From the moment we arrived, the service was on another level. At check-in we were offered a drink, and instead of just handing us a key and pointing to the elevator, someone personally walked us to our room and showed us around the property. I have never experienced that before at a hotel, and it immediately set the tone for the entire stay. The hotel itself is absolutely immaculate. Everything feels polished, calm, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell that every detail was intentional, from the atmosphere of the lobby to the way the staff interacts with guests. One thing that really stood out were the luxury touches throughout the room. The amenities included Bulgari soaps, body wash, and even perfume, which made the whole experience feel elevated the moment you walked into the bathroom. The marble soaking tub and spacious shower made the space feel more like a private spa than a typical hotel bathroom. Even outside the room, the design details continue. Right by our door there was literally a small moss garden built into the hallway area, which was such a unique and calming touch. At that point I was joking they might as well add a mini waterfall by everyone's door because the atmosphere was already that peaceful. They also offer thoughtful touches during the day like dessert hour, which made the stay feel even more special. It wasn't just a place to sleep -- it felt like a full experience. As someone who works in hospitality and kitchens, I naturally notice service and details more than most people. I have to say this hotel truly impressed me. This is honestly the level of hotel I would want to run or build one day. What I loved most is that everything felt warm and welcoming, not stiff or overly formal. The staff genuinely made you feel taken care of. If you're visiting Auburn and want a stay that feels luxurious, thoughtful, and memorable, The Laurel Hotel & Spa absolutely delivers.

The Laurel is THE luxury experience in Auburn. I have stayed at all the other hotels downtown and…read morethis is the best. Everything is different in a great way than so many hotels. Having been to Thrive Coffee and even in the lower floors for Auburn events I was not exactly sure how to get into it. However, there is a separate valet entrance. We were greeted immediately by a host who showed us around and brought us to the 6th floor to The Library where we were given lemonade with an option to spike it. This was not a wait in line for someone to help you. This was a concierge service the whole time. Our host brought us to the room and showed us around, who doesn't love an iPad to control your thermostat, your blackout shades, tv, and music. The room is deathly quiet. You can actually hear yourself think. The marble bathroom with the tv in the mirror, the separate water closet, shower, and bathtub with Bvlgari amenities is stunning. The bed is uber comfortable with high thread count sheets. The bar cart with items for mixed drinks is something I have never seen in the thousands of room nights ai have stayed all over the world. All and all this is a treasure. I hope I am able to stay here many more times. If you have an Amex Platinum card they have outstanding amenities that were available at this point...including free valet parking, free breakfast, and $100 voucher for restaurant or spa.

There was security in every corner like the secret service and they will not hesitate to grab you by the collar and yank you outside if they don't like what you're doing. Also if you have more than 2 drinks the bar tenders will cut you off and not say why. Also the the bar has about 4 drink options and the bar tenders won't hesitate to give you the wrong thing after they've charged you for it. Overall disappointing for how cute it looks.

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Jordan. She makes you feel completely at ease in front of the camera and has a great eye for capturing moments that are full of life and don't seem stiff or over posed. Not only is the experience wonderful but the creativity and attention to detail she puts in to her editing process is above and beyond. When we get our photos back it seems as if every photo is our favorite! I highly recommend her to everyone I know and I look forward to many more shoots with her in the future!

Luxury? Think Again--A Miserable Nightmare Beneath a Drunken Circus…read more If you cherish sleep, peace, or basic human dignity, steer clear of this disaster masquerading as a hotel. Our supposedly "luxury suite" was directly beneath a bar packed with loud, obnoxious drunks whose shouting, stomping, and relentless noise shattered any illusion of a relaxing weekend. My wife's birthday getaway was effectively ruined by the hotel's careless disregard for guest comfort. When we pleaded with management for help, their tone-deaf solution was an insultingly miserable basement dungeon--windowless, cramped, and reminiscent of a cheap horror film set. Their customer service was indifferent at best, bordering on hostile at worst. The blatant false advertising, nonexistent hospitality, and shameless refusal to address legitimate grievances left us stunned and disgusted. I wouldn't stay here again if it were the last hotel on Earth. Save your sanity--and your money--and stay literally anywhere else.

At the end of our meals, the cake was brought out, no knife, no plates. He asked after I blew out the candles (that my mom brought) if we wanted the cake cut and he would take it to the back to have it sliced. I said no I want to cut it myself and that was fine with him. When we got our check, a $25 fee was added to our bill for the cake. We were not made aware of the add on whatsoever. I think if they would've mentioned from the get go that we had to pay for my cake to be brought out we would've declined and kept the cake with us.
