Family-focused reviews and ratings
This hotel is a great value for money, with a surprisingly good breakfast and a convenient location. While some areas could use some improvements, the staff were always kind and helpful and made up for any shortcomings.
The staff were amazing, especially Selena who went out of her way to help us. The area itself is a bit rough around the edges, but that's reflected in the price. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
Needed a place to crash on a road trip, and this fit the bill. Comfy bed, good breakfast, and plenty of parking.
The breakfast was a real highlight, especially the super friendly staff member! The location was perfect for exploring Old Sacramento. While there were a couple of minor issues in the room, I'd definitely stay again.
Good location near Old Sacramento. Breakfast was decent. The staff were friendly and helpful overall.
