6.4/10

After a long ride, the hotel seemed a bit rundown, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. The location was convenient for travelers, yet safety was a concern due to the surroundings. The dining experience was basic but satisfying. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

Rooms

6.0

The room, unfortunately, had a slight cigarette smell and was placed near the freeway, but it was old and comfortable after a tiring journey.

Service

7.0

I pointed out an issue with my booking, which couldn't be changed due to the third-party involvement, but the staff around the premises were happy and made my stay comfortable.

Location

5.0

Despite being close to UC Davis and Old Sacramento, the hotel's position was less than ideal, surrounded by trucker rooms and appearing somewhat rundown which raised safety concerns.

Dining

7.0

The 'grab your bag and go' breakfast style was simple, managed by a friendly woman. The spread included bacon, eggs, cereals, and assorted baked goods, quite basic but appreciated.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's facilities were pretty basic but functional, no major concerns.

6.2/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great, close to Old Town Sacramento, but the noise from construction and homeless people was bothersome. The rooms were unique with artistic wall paintings but faced noise from a lorry parked outside. The dining was average, offering a standard breakfast. However, the facilities were convenient and met our needs.

Rooms

7.0

I stayed in a room facing the biketrail and river, which was nice, but there was constant noise from a lorry parked directly behind our room. The wall paintings in the room were interesting but not very clear.

Service

6.0

The service was satisfactory; however, there was an issue with the late checkout request not being fulfilled. The staff did try to help, but the communication seemed to be a bit lacking.

The dining experience was basic, with a typical selection of breakfast items. It would have been better to have more variety, but it served its purpose.

8.0/10

The hotel had a convenient location near Old Sacramento and the California State Railroad Museum, making it ideal for my trip. While the room had a bit of a moldy smell at first but got better, it served its purpose for a one-night stay, and the service was lovely and chatty. The dining experience was good, particularly with the homemade pastry, and the facilities were more than adequate.
