left in the middle of the night, selpt at a rest stop, felt cleaner and safer.

Terrible property, we ask for a refund as soon as we saw the room it was horrible. Dirty, scary, seemed like somewhere in a horror movie. Just drive by, don't stop.

If you plan on staying at this hotel you are very brave. my husband and I just moved to the Sacramento area and need a place where i could have our pets for a week until our Apartment was ready. And during this week there were alot of durgs being sold and the police would drive though at least 5 times during the night. We had to pay 30.00 for our pets and the hotel came with pets (roaches). And when you call up to the front desk to complain about you neighbors making to much noise during the night nothing was done about it even if you have to call a number of times. Your better off calling the Police you'll get faster service. while i was there a man past away in room 150 and body fluids well all over the matress and they never got rid of it the just turned it over and made up the bed and rented it out. How sick is that. The owner was racist, rude.
So if you are planning to stay at the Canterbury Inn please DONT. There are a number of nice hotels close by. Please stay far from the Canterbury.

We were looking in the travel coupon book and found this hotel. After a long day of driving we decided to stay here. We asked to see a room which seemed OK, but when we got our keys, they were to different rooms. We were with another family. On examination of the room we were in, above the door where glass should have been, was a board of wood that had buckled from weather (I'm assuming) which allowed large gaps for "anything" buggish to gain full access of your room. There were also large vents inside where more creatures could spend the daytime and come out in the night when it was nice and dark. The tub was literally black on the inside. The curtains were coated with yellow dirt (probably from smoke) although we were "technically" in a non-smoking room. The cover bedspread was also dirty and looked like it hadn't been washed in months/years! Our friends pulled back their sheets to find large baseball sized holes as well as a footprint and long hairs! We actually looked at 3 other rooms but couldn't allow ourselves to stay there and luckily, we were given a refund (we'll check out charge card though). We were told that the maid hadn't been there for a few days! The pool and hot tub were also closed for "cleaning", although after looking at the rooms I wouldn't have wanted to see the conditions they could have been in if they were up and running. Even our children were disgusted. We actually got back in our car and headed on to the next city! Please believe me when I say this is NO exageration...find another place to stay!
