Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (4/5): - The man who ran the motel was kind and helpful but the area where hotel is located is very sketch and has people to be concerned with, homeless, drug users, etc. I would not stay here again for those reasons.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible - Do not stay here, unless you do not care about your safety. Only people who do not have homes stay at this Motel.
• Chris (2/5): Crappy motel! - Worst experience I have at any motel! I would never recommend anyone to stay there.
• Hanoch (2/5): - We came in the hotel around 10p but room was not available. The only good thing was that they refer us to another horrible hotel 20 min away
• Deozjhana (2/5): - 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
• dirt (2/5): - 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.
• Miranda (6/5): - The property was fine (it seemed clean and safe), but it was quite expensive for what we got. There wasn't even WiFi in the room, and we paid over $100 USD. The staff were friendly and helpful.
• Renee (8/5): - OK for a low budget overnight stay. No bugs, no smell, clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable in #23. Staff was friendly.
• Debrina (2/5): - I wasn't able to get the room I booked, so they were able to put me and my family in another room. The 2 ACs barely worked. There was a lamp in the bathroom for lights. Some of the light fixtures in the room did not work.
• Nick (2/5): - 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.
• Tod (2/5): - 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.
• Myra (8/5): - Close to the softball grounds
• Howard (4/5): - Location okay but everything else - - - not. Checked in then checked out 15 minutes later. Staff apologetic - but I was still billed $140. on my Visa. Lesson learned.
• Scott (8/5): - Some traffic noise.
• Erica (2/5): - too much outside activity unhealthy the room smell of cat urine, and dirty, the floor was gross bathroom toilet, tub unclean and there was roaches we didn't stay when talking to the lady she act as if it was ok i did ask for a full refund with no question ask the
• Sharon (2/5): - Had to wait for 15 minutes till the clerk finally came out, who was wrapped in a blanket, the room was, curtain had holes on it and was not hung right at all, the heater had missing buttons for control, the bedding was from the 60s, didn't fit the beds, we had one towel and one wash rag for 2 people, no garbage can, no phone to call front desk, we slept on top of blankets cause were not sure if they were clean. Also had someone come in in the middle of the night and said oh sorry wrong room, keys must be the same for all rooms, people outside were tweekers, going through their truck throughout the night. Scary place to stay.
• Teresa (4/5): - 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.
• T (6/5): - I would stay at the Auburn Motel if I ever found myself in Auburn, Washington. Auburn Motel is right across the street from the Les Gove Park. Great park for walking my dog.
• Royce (4/5): - 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.
• Lance (8/5): 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.
• Kelley (2/5): - Front desk staff was very kind. The place, though….Sketchy. So sketchy.
• Stephanie (4/5): - Terrible check in process- all by hand and very slow. Motel very run down, clean but very shabby. Staff very nice
• David (8/5): - Cheap hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - it's an old hotel with many questionable people staying there. The management was polite and helpful, A+ to them The hotel needs some updating.
• Ken (4/5): - In poor condition. Loud traffic noise. Way to much money spent for what I got.
• Jimmy A (10/5): - It bc is right where I need to go
• Julianne (2/5): - Disgusting sheets. Really disgusting. Drug use outside. Very very sketchy.
• Austin (2/5): - 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.
• Aj (2/5): - The room did not smell good at all.. I would not even bring my clothes up to the room. I literally smell like the room the next day even after I left.
• Sonia (10/5): Above and beyond - Excellent customer service and very much appreciated how the lady working front desk aknowledged my daughter for helping me out with my youngest two. It made her feel validated and special especially when she rewarded her. It touched my heart deeply especially when it was our first (single mom) family trip. Thank you so much it was the cherry on top of such a comfortable and most relaxing stay.
• Wendell (8/5): - Even though it was old, the manager was helpful and kind and courteous.
• Michelle (2/5): - Nothing to like
• Sara (10/5): - The manager Katisha was amazing. She helped me in all my request and went up and beyond.
• James (6/5): A bed for the night... - Auburn Motel is a reasonable low cost option. If you are looking for a cost effective place to lay your head it checks that box.
• JIMMY (4/5): - The beds need an upgrade. The lights in the bathroom did not work. The bathroom light and fan fixture did not have a cover. The TV did not work but staff let me use her app to watch tv.
• David (2/5): - Nothing works
• Verified traveler (4/5): Never again - Ant traps in the corner of room, no trash cans, used fake nail in drawer in bathroom. No phone, my wheelchair didn't even make it into the room with the bed.barely made it through the actual doorway.
