"We had a pleasant stay. The room was spacious and clean. From check-in to checkout, the staff was helpful and professional. The pool was always filled with kids, so I wasn't able to swim for exercise. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, and definitely a reason to consider staying at this hotel.2019-09-05"

"Check-in took too long, but the hotel staff was nice.2015-05-07"
"There were 5 of us in the room, but only enough supplies for 2. No linens on the spare bed, and not enough pillows provided. The bedsheets were rough and uncomfortable. No batteries in the TV remote control, and the hotel staff refused to bring us any. Don't stay here.2017-10-24"
"The 1st hotel room was stuffy and had an odor; I was moved to a 1st floor room in the farthest building from the lobby, which made me nervous. I saw several homeless people by the vacant building across from mine. On a positive note, the bed was somewhat comfortable, the shower was clean, and there was plenty of hot water.2016-10-29"
"The hotel room was nice and comfortable. The employees at the front desk and in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. The parking lot was huge, so I thought the parking fee was ridiculous. Apart from that, don't hesitate to stay here.2015-10-06"
"Nice hotel with great personnel. Breakfast wasn't free, but it was the best thing I've ever tasted.2015-08-27"

The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive, and the food was great. We even got a free breakfast before we took our test. I was charged for parking even though I didn't bring a car, but the charge was quickly removed.2016-10-09"
"The motel was located in a gated community, and I didn't have the after-hours gate code; I had to make a call and wait over an hour for someone to come let me in. 2017-05-23"
"A wonderful place. I had a quiet and peaceful stay.2016-01-06"
"The cottage was private, secure, and beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the setting and tranquility. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and spacious.

"Decent hotel and breakfast. There was a large mall nearby, but otherwise not much in the area. It was a commercial area and seemed safe.2018-09-06"
"The AC in my room was so loud that it was hard to sleep. The phone message light was blinking, but the message was a few months old. I asked the hotel clerk to have it turned off, but that never happened. One of the 2 elevators was noisy. Not enough parking. There were other options in the area.2021-06-07"

"Great stay. Nice hotel and nice room.2015-10-19"
"Close to shops and restaurants. The hotel room was nice and clean, but needed updating. I loved the eco-friendly efforts. Our room wasn't serviced the 2nd day; it took 3 calls to get a housekeeper to come and clean it. Friendly staff. My husband left an expensive item behind, and the staff found it and called us so we could pick it up. Some items ran out early at breakfast.2015-09-09"
"An OK hotel, but if you don't like train whistles, don't stay here. The main railroad line was just a few hundred yards away.2018-07-25"

"The entire hotel was clean, and the room was nice. The front desk clerks were extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool was pleasant. Book it.2021-08-14"
"The room was OK, but the TV was old and the user guide was clumsy. I heard road noise from the nearby freeway. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. No housekeeping service during my 4-night stay at this hotel. I had to ask for all my needs at the front desk. Breakfast was quite limited; not even the hotel's signature cinnamon rolls were available.2021-07-08"
"The motel room was clean and comfortable.2019-04-11"
"We arrived at 2 AM, and the hotel clerk was quite helpful. The room was clean, and the linens were beautiful. Good-sized bathroom. The only drawback was that there was some wear near the kitchen. All the employees were courteous, and the housekeepers were helpful and always greeted us. I'd stay here again, and I'm picky.2018-12-31"
"The hotel room was quiet and clean, and the beds and pillows were comfortable. I loved the smoke-free environment. Nice pool. A customer was complaining loudly in the lobby while I was trying to enjoy breakfast. It was a bit tricky getting in and out of the parking lot, as it's at a busy intersection right off the freeway. 2018-06-11"
"This hotel was inexpensive but gross. There were no thresholds on the room doors. Loud young people made noise in the hallways. Our room smelled like marijuana our entire stay, and the lobby smelled like mold. The bathroom floor was sticky. Find another place to stay.2017-06-13"
"The room was filthy. There was trash in the ice bucket and behind the credenza. There was hair and dirt in the bathroom corners, and the bathtub was dirty. We had to buy a plunger for the plugged toilet. Only one set of towels was provided, and we had to ask for 2 days before getting an additional set. Don't stay at this motel.2022-05-02"
"We arrived at 4 PM, but were given a room that hadn't been serviced. We were given another room, but it wasn't ready, either. The 3rd room was ready and was nice. There was sketchy activity going on at the back side of the motel. Check for better options.2021-09-20"

"The motel was close to the freeway, so it was noisy. OK otherwise.2021-08-30"
"I was disappointed with my stay at this hotel. We arrived at 11 PM and had to ring a bell on the side of the building and talk through a bullet-proof glass window to the employee inside. Not a great way to start. There was a sign by the elevator that it wasn't reliable due to electrical issues, so we carried our luggage up the stairs to our 3rd floor room. Our room smelled like chlorine; the fence below had barbed wire and razor wire. Not reassuring. The beds were hard, and the pillows were flat. The AC was loud. Cheap lobby; no freebies except a coffee thermos. The staff didn't speak English well. Barely a place to sleep.2016-08-25"
"I liked the security in the parking lot at night, but shady-looking people were outside smoking all night. Pay more and stay at another hotel.2015-09-22"
"Basic hotel room and amenities. I woke to find a bug on the bedsheet.2015-09-19"
"Close to Sacramento State. Good hotel for the price. Our non-smoking room smelled like smoke, but it was comfortable and clean. Other guests were pretty loud at night. The staff wasn't rude, so that was a plus. Had free coffee and free parking. Not the best place, but OK for a few nights.2015-03-03"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
