Homecoming weekend in Auburn

Very basic, rooms needs updating, hotel needs updating and some TLC. We booked our visit semi-last minute for homecoming weekend, so there were not many choices for places to stay. They also were clearly price gouging for what we paid in comparison to quality of hotel. It did the job for the weekend, but it’s definitely not some place I’d choose to stay again.

Beware! The positive reviews on Expedia are not accurate and are quite misleading. The hotel is dated and dirty. Our room had a horrible smell that was so strong we were unable to sleep. The sheets on one of the beds were stained. The sink did not drain when water was turned on. The shower was moldy. Carpet was stained and threadbare in parts. We tried to call front desk about something only to discover that the phone is a decorative prop and did not actually connect to a phone line! Staff was very pleasant but we relied on reviews in choosing this hotel and feel completely misled about this property.

The hotel was very well kept. Our King room was large and very clean. The hotel was about a 20 min car ride with Auburn game traffic. The hotel was a very good for the price. I would definitely book this hotel when checking out a Auburn game.
