Good location and quiet. Close to many restaurants ,Arden Fair Mall and Cal Expo.Easily walkable though not late at night. Not on freeway but very close.Rooms are larger than most Motel 6's-used to be Vagabond Inn, I think. King room included dresser, 2 night stands, large table and chair, refrigerator and small microwave.Towels weren't the plushest, pillows not too firm... More

While my usual hotels were booked, this Motel 6 fit our needs for a one night stay while we visited the Cal Horse Expo. Unfortunately, the pool and hot tub were closed for repairs and it was a really hot day. This is the largest Motel 6 I have seen. The rooms were clean and comfortable. All-in-all, a good deal...

The staff was nice and friendly.. of course the problem was there wasn't even an alarm clock in the room ..and the towels were like drying on a brillow pad..really rough and extremely tiny..soap wouldn't even lather..both the hot tub and pool were closed...

I was traveling to Sac for a last minute convention, picked this one because all the other hotels charged a ridiculous pet fee whereas Motel 6 didn't cost anything. I have stayed at a few higher end places so being a motel I didn't expect much just a place to rest during the day. I was completely impressed, first I... More

Very nice motel, front desk personnel were very friendly. Clean rooms, next to Applebees Restaurant. Microwave and refrigerator, but no coffee maker. We will definitely stay again. Smoking rooms available. Good place!

A former Vagabond Inn,now a Motel 6. Clean and comfortable,but wood floors.I guess easier to take care of. That was the ground floor room we were in. The biggest compaint I have was the towels. Disgusting old dingy scratchy rags,Bleach might have helped. You could see though them and they were so rough to the skin you could exfoliate your... More

The first time my husband and I stayed at this Motel 6, we were on a spur of the moment trip to Sacramento and decided to stay. We popped in, just to grab an inexpensive room. That first trip (Sept. 2009) we got a large room with a balcony, big bed...it was a great room, better than we expected. The... More
