This is an older but well-maintained motel in a mostly quiet part of Davis. Wooded, park-like. Unpleasant part: the grounds crew spent a very long time with their leaf-blower(s) brrrraaapping loudly the whole time. Would be quieter, I presume, were it not Autumn!
There is a drive-thru coffee shop, a gas station with convenience store, and an I&O burger joint in the intersection. Just a 0.1 mile stroll across the RR tracks, you're in downtown Davis. Total college town, lots of stores, and good restaurants open late. Very safe place. Each time we are here, we wish we'd stayed longer!
Problems. 1) We arrived early and the desk clerk did not think we had a reservation. It was confusing because there were two similar motels with "University" in the name. Eventually resolved. 2) No fault of the motel but its location is significantly challenged. The site is at the freeway cloverleaf and if you miss the entrance-- you're headed for Oakland! On exiting the motel, it is a right-turn-only and you have to not only be alert to avoiding the on-ramp, but you must (legally) drive over the freeway and make a U-turn if you're driving to downtown Davis. We intended to spend a morning exploring it, but blew it off and went right, on to Vacaville.
