This is a great deal. If you need a clean place to stay the night in a safe area this is your choice. Very simple design with upgraded interior and has fridge and microwave. Basically two bedrooms to sleep in and bathroom /shower but perfect for what we needed coming in late.

Rooms were dirty smelled of weed and I got bedbugs got video and pictures of them crawling around got bitten pretty good on my arms and back, ended up sleeping in my truck with my wife from 2am until the sun came up all they wanted to offer me was a different room no thanks I'll pass. Hopefully I can get refunded by expedia, I'm pretty upset about the whole experience overall. 0 Stars

If you’re heading to the Auburn area to hike and explore this is a great, affordable option! Rooms were very clean and the owner was super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying again the next time we are in the area.

The checking was easy. I had prepaid for the stay. Miki was very helpful with my special needs accommodations. 1st floor, service animal. She was very nice and i enjoyed speaking with her. For me, simple is perfect. I needed very little. My room was efficient and was all i needed. The room was clean and bright. Nice bathroom and shower. Good water pressure and plenty of Hot water. My queen bed was comfortable. The sheets and pillow cases were clean and fresh. There was enough for space for my gear, bags, and my pups bed. Again, he is a certified service animal. Other furnishings were sparse. The surrounding area is a little busy at certain parts of the day and early evening, the rooms are set back from the street so it's not overly noisy. Everything in zAuburn i is in close proximity. I'll stay again when in town

I was looking for a clean place to sleep on a rail trip. This was a great place that fit my needs. It was clean and looked recently remodeled. When I check into a new place I always check the sheets and bed for signs of bugs. Past the test!! The sheets were clean and very nice to sleep in. The owner was nice and showed interest in my stay. It was a good stay for a motel.

It is modest motel with recently updated rooms. The rooms are clean and fair service. The location is a little noisy because of the traffic but that is the case with most motels. It worked for us for a one night stay.
