What guests think

At Econo Lodge Sacramento Convention Center, travelers highlight the central, walkable location and budget-friendly prices, alongside very mixed room conditions ranging from clean and adequate to dated, noisy, and sometimes affected by maintenance or cleanliness issues.

Many guests praise friendly, accommodating staff, though some cite rude interactions, refund problems, or poor issue handling. Cleanliness and upkeep are uneven, with positive remarks about tidy rooms alongside repeated reports of dirty bathrooms, mold, and roaches, plus an occasional bedbug report. Parking can be tight, the area and street noise can feel rough at night, and breakfast quality varies. Expect a basic, no‑frills stay focused on price and convenience.

The room was filthy. The bottoms of my feet turned black after walking on the floor: barefoot for about 10m. The room was dirty. There is no weather stripping aroundv so so there are huge gaps under and in the side that bugd cm walk right in. Soda machine is also broken and took $4 from me

Room was dirty. Bathroom floor was filthy, The room was not cleaned for two days, Lady manager accused me of putting the “Do not disturb sign” on the door to explain why the room was not cleaned. When I requested towels, I had to explain why I needed two towels. One for me and one for my wife. Lady manager was extremely rude. Pay the extra money, don’t stay at this motel. If you do risk staying, don’t get a room by the elevator. Up all night with the noise.

The owners are very nice and helpful, considering my midnight train arrival was 3 hours late. The room was clean, and appointed with updated carpets, bedding & furniture. The hotel itself is starting to show its age, but it’s in a really accessible area, with plenty of restaurants and shops (& rental car agencies) within walking distance so, it ends up being a good balance of price point & convenience.

Nice place to stay. Friendly staff. Good safe places to park. Room was clean. Bathroom was clean and functional. Amenities was good. Only thing was the door. 3 types of locks on it, only two worked. And one of the two only worked if the door was set in a specific position. There was some people talking outside the building really loud after midnight, but the property has no control over that. Also the door has a large 1/2" gap, but thankfully no critters. It could definitely use some weather stripping. Beverage machine downstairs next to the front office works too. So that's a plus.

I stayed 3 nights at the Econolodge Convention Center, 711 16th St, Sacramento, California, from 10/25/2023-10/28/2023, room 108. On the third night, I realized I was being bitten by bedbugs. I found an adult bedbug and a nymph, plus droppings, on the sheets. The hotel is old and poorly maintained, so on arrival I checked the sheets and mattress, but did not see evidence of bedbugs until it was too late. There was also a cockroach in the bathroom. I´m letting you know to alert future travelers.

Don’t stay here!! Dirt and grime and other peoples hair in every corner. Mold in the bathroom corners. Plaster to attempt to cover up old holes. Didn’t even feel clean enough to take a shower. And here’s the kicker…cockroaches :’) my friend had a cover open and two hours later went to take a sip and spat out a cockroach!! Several baby roaches found after around the room…service was very friendly but not enough to make up for the yuck

So the positive first...It was close to my event, it hdid some repairs it would be a 3 star hotel. Now it is barely a 2 star. ad an elevator so i didnt have to climb stairs, it looked like they had recently replaced the floors and the room over all was clean. Now for the bad. There was mold in the shower, the bathroom door had pieces of it missing around the door knob, like someone used a crow bar to break it open, the shower curtain was stained with something that looked like blue ink and the room generally was in need of some serious tlc. If this place

First off, the room was full of mold and was not clean. The shower was full of someone else’s hair. I have several photos to prove this. The gentleman at the front desk (Mike or harry, I can’t remember) said he’d talk to his GM about a “discount.” I’m sorry but this room needs to be fully refunded. We had two kids with us, one being autistic with immune system issues. If she gets sick now, this will unleash a whole new set of issues. Additionally, you can hear every sound from outside as if the door is open. In fact, you can see daylight through the door….and there are homeless people walking all over the property causing issues.

This was a nice basic stay. It was clean at first impression but as I used the room for the one night I stayed I noticed the bed sheets may have not been switched to new ones. They were clean as far as smell and look but when getting in the bed I felt crumbs and saw a few specks of idk what. I didn’t see any bed bugs though thanks God. I did however see what looked like a roach that was killed but not cleaned up *eww* it was clean otherwise and towels fully stocked as well as soap and shampoo. Shower got pretty hot which I like. Not too bad for a one night stay but I wouldn’t want to be there long term. The woman at front desk was very kind and quickly came to the front once I entered the office each time. Parking was easy when I got there but late night it was packed. Luckily I was already there before that.

This hotel has not been properly maintained and clearly has not invested in any kind of noise-proofing whatsoever. I'm not a particularly light sleeper and I couldn't sleep a wink due to the noise in this hotel. It sounded like absolutely everything happening inside and outside the motel was happening right there in my room. The room smelled strongly of disinfectant; I'm glad they clearly cleaned the room, but the smell was very strong and didn't dissipate. It was clear they had poorly plastered over cracks and dents in the walls, the mirror in the bathroom was cracked and everything, other than the flooring in the bedroom was old. On the upside, the guy who ran the place was nice and let me leave my car in their parking lot for the day after I checked out as my office was walkable from the motel.

Had a decent time at the Econo Lodge. It is close to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and many good restaurants. One example of a needed upgrade is the electrical outlets were worn out so that my devices would fall out. These cost very little to replace. The TV was old, small and poorly placed for viewing. TV was not important for us; for others perhaps more important.

I was quite impressed with the EconoLodge in Sacramento on 16th Street. I just needed a place to sleep, shower and head to the courthouse in the morning. The room was clean, smelled nice and was actually quiet. The registration was quick and staff friendly. Shower had great pressure and I left thinking I could stay there again if the need arose. Oh and thirsty towels. They could have been a little bigger but dried very well.

The owners are very nice. Answered my questions. The Husband was painting the outside area when I arrived. You can tell they take pride in their property. There are several bars and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. If You are in town for a game at Sutter Health Park like I was it's a 10 to 15 minute drive. 30 to 35 dollars to park depending on where you want to park. Also, you can take public transportation for 5 bucks to the park and 5 bucks back. Would stay here again.

There is black mold in both rooms we stayed in. Woke up with a sore throat that was fine once we got home. Worse customer service when came to figuring out my banking information. Will never stay here again.

There was a homeless person who started a fire in the alley next to the motel building. Holes in bathroom door and walls. It was really old and needs updating.
