MOTEL 6-SACRAMENTO, CA - OLD SACRAMENTO NORTH, Sacramento

The motel sits adjacent to the Discovery Museum and is within a 5-minute drive of the Sacramento Convention Center and California State Capitol Museum. Sacramento International Airport is a 15-minute drive away. The immediate area includes homeless encampments and is best navigated by car, especially at night. Bus route 11 serves the area but with 30-minute headways. Walking to downtown or Golden 1 Center takes about 40 minutes. Gated parking keeps vehicles secure, and the property is close to fast food (McDonald's, Burgers and Brew) and a Mexican restaurant within 0.5-2 km.

Rooms feature air conditioning, heating, cable TV with film channels, and an en suite bathroom. Double and quadruple room configurations are available, with one or two beds. Some rooms have been recently renovated with updated bathrooms and hardwood-style floors. Room conditions vary: many are clean and comfortable, but reports of smoke odor, stains, and hair are common. Freeway-facing rooms can be very noisy. Beds are described as comfortable by some, while others find thin blankets and pillows insufficient. Bring your own shampoo, as only soap is provided. There are no balconies or private bathrooms beyond the standard en suite.

The property has a snack bar with vending machines for drinks and packaged snacks. There is no restaurant, no breakfast service, and no coffee in the morning. Nearby dining includes McDonald's (0.5 km), Burgers and Brew (2 km), a Mexican restaurant within walking distance, and Westside by Identity Coffees (2 km). For a fuller meal, fast food and casual dining are a short drive away.
