Basic and inexpensive 10 minutes from downtown
Posted Jun 8, 2017
Pros: Quiet, very nice for the price and location
Location: There are a lot of cool things to do and see in the downtown Sacramento area
There aren't many places with high ratings, and under $100 per night, within 30 minutes of downtown Sacramento. Most of what we saw when researching the area, seemed pretty sketchy. To us, the main determining factor is the reviews, especially the most recent ones, and this place seemed to pass muster. When we first rolled in, the place looked a little rough around the edges, but upon closer examination, everything was clean and orderly. Face it, any place that's inexpensive these days is going to attract it's fair share of residents/guests who are down on their luck, for lack of a better term. You are never going to get away from being exposed to that. There are things we look for that tell us whether the establishment/management/staff has control of the situation. Keeping the grounds clean of trash and debris. Good landscaping and exterior structural maintenance. Not allowing people to loiter about. Limiting the amount of traffic coming and going to residents' units. Not permitting loud or noisy activities. Clean and decently maintained units. During our one night stay at America's Best Value Inn Sacramento/ Elk Grove, all of the above practices seemed to be in force.

Nice hotel for 1-2 nights stay.
Posted Jun 2, 2017Lots of parking. Friendly staff. Close to freeway entrance. Pillow too soft. No ironing board and coffee maker and box of Kleenex.

Don't waste you Time!!
Posted May 25, 2017
Pros: When I left in the morning!!
Cons: Tear it down and start over!!
Location: Nothing but a Denny's
The worst Hotel I've ever stayed at!! I requested a non-smoking room, but all rooms have ash trays and matches in them! The room smelled like smoke, I tried to go to sleep because it was too late to get another room! At 1am I hear load screams and someone banging on a door across the way. People smoking weed in their rooms, then when I finally fell asleep the room next to mine sounded like they were filming a Porno Movie!! Terrible!!

Nice place for the money
Posted May 21, 2017 on HotelsNoticed the bedding had what seemed to be paint (as it matched the walls). Aside from that, the staff was really friendly. Checking in and out was a breeze.

Poor
Posted May 10, 2017 on HotelsThe worst experience ever. It's not a kid friendly place. It was more of a "HOE-TEL", than a HOTEL..NEVER AGAIN

Disappointing
Posted May 9, 2017
Cons: see above
Location: It seems that there must be a drug problem in the neighborhood. The city of Folsom isn't terribly far away and I found it worth the trip to see it
Check in felt like I was being vetted, including a long list of do's and don'ts. Breakfast was a packaged muffin, banana, and a choice of apple or orange juice. The television was malfunctioning. The bedding wasn't changed in the 3 days I stayed. At 3 AM I was awoken by a loud rhythmic hammering sound. At $90/night it was the most expensive, and least rewarding stay of my 10 day long trip.
