Run down

This is by far the worse Best Western I stayed at, pretty run down. I won’t be staying at this location again in the future. Customer service was good and there is a Tesla charging station near back of to the hotel.

I’ve stay here a few times when visiting Auburn. But this time my room wasn’t as clean as it usually is. The bathroom had mold in between the tiles and around the tub. Something that should easily be wiped away. Also my husband found someone’s used contact on the night stand. So it kind of made me think things weren’t that clean

The picture and description is for a hotel and this place is a motel. I am a disabled vet that can’t do stairs. We didn’t even stay but charged. Expedia did not help get a refund of any kind.
