We are attending an event in Modest near Enochs High School What are some decent, safe, affordable hotels there? Amenities are not important, just a place to sleep that isn't 1000 degrees or dollars.
Thanks

I had some ideas until you mentioned safe. Just joking. Have a good trip.
At hotels dot com...this looks nice and is on sale for $88 from 114:
Not sure if it’s by the HS.
Travelodge’s are inexpensive and usually very clean. Ask for non-smoking.
I left Modesto in 2006. It`s a total gang infested shithole.
Not sure if you’re from CA to begin with but it’s hard to find something south of a hundred bills that’s clean and decent. Discount sites will help. There are no hotels way out in the east side of town where your events are.
I might recommend the Ramada Inn on Sisk Rd. for price, location, pool and dining options.
I don’t steer people to anything on West Orangeburg Ave because, although they look good on paper, they get sketchy guests.
The Double Tree downtown is great but pricey.
Anything in the town of Salida is probably good and fairly convenient to the soccer fields.
Btw, we’re 107 today and 111 by Thursday. Hopefully it cools down before your visit. Feel free to run your final choices by me and I’ll help you pick.

Motel Six is either really bad or pretty bad, but cheap(er).
Ditto from this native Californian who lived in some of the most desirable parts of the state and often passed through Modesto; left and seldom look back except to visit family on occasion.
Rey, finding a safe motel/hotel may be the easy part. You will be in a potentially dangerous environment and should maintain a high level of alert. If you are a AAA member you might call their local office and ask for their best recommendation.
[Very well-lighted parking area, private security, across the street from the CA Highway Patrol, etc. {;^) ]
Agreed.
Drive to Manteca...
Clearly a long way from the place that George Lucas grew up in and was the inspiration for American Graffiti.
I stayed in a cheap hotel in Modesto once and got swarmed by bed bugs. Sorry I cant remember hotel name. Was not a big chain but a mom and pop place.
Anything east of California might be ok. Sorry can’t help otherwise.
Skip Bates Motel.
I’m the Sacto area, it’s going to be hot for about the next 10 days. Damned climate change. Happens every year about this time.
