Hotel Details

Location

Conveniently located just off the freeway at 21 Howe Avenue, 15 minutes from the airport and 11 km from downtown.
The hotel sits on a busy intersection with direct access to I-5, making it easy to reach Old Sacramento, the Sacramento Zoo, Crocker Art Museum, California State Capitol, and Six Flags Waterworld. California State University is also close by. The surrounding area has fast-food options (Wendy's, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Denny's) within a 10-minute walk, plus a Starbucks and gas station across the street. The immediate neighbourhood is busy and can feel less secure at night, so using the free on-site parking is recommended. For longer stays or visits to downtown, the hotel's position suits car travel best.

Accommodation

All rooms and suites are spacious, air-conditioned, and include a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer, iron, and cable TV.
Suites offer a minibar, separate seating area with a sofa sleeper, and some include spa baths. Family rooms with two double beds and a sofa bed are available. Room size is generally large, especially in the King Suite and the Efficiency King Suite (which has a single bathroom). The property has a mix of older and recently remodelled rooms - remodelled units feature updated lighting and modern decor. Rooms have windows that open and individual temperature control with heating and air conditioning. Soundproofing between rooms can be inconsistent; thin connecting doors and hallway noise may be an issue. Some rooms have had maintenance issues such as noisy shower pipes or loud AC units. Rooms on the ground floor offer easy access from parking.

Dining

A daily hot breakfast is available for $10 per person, featuring eggs, meat, yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal, and custom waffles.
The breakfast spread includes hot items (eggs, sausage patties), a make-your-own waffle station, yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal, bread options, juices, and coffee. Free coffee and juice are also available in the lobby throughout the day. The breakfast is generally described as decent and well-stocked, though some travellers find the variety basic. Several fast-food restaurants and Denny's are within walking distance for alternative meal options.

Wellness and Leisure

An indoor heated pool and hot tub are available year-round, along with a fitness centre.
The indoor pool is heated to about 27.8 °C and includes a shallow end, with pool towels provided. The hot tub is free to use. The fitness centre has updated machines. The pool and hot tub are small, but they are clean and well-maintained. The indoor pool area uses chlorine, which can create a noticeable smell throughout the building. The hot tub water has been reported as cloudy at times. The gym is compact but adequately equipped for a basic workout. Towels for the pool area are provided, but availability can vary.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, free secure private parking with reservation, 24-hour front desk, express check-in/out, and daily housekeeping.
On-site facilities include a minimarket, laundry (additional charge), lift, and wheelchair-accessible rooms with grab rails and raised toilets. The property is entirely non-smoking. Safety features include key card access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. Free newspapers are available in the lobby. The front desk staff have been noted for being helpful and accommodating early check-ins and late check-outs when possible. The parking lot is well-lit and secure but can be tight; reservation is required.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Reserve online and book a standard room instead of a suite to avoid paying extra for minimal upgrades.

  • 02

    Request a quiet room away from the elevator and the busy freeway-facing side for better sleep.

  • 03

    Confirm the current deposit amount ($200 per room) at check-in and ensure you have available funds on your card.

  • 04

    Use the Express Check-In/Check-Out service and the luggage storage if arriving early or departing late.