• Juan c (2/5): - There was crap on the toilet and the shower curtain, couldn't get coffee over all worst place. To stay was there for 7 days, never again
• David (10/5): - Great place and the staff are really nice I enjoy my visits and stays there
• Patricia (4/5): Needs serious cleaning and regular maintenance - Floor was dirty, from lack of mopping. Walls needed cleaned. Mattresses were thin on folding frame and was like a hidabed mattress/frame. It’s taken 3 days for my back to recover. Missing trim on walls. Toilet was the height used for kindergartners at a school. Shower had duct tape over holes and cracks in tub. Smoke alarm was beeping and hubby had to fix, by putting new battery in. Lack of hdmi cord for tv. Dog area was filled with a massive amount of dog feces (we picked up ours). Staff was very nice, sheets were clean. Once we got the cord, tv was great.
• Philip (4/5): - Looked like sheets weren’t washed, overpowering marijuana smell coming from non-smoking rooms
• William (2/5): - The first room they gave me was dirty. As in dirt in the bed, stained sheets, old stained pillows, and cigarette burns all throughout the blankets. Got a different room after being told I can't get a refund. Room was better, but still not nice, until at 2 am we were woken up by earwigs crawling on us and the wall. Went to the desk. Nobody was there. Called an Uber and stayed elsewhere. Called the desk first thing in the morning and manager argued about the bugs and wouldn't give me a refund. Horrible property and management would not recommend to anyone.
• Cory (8/5): - No frills accommodation - good value. Friendly, accommodating staff.
• michael (2/5): - The place should be condemned i would not recommend to no one
• Senituli (10/5): - The bed was kinda uncomfortable
• Verified traveler (6/5): 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.
• Miris (2/5): - Dirty unsafe terrible
• Verified traveler (2/5): Not Recommended - Initially, they misunderstood and booked us in as another guest, who had paid $20 more for their room. Gave us cash for the difference. Room had at least 7 flies, which I killed most of them before bed using a magazine they offered from their check-in lobby as they did not have a fly swatter that I would borrow. The bedspread and sheets had visible loose dirt (and hair on the sheets). We requested new sheets and were brought clean sheets and a blanket for us to put on ourselves. I then went to the office to get replacement pillow cases. There is no ice machine. They did accommodate our request for a first-floor room.
• Dawnda (6/5): - 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.
• Andrew (4/5): Disappointed - Floor in room was dirty. Sheets didn't appear clean. One of the outlets was on the same switch as the room light, light off-outlet off.
• Stephanie (10/5): - The owner seems dedicated to providing a good experience
• Ian (4/5): - Walls are thin so you can hear the loud neighbors and the highway is the very noisy at night. The sink didn't drain, the room was stuffy and smelled of decades of smoking (at least the A/C unit worked to clear that out), the outer hallways were littered with trash (cigarette butts and cans), and the stair well smelled of urine. But the price was cheap, so you get what you pay for.
• Stephen (2/5): - I paid for a room with a King bed, as I am tall and the option was available. When I arrived, I was told that the motel did not actually have any rooms with King beds (literally lied to Expedia about having them at all, not just for that night). Instead, they just have a guest suite with a larger, second room included. It was too late in the evening to argue this and I had a weekend of work ahead of me, so I was forced to accept this answer and take the room. When I got into the room, the bedding and bedsheets were stained and gross - I ended up taking the pillows and sleeping on the smaller couch in the secondary room. On night #2, there were bugs in the bedding, so I again slept on the couch. I was too busy with working to deal with changing hotels mid-stay. There was also no WiFi available to me in the hotel room as advertised - because the room was too far away from the single WiFi router they had set up in the office (my room is on the opposite end of the motel).
• Verified traveler (4/5): Could be nice someday - Probably the nastiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. They appear to be trying to remodel… the labor is NOT skilled.
• cynthia (6/5): Nice spacious room with issues - I was lucky and got moved to a ground level room. The room was spacious The air in room was filled with old smoke Brought in my own lysol wipes to wipe down some surfaces- dirty- there was sunflower seeds like bird seed in a drawer and bits of stuff frozen in the ice in the small freezer I brought my own lysol spray and sprayed down the room and bathroom-- it was ok for awhile-ended up sleeping with my mask on there was no battery for the remote control and the table lamps wouldn't turn on
• cynthia (4/5): noisy - there was a group of people being very loud outside their rooms
• vicki n (8/5): Nice staff - They only had a sexond floor riom available but the stairs were outside, cement with no backs to them and 3 flights turns whixh woukd have been diffu ult for me to safely navigate multiple trips with baggage after having just had eye surgery. I had paid before i saw the stairs and their policy is no refunds after payment so i couldnt just find another motel. They were polite through the entire process and finally put me in a large room that appeared to be in the process of being remodeled. Being right along a busy road it was a little noisy with the usual roadside garbage (occasional paper, cans etc.) And people walking by late at night. .most of the rooms were located in the back of the building so wouldnt have noticed.
• Colleen (4/5): - This hotel is a mess, no wifi, and trash all over, a pair of underwear around a pole by the stairs to the 2nd floor
