The room and property were very clean. The staff was friendly. The room was very tiny. The only space large enough to set up my babies playpen was where the door opened. I also wished there was a bath tub instead of just a shower but that's just a personal preference.

Fantastic! Beautiful, vintage style motel in impeccable shape. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is super friendly, and the pool was clean, private and pleasant. Centrally located, it’s simply the BEST hotel in Auburn. You made our stay (we were in town for a funeral ) quite pleasant.
