Best for
This motel best suits budget-conscious travelers, families with children, and visitors attending events at the nearby Sacramento Convention Center Complex, thanks to free-kids-stay policy, free parking, and an outdoor pool.

Travel tips
Since the motel is about 4.5 miles from downtown Sacramento and its many attractions, having a car is the most practical way to reach sights like Old Sacramento Waterfront, Tower Bridge, and the California State Capitol. Budget for WiFi fees if you need reliable in-room internet, and consider requesting a room away from ground-floor exterior entries if you prefer more privacy. Guests attending downtown events should account for the roughly 5-mile drive to the Convention Center Complex when timing arrivals.
