7 foot glass barn shower doors at a 2 star motel

Great location to split the drive from SLC to SJC. Walking distance to BBQ and Pizza joints. Staff check in were super friendly, will stay again for the location and value.

We stayed here this weekend for the canyons endurance races and it was the perfect choice. It is so close to the start and finish area. The room was clean and comfortable. They even made us snack bags with an encouraging note! I would definitely stay here again!

Pet friendly

Very easy to book a room, good price$, clean rooms, clean bathrooms, pet friendly, comes w/ microwave, mini fridge & working A/C, small but enough room to get around comfortably, bed was a bit springy & uncomfortable but the showers are very nice & for being right off of the freeway it's really not too loud, best "motel" I've stayed at. Non-smoking Room smelled good too.

We tried staying here and had to leave. I know they are under new management and are looking to remodel. But until they remodel the INSIDE of the rooms, DO NOT stay here. Pros: front desk is kind and friendly. Car ports for cars. Nice TV in the room. Clean toilet. Cons: Rooms are dirty. Cigarette burnt mattresses. Stains on mattresses. Sticky bathroom floors. Sticky damp carpets. Paint covering holes. Stains on chairs and furniture. You can hear ALL road noise. Bathrooms are filthy, grime in shower. Electrical sockets are half on. Walls are dirty and thin (you can hear everything). We got a full refund on all $118. I DO NOT recommend staying here till they remodel the inside of the rooms.

Shower floor.

They weren't very accommodating, no late check out. The doors aren't secure, theft would be very easy- and the shower floor was dirty. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were cleaned, would stay here as a last resort.

Cozy, clean and restful night!

Have stayed here 3 times in last 2 years. Last night was outstanding. They are almost done with remodel and my room was. No complaints.

Air conditioning vent dirty, the bathroom window with mold and one extension cord for everything
Renee C.

This was the most dirtiest Motel I've ever rented they kick me out in 3 hours and did not refund my hundred dollar payment for the room only my deposit

Random table no chairs lol

The breakfast next morning, however, was disappointing and lacking. We came down at 6:30am when nobody else except one other lady was there yet. The yogurt machine wasn't ready and there were no sandwiches. The cereal selections included Raisin Bran and Cheerios. They had instant oatmeal, apple sauce cups, banana and hard boiled eggs. As we were waiting for sandwiches, a 3 person family who sat down after us was given priority for the sandwiches. The lady making them literally handed them over to this 3 person family sitting at their table instead of putting them down where the sandwiches go. I was fine with that except we were in a hurry. When I asked for them next (assuming she went by those who asked her first), she did not give it to me but put it in the sandwich section. At this time, there were 10 more people already. The problem is she only brought out three at a time. A lady took one and I took two for our family of four and I had to feel terrible about it. Later, I heard from the 3 person family that they didn't even want all the sandwiches. Needless to say, I am extremely unhappy about this breakfast experience. We left at 6:55am. Please tell the staff to have sandwiches ready at the breakfast hour at 6am as listed. Also please tell the staff not to hand sandwiches to people whilst there are other folks waiting for them. It was extremely UNFAIR of her to do so. The overall experience is 2 stars since 2 stars were deducted for the breakfast experience.

Location would be great for Receptions or large family getaways, especially if you can occupy all the rooms. No real 'food' or 'drink' amenities, so bring your own. I will note, the kitchen is spacious with modern appliances. The wife & I had a great stay. I suggest searching BOOKING.com for a reservation.

Where do I start...ok,...the bed was beyond comfortable... we just didn't want to get up…read more We called direct for our reservation, which I would highly recommend as the online booking was a bit confusing. The photos and room description was different depending on what site you looked at. There is a steep staircase to get up to the upper rooms so if stairs are an issue, book one of the downstairs rooms We had the Stafford suite and it was amazing. Nicely decorated and again, that bed was so so comfy. If you are under 5'8" you may need a step stool to get in the bed! It can be noisy with the freeway and train nearby but we weren't bothered by it. There is a huge fountain outside the window that helps. This would be a great place for a small wedding or family reunion... the whole place is inviting and cozy. I am sure the grounds are gorgeous in the spring! They do not offer breakfast so we brought some muffins and fruit and enjoyed our coffee in the parlor... you do have full use of the kitchen so If you want to cook, you can. The owners are very prompt to reply if you have questions and check in was a breeze! We will most definitely be back!

