Motel:
If you don't want to sleep right next to someone who forgot to take a shower after riding all day, I've located some motel properties that should be conveniently located and decently priced. I am listing two places in Sacramento, about 3 miles from my house, and one up in Auburn. So far I have no feedback from anyone on rooms they've booked, so you all get the same information at this point.

The two Sacramento locations are close together, and both right near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Watt Avenue. Easy on and off, and a short, uncomplicated ride to my house. I-80 is the main road connecting all three ride locations. If you would like to stay in Sacramento, I recommend one of these:

Travelodge (free breakfast, free local calls)
4325 Watt Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95660
Phone: 916-971-9440 Fax: 916-483-3836
$63.89 "bearly believable" rate for 10/17

Econo Lodge (washer/dryer, continental breakfast, outdoor pool)
2912 Auburn Blvd. (just west of Watt Ave.)
$55 standard rate for 10/17 ($49.50 w/AAA)

Instead, you may prefer to stay in Auburn. This puts you right next door to the Saturday ride, and closer to Downieville, but further from Fairfield. Granite Bay is about the same distance from Auburn as it is from my house. Most of Auburn's hotels/motels are along I-80 and in the same general area. I think the Best Western is a pretty nice one, so I'll list that here:

Best Western Golden Key (continental breakfast, heated pool—covered during winter, spa, laundry, 12 and under free with adult)
13450 Lincoln Way
Auburn, CA 95603
Phone: 530-885-8611 Toll Free Reservations: 800-201-0121 Fax: 530-888-0319
Note: Call for rates. Most rooms are booked so their web site reports it as full.
