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.

We stayed long enough to take pictures and left to find a decent place to stay. It was so bad that I ate the cost, plus the cost for a new Hotel, The pictures speak for themselves, but I will summarize the main issues. 1. Dead ants in the fridge 2. Mold in the shower and along all baseboards 3. The bed was soft that when we sat on it we sank into a pit in the middle (12" of movement). 4. brown stuff splattered on the ceiling 5. TV hung om the wall with the cords dangling below it. 6. No nightstands. 7. Air conditioner was disgusting
Disgusting shower
Mold everywhere

This motel was definitely not worth $199 which is what we paid for the 1st night which was a Saturday. Maybe $90 which would have made up for how noisy it was for being on the corner of a main artery. We had never been to the area so we didn't know what to expect and we had read the other reviews so we thought for place to sleep it's just fine. When my husband saw the room, the 1st thing he said a coat of paint wouldn't hurt...I guess that's we get for picking a motel however it shouldn't cost $200 for a night even when we stayed 2 nights and the 2nd was cheaper. Still not cheap enough for I'm afraid.

The Best Value in Auburn, CA, Clean & Comfortable

This is an independently owned Hotel and everyone working here is extremely kind and helpful. I would be here for one night but I liked it so much that I booked another night's stay. The location is phenomenal, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, wineries, and shopping are all just outside the door and it's less than half a mile from I-80. It is an older motel but everything has been updated and is safe and comfortable. When I checked in the owner told me I could have a complimentary water or beer for the adults I said I'll take it and he gave me both bottled water and Medelo beer. I like this place and will stay again the next time I'm through here.

The property and room were both very clean and overall we had a great stay at this property. We were hoping to check-in early since our reservation included early check-in but when we called they told us it was not possible so good to note that early check-in may not be available for you. We did ask for late check-out as our flights were later in the day, they gave us 30 minutes additional time. This wasn't as much as we were hoping for (1 hour) but we did appreciate a couple extra minutes. We would stay here again if we were in the area.

Tiny bathroom, stain on the wall.

The room was so small - my husband stayed for a business trip and wouldn’t even shower. There was only about an inch on each side of the toilet. There was a 1 and a half inch gap in the door to his room so someone could have put their hand under he door. There was what looked like a blood stain on the wall. Husband did say it was relatively clean but still would never stay there again!!

Freezing

Worst hotel stay ever. We arrived late and I immediately put my boys in bed, only to discover that the heater for the room was completely broken and would not switch on. It was plugged in, so clearly broken. Did not want to deal with changing rooms at the late hour, so just froze. Traffic noise at this location is excessive with really loud jacked up pick up trucks going by at all hours of the night. No amenities or coffee in rooms, except a fridge.

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
