Colfax Motorlodge

Colfax Motorlodge

8/10 Good
"Room was clean, most importantly so were the bed and floors. A good bargain as I stayed one night for $60. My biggest gripe was the poor WiFi. Fridge was cold, microwave works, AC blows strong, and shower was hot. Coffee maker was pretty dirty so I didn’t use it. Overall, apart from the WiFi my experience was pretty good."

Northern Queen Inn

Northern Queen Inn

8/10 Good
"Our room appeared to be an accessible queen bed room. Oddly the bathroom was nearly 40% of the size of the total room, although there was no bidet or soaking tub to use the extra space, just a standard small tub/shower on one side and a short walk across the room was the toilet. The grounds and exterior of the hotel were nicely appointed and well-kept, but the room itself was fairly spartan with a bed, dresser, bedside tables, a large areas of empty space. Would encourage filling rooms with antiques or additional furniture. Nice that they served breakfast, but no apparent vegan options, other than whole fresh fruit."

Red Lion Inn & Suites Auburn

8/10 Good
"Pros: Property has everything you need for a short stay. The parking lot and location is safe and easy to access. The staff is very nice at check in and check out. There is a continental breakfast included at no extra charge. The rooms are spacious. The bed is very comfortable. There is a fridge, blow-dryer, ironing board, and the shower water is warm and good water pressure. Next to the hotel is conveniently a taco bell and Starbucks. The location is just a short uber ride to downtown. Cons: This is an older property, the rooms could use a little extra cleaning and minor updating but to be expected for its age. Reason for staying: We like to day drink and hop around the shops and downtown/old town and found this is a comfortable hotel to stay and the location is very convenient."

"Very nice boutique hotel. Very comfortable rooms and the staff at the front desk were very nice. When we got to the hotel a little early, our room wasn't ready. We walked through the convention area and the lady from the front desk tracked us down to let us know the room was now available. Good breakfast in the morning."
