Place was Okay

the place was clean and for the price you get what you pay for. Place is dated and could use a lot of upgrading to the rooms. People were pleasant but trying to get towels the next day was a hassle. It is fine if you are on a tight budget or if you are just needing a place for an overnight stay.

overnight in a pinch

I think it is way overpriced for what you get. The room was pretty clean but the air-conditioning was not good. The window type unit did not have a front so the air just blows on the bed closest to it. Parking was ok but I didn't feel real safe there.

When I booked room through Expedia I didn’t see office was closed at 10! I travelled from Canada & got into Auburn just after midnight. Surprised door locked, no one at desk. I called few times & finally got through. I woke staff up to let me in! She was accommodating & glad I got to rest.

The two people at the front desk were super nice. The facility was filthy. Towels were stained. Floors were disgusting. Toilet rocked back and forth. We were checked into a room that someone was already occupying. And that man was cooking something in his room. I honestly thought my car would be stolen overnight.

First off scheduled stay and the room was not ready for 2 hours. I had to leave my stuff in the car while I carried out my plans for the day. Anyway, Homeless encampment in the back lot. Room is dirty, the only provided thing is a packet of shampoo you’d find in a jail and a towel for shower and washing hand towel. Bedding stained, pillows stained. The sketchiest place to stay in auburn. The staff was doing there job, as best they could with what they have.

Room wasn't ready when I checked in, in the evening. Had to wait while they put a shower curtain and blinds and install the toilet seat. No soap, no trashcan, stained/dirty towels. Someone was working on a truck in the parking lot with tools and parts everywhere. And someone, who they claim to not know, came into my room while I was sleeping and was in the room for a minute and a half before I woke up to find them standing at the end of the bed and left quickly once I woke up. I'm going to file a police report. They offered me half my payment back. I'm never going back there again.

Me and my family booked this room for convenience and price. Once we checked in the room is very shabby but overall had no bugs and was very roomy. The tv didn’t work at all and when we tried to get helped we was told “oh well”, we asked for a different room and was told no. It wasn’t until I contacted hotel.com customer service they reached out to property and then we was offered a new room. Me and my family refused and jugs wanted to leave the property after sleeping in a hot dark room overnight. We was given a refund for the remaining stay

Never again. Sketchy, scary place. Nasty, nothing is nice. Didn't even look at the reservation. Suppose to have a double and got a single. How does Expedia even show this place or let people make reservations thru them. Its a bad look. I'm not using Expedia anymore after this. Worst place I've ever stayed.

This was honestly the worst hotel that I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was rude when we checked in when we got into our room at 5 PM it was disgusting… the bed was stained and not made. There was gum on the nightstand. The manager yelled at me when I ask for another room or to have the room cleaned and I asked for a $20 cash deposit for the key card for the room. The whole area was scary and unsafe. I was overcharged. I would never stay here again.

While traveling & before arriving at the motel, the motel called us to inform me that they had no vacancy! They did not honor our 'reservation'. Then about an hour they later called again to say that they were holding a room for us. Expedia called us to make sure we were okay having a King bed instead of a Queen. We were fine with that. When we checked in, the first question from the desk was "were you wanting to cancel?" :( The room smelled of mothballs or some other chemical. The floor was sticky. Our door's deadbolt would not turn to secure the door. The pillows looked stained or dirty. They had not put sheets on the bed! We were given a Double bed after reserving a Queen & being promised a King. Those were the final straws & we did not stay there.
