We stayed long enough to take pictures and left to find a decent place to stay. It was so bad that I ate the cost, plus the cost for a new Hotel, The pictures speak for themselves, but I will summarize the main issues. 1. Dead ants in the fridge 2. Mold in the shower and along all baseboards 3. The bed was soft that when we sat on it we sank into a pit in the middle (12" of movement). 4. brown stuff splattered on the ceiling 5. TV hung om the wall with the cords dangling below it. 6. No nightstands. 7. Air conditioner was disgusting
Disgusting shower
Mold everywhere

This is a great deal. If you need a clean place to stay the night in a safe area this is your choice. Very simple design with upgraded interior and has fridge and microwave. Basically two bedrooms to sleep in and bathroom /shower but perfect for what we needed coming in late.

This motel was definitely not worth $199 which is what we paid for the 1st night which was a Saturday. Maybe $90 which would have made up for how noisy it was for being on the corner of a main artery. We had never been to the area so we didn't know what to expect and we had read the other reviews so we thought for place to sleep it's just fine. When my husband saw the room, the 1st thing he said a coat of paint wouldn't hurt...I guess that's we get for picking a motel however it shouldn't cost $200 for a night even when we stayed 2 nights and the 2nd was cheaper. Still not cheap enough for I'm afraid.

I was looking for a clean place to sleep on a rail trip. This was a great place that fit my needs. It was clean and looked recently remodeled. When I check into a new place I always check the sheets and bed for signs of bugs. Past the test!! The sheets were clean and very nice to sleep in. The owner was nice and showed interest in my stay. It was a good stay for a motel.

If you’re heading to the Auburn area to hike and explore this is a great, affordable option! Rooms were very clean and the owner was super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying again the next time we are in the area.

It is modest motel with recently updated rooms. The rooms are clean and fair service. The location is a little noisy because of the traffic but that is the case with most motels. It worked for us for a one night stay.
