Would stay here again

My friend and I spent 2 nights here during a golf tournament. This hotel was very near where we had to be early in the morning. At first, we were a bit disappointed with the location on the freeway, and the outer appearance of the older motel. We were pleasantly surprised with the updated rooms, cleanliness, comfortable beds and large screen TV in the rooms. Breakfast was included and had some healthy options. This motel was about 7 minutes from downtown Auburn and good restaurants. The pool looks much larger in the pictures than it actually is, but was also spotless and clean.

Our room was very nice and they cleaned/remade the beds everyday w/o asking. The breakfasts were also just what we needed before going out to golf early in the morning.

This location was easy to locate and access. Property was clean and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would have been nice if breakfast was available until 10:00 AM on a weekday, but did not affect our overall opinion of the property.
