I hadn't read amy reviews whatsoever of this place before I got there, I had just been driving for like 8 hours, was tired and it was getting really late. I had originally planned on staying at some cheap Rodeway Inn or something that was out in some desolate industrial area and had a beyond rude Indian guy there who... More

I cannot believe how people can be so nasty and irrational when giving feedbacks. I have read tons of negative reviews of this hotel ahead of my visit and that made me nervous of course. I have lowered my expectations then in order not to get disappointed as soon as I get the first-hand experience of what most people refer... More

This is a very bad neighborhood, we felt unsafe at night walking to the hotel. The room was not very clean, the internet didn't work for about 2 days and overall they didn't care about maintenance. This hotel is just being squeezed out by the investors before closing down. Oh, and the (american) breakfast buffet is very very very fat... More

This place is a dump and recently there was a newstory on cbs sacramento call kurtis section about it. Thank goodness, i cancelled the reservation i had. I tried contacting the hotel via their facebook and twitter but they quickly deleted my questions and the link i posted asking about a response to the allegations. Obviously this hotel tries the...

Unless you enjoy the sensation of having a roach crawl across your face, you won't stay here. I thought I was dreaming, but when I turned on the light, I saw several scurry away from my nightstand and table. I called the front desk about it and they reacted as if it was regular occurrence. No attempt to move me... More

So myself and my friend (both girls mid 20) stayed at this hotel booked as part of a package from a UK travel agent. When reading the reviews I was really worried about the location as travellers said it was located in a scary neighbourhood. Pros About a 7minute walk to the shops in downtown, we even saw Batman being... More

So much hatred towards this place. Nice staff. Big room. Great view over Downtown. Everything is definitely ok. BUT. It is simple. It is basic. All this talk of muggers etc..? What? Grow some and then enjoy this city. Count yourself lucky you are here. Enjoy that moment. Great base for DT and the subway is 7 minutes walk away,... More

Rooms are not very clean...though they have worked on "some" remodeling. If you expect HDTV and/or ESPN (for Monday Night Football) forget it!!! They seem to not to want to pay the price for the customer....also Some of the TV channels are doubled or so snowy they are not watchable!!! I've not yet eaten any food served at this hotel... More
