Motel 6-Sacramento, CA - Old Sacramento North

I visited Sacramento for the California International Marathon (CIM) and picked this motel as a budget place to stay for the weekend. My personal priority when picking this motel was to find a place that wasn't as expensive as the options in the heart of downtown while still being reasonably close to downtown. In order to fit within my budget, I was okay with staying at a place with minimal frills. This motel had convenient access to I-5 and downtown Sacramento. Plus, its proximity to the Sacramento River Bike path made walking to downtown a reasonable option (~4 miles round trip) for me personally. I found my room to be clean and spacious with ample desk/table space and a comfortable bed. Also, I found the soundproofing for my room, which faced the freeway, to be sufficient to keep car noise to a minimum. As a less-expensive place to stay for CIM weekend, this motel met my needs well.

I was extremely tired from driving 16 hours. It was late and I was traveling alone and needed a safe, clean, affordable stay. I’m not from Sacramento and don’t know the neighborhoods. This place was easy to get on/off the 5. After check in I was able to move my car behind the security gates, so both my car and I had one more level of protection. Check in was fast and easy and the person behind the window was quick and efficient as she could see I was exhausted. The room was clean and comfortable.

Can’t beat the price for such short notice! This was the cleanest Motel 6 I’ve been in. It had all new furniture and television. Room was surprisingly clean and modern. Front desk staff was very thorough and nice.

It was located in a convenient area and had super-friendly faculty and staff members. This was combined with excellent customer service and hospitality.

I felt safe as a single female traveler. The room and property were very clean and the staff was wonderful. There are working security cameras all over the property. Quick, easy drive to downtown.