After just one call to the Holiday Inn, I knew I was making the right choice. I spoke to a lovely person named Wongie who was very helpful and accommodating. He seriously went above and beyond to help me reserve rooms for two different nights (not in a row)... As well as assist me in making the reservation that someone else is paying for :-) So this review is basically based off of customer service. I was also impressed by the reviews that I have read about this place on TripAdvisor and Yelp. It appears that this hotel is currently the number one hotel in Auburn. I will update this review after we have actually stayed there. But so far I am very pleased

No toothbrush or toothpaste in the room but you can ask at the front desk. Upon arrival, we were given 3 key cards for one room and 2 for the other room. The grooms mom had put together a gift bag for each room so we received 2 - one for my room and one for the other room. We both left ours with the receptionist's while we went to our cars to bring our luggage up to our rooms. We forgot to grab them before we headed out for the night but assumed they would be held for us. Imagine my disappointment, when I went to go grab it later that night, that I was informed the other couple we checked in with, the girl had grabbed them. We didn't check in with a couple but we did with another female who was roomed with another female not present. Our male friend showed up as we were leaving to our cars so maybe the assumption was there but neither of them had the bags. I was told that an unknown female must have grabbed them and that one of the make receptionists thought each guest in each room was supposed to have 1 vs. 1 per room. There was only 7 left and they were for the guests checking in tomorrow. We were given the option for extra points to our account or free breakfast which we took. Food was aright but I would have eaten elsewhere had I known better. I'm knocking stars down because it was the sentimental loss of not having the bags the night prior to the wedding. I found out later that one of the groomsmen didn't get a bag so it was definitely a downer. The shower upon turning on the water had hair floating and leftover soap/shampoo was visible. I had to run the shower for a bit before going in. We were given bedding without downing at my request due to asthma and allergies and we were far from the elevator and we were on the top floor near the bride and groom and some of the groomsmen which was perfect! Convenient location with in n out down below and we were given one coupon for complimentary nonalcoholic / alcoholic beverage at Maxs restaurant.

Foothills Motel in Auburn absolutely lives up to the hype…read more I've been wanting to stay here ever since I discovered their Instagram account about two years ago, and I can confidently say, it did not disappoint in the slightest. The retro aesthetic is incredible. It has that perfect vintage roadside charm, but with a modern, fresh, recently renovated feel that is very well done. The rooms are big, warm, clean, and super comfortable. I loved everything about the design, from the spacious layout to the stylish finishes. The bathroom and shower are huge, the bed is incredibly comfy, and the large TV and private patio really made it feel like a boutique stay rather than a typical motel. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the location is excellent. You're within walking distance of great food and drinks, including The Lounge at Foothill Bowl, which was such a fun spot. The 10 percent discount I got there thanks to staying at Foothills Motel was a really nice perk. There are also great nearby options for Japanese, Mexican, and Beach Hut Deli, so you're set for whatever you're craving. One of my favorite parts was the exterior. The property is beautifully designed, and at night it lights up in such a cool, classic way that it's worth taking a walk around just to admire it. If you love retro style, comfort, and friendly local hospitality, Foothills Motel is a must stay in Auburn. I'll absolutely be back.

The toilet had a slow close lid. None of the higher end hotels had this touch. This was our only stay with wood floors (faux) rather than the nasty carpet most hotels use. The retro mini fridge and cooler was a nice touch. The bed was really comfortable. There is the noise from the road, but that goes away after about 9 pm. Overall we will stay here again, and look forward to it.

Power's Mansion is adorned with so many antique pieces and trinkets that you might initially mistake it for a museum. Each of the rooms have a theme; we had the lighthouse room which was fully decorated in the lighthouse theme.

From my memory in youth they were always decent to well kept establishments. So after an impulsive trip from Reno to Sacramento one day I was headed back to Reno and decided to not drive through the mountains in the dark of night. I saw the Red Lion on the list of places to stay and decided yep that's the one. I pulled in and went to the counter. The check in process was efficient so no complaints there. I walk upstairs and down the hall a bit dazzled by the dated carpet and the random sequencing of room numbers. The sequencing is still a bit bewildering. I get to my room and none of the bedside plugs works. I ascertain that well... none of the plugs are plugged in to make the things work. I take it upon myself to rectify the issue and pull the bed away from the wall and realize why they are not plugged in. Well the outlet is only half secured into the wall. I plug it in anyways and push the bed back. Success! Plugs now work on the night stands. After I settle down I go to take a shower. I am greeted by paint peeling off the walls and dirty switch covers. I then start the shower to abysmal water pressure. This is likely because the rear of the shower head connection puts out as much water as the shower head itself. On the bright side the bed was comfortable to my liking anyways. Not a rock and just soft enough to relax into. Now allegedly there is breakfast but at this point I don't know that I even wanna risk it for the biscuit. I have already renamed this place in my mind as no longer the Red Lion but simply The Mangy Lion instead. I would recommend a revamp of The Mangy Lion to restore it to its former prominence as a Red Lion.

We also decided to stay here because the Annual Rib Cookoff in Auburn was the next day. After we checked into our super clean room with 2 queen beds, we went out to dinner(for our one year anniversary). When we got back to our room, the TV wouldn't connect. We phone the front desk, and the nice man that checked us in came up and fixed it for us and also pointed us to the ice machine (no ice buckets available). Our beds were comfy, sheets were clean, and pillows were fluffy. The table and rolling chair were very clean(this time). Again, they have great channels available for your needs. The next morning, you can go to their main office, but take the elevator to the next floor so you can enjoy their hot complimentary breakfast. I had an English muffin with eggs and bacon worth hot sauce & ketchup on it. They also have fruit, yogurt, muffins, and other breads available. They even have a pancake machine! We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. I do look forward to staying in Auburn again at the Rodeway Inn!
