Our bathroom ceiling around the heat lamp would leak large amounts of water if the person staying above us was using the shower. During this time we could not use the bathroom without the water getting on us. We were not offered a new room. We stay here every year with no problem, and was disappointed this time.

The huge full wall mirror behind the bed sort of weirded me out. The body soap smelled like lysol. Shoes made a sticking sound on the bathroom floor. Overall a good place to rest your head for the night. Had to watch where walking to car, dog poop all over in grass areas.

The condition of this place reflects in the price you pay. It’s old, outdated, provides the bare minimum….a place to sleep. Upon arriving our room generally smelled like bleach which was a good sign. By the next morning I opened my eyes to seeing the entire ceiling coated in nicotine stains, which became even more obvious when I left and my clothes smelled of stale smoke. Wouldn’t stay again.

Not a bad place to stay but no breakfast on weekends was rough and the overpowering smell of weed is a huge turnoff. Won’t be staying here again.

We stay here whenever we visit our daughter in Auburn. We like it for the location and the cost. I wouldn’t stay here if I were spending a lot of time at the hotel itself.
