When we first drove up to the motel, it looked alright, just like the photographs. But then we got to our room. It was round the back of the motel just opposite the main road which was so noisy that we could hardly hear ourselves talk, and that was with the windows (that by the way did not even have locks on them) shut. Could definitely do with double glazing AND locks, considering it is not in a good area of town.
One of the reasons that we chose to stay here for the night was because we thought we could have a nice relaxing night in the 'spa'. It was apparently 'shut', according to the owner, even though it was still running.
On top of that, myself and my friend very nearly electrocuted ourselves by plugging in things to the sockets in the room; every one sparked so badly and one had a flame out of it! We wanted to complain but thought because we were only there for one night then there wasn't much point. However, after a terrible nights sleep (which also included people trying to get into our room), I went to hand in the room key to check out and was greeted (or not, as the case was) by a woman who could not have been more rude if she tried. I was asked 'what is it?' in such an abrupt, disgruntled tone, so I just said we were there to check out, and she pretty much grabbed the key off me without a word and walked through the back, leaving me no time to complain!
In short, stay at this hotel if you have a death wish or like to be treated with no respect; otherwise, steer clear! I'm sure there are lots of other nice but cheap places in Sacramento that would more suit your needs.

First let me start of by apologizing, the outside noise was outside our control, I wish we could do something to help that. This month the city is working on the side ramp and the road on the side.All our windows are all double glazed and have two lock systems, one press and lock Handel and the other stop lock at the bottom. If you had contacted the front desk we would have been more then happy to accommodate your concern. We try to make our guest feel safe and accommodating and hope we can serve you better in the future.
