Not worth it.
Pros:

T was affordable

Cons:

they were no smoking signs everywhere but yet everything smelled like smoke and a lot of people are still smoking. The first room we received smelled like wet carpet. The second room we received. The carpet was dirty as though something was smeared into it, like chocolate, and the comforter was dirty, and the tub was dirty and blocked with plastic. The breakfast was not good at all.

Pros:

Loved the room and river view! It was absolutely perfect! I wish all hotels had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment style rooms like this with shared living space. Also there were 2 additional rooms that could totally fit a full size air mattress for extra guests.

Cons:

There were a lot of sketchy people and activities that occurred throughout the day and night. Safety was definitely a concern. Also, the balcony spaces are wide enough for small children to fit through and fall. Those should have an extra bar installed between the current bars for safety.

I wouldn’t stay here ever again
Pros:

The property is in a central location to downtown SAC

Cons:

Their are people on drugs walking around the facility day and night. It is constantly loud and disruptive which makes it hard to sleep. This isn’t just a hotel, it’s also a community where locals are living as well so there’s constant traffic in and out. There are roaches in the room. It’s dirty.

Worst hotel I have ever been to.
Pros:

First of all, this was probably the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever been in. There was a lot of sketchy people outside in the room was filthy. The microwave and fridge both didn’t work and a 6 foot mirror fell off the wall and shattered almost crushing my baby in the hotel has refused to do anything about it. They offered to come my stay, but I would never stay here again and I recommend that if anybody has children, they stay far away from this location.

Cons:

Unsafe and unclean. Terrible customer service
