I was heading home to Sacramento, and found this place online. A room with a Jacuzzi tub for under 100 bucks a night out the door, on the Saturday after Christmas, when everybody is driving home, no less... the hotel does sit right up next to the freeway, and I was on the freeway side of the hotel, but I didn't hear anything. Plenty of parking, including parking for big rigs, and vehicles pulling trailers.
I was checked in by Nadia, who was very friendly and very helpful. The lobby was very clean. The hotel also has a very decent sized indoor pool.... they also have a fitness center and a guest Laundry.
My room was spotless. Plenty of plugs to charge my gear, the heater heated the room well. There was a fridge, a microwave, and a coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable....
The star of the room was that Jacuzzi tub. It's big enough to hold two people, and it was amazing. The Jacuzzi Jets were just so relaxing. There's a timer. It gives you 15 minutes of the Jacuzzi Jets. Unfortunately, the timer was across the room underneath the TV set. So when the Jets shut off, instead of getting out of the tub and walking across the room to reset the timer, I just soaked in that wonderful tub for almost another 10 minutes. I slept like a baby afterward. Breakfast in the morning is basic, cold cereal, they have a waffle machine, yogurt, and coffee. If you want more, there are plenty of good places to eat in town. The black bear diner is less than a half a block away, decent portions of great comfort food at decent prices.
There was a problem with the TV set. I could get Netflix and YouTube, but none of the Dish Network channels. I mentioned it to Nadia, and she said there wasn't anything she could do. She gave me the email address for her supervisor. I emailed the supervisor, and he called me on my phone in less than 10 minutes. He told Nadia what she had to do to reset the TV set, and she came up and tried, but unfortunately, I just couldn't get the Dish Network. He offered to put me in a different room, but I had already unpacked. I asked if I could get a few dollars off the room rate, and he mentioned that I was already on the government rate. That was fair. At least they tried. In addition to what I did get off the TV, I also had my iPad.
One other tiny glitch, while the Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream video, occasionally, it would either bog down, or disconnect for a few seconds. I just reset it on my iPad, and it was fine.
This was a great night, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you. read more
