Pros

Close proximity to multiple attractions including casinos and museums
Free parking and WiFi access included
Pet-friendly accommodation policy
Cons
Located 62 miles from Sacramento Airport
Limited on-site amenities compared to larger hotels
“After a long day of outdoor activities, the basics become paramount, and unfortunately, based on reports, those seem to be unreliable here. With widespread issues affecting fundamental amenities, it appears the primary draw is purely last-resort availability. Consider all options carefully, especially given the cost relative to potential discomfort.”
