We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect—just minutes from all the sights we wanted to see, with plenty of great food and fun nearby. The added perk of 10% off at the bowling alley was a nice touch, and having the Tasty Freeze right next door was a bonus! The property itself was well-kept, peaceful, and had a welcoming atmosphere. Our room (400+) was spotless, and we truly appreciated how accommodating the staff was with our fur baby, making sure we had a room with easy access to a grassy area for her. Small details like this made our stay even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!

It was very clean and had a retro vibe. Our room had cute red frigidaire fridge. Microwave and keurig. Everything seemed updated. The location was great near lots of food options and freeway. The grounds were well maintained. Staff was friendly. We previously stayed accross the street at BW the only thing they had that this place didnt was breakfast and a bathtub. Gave us a reason to go to Awful Annies. Thr shower was really nice. Large size. Good water pressure. Our room also had a little semi private patio.We will return.

We didn’t have breakfast at the motel, but were thrilled with the modernization of the facility while maintaining a look of the Lincoln Highway era of our country. We last stayed at Foothills some dozen years ago, also during Thanksgiving.My wife and I both had eyes wondering as we climbed the driveway. Open the door: WOW. The bathroom, WOW. Clean, fresh, quiet. Easy walk for dogs to a large field.A block from I-80, yet didn’t hear a truck. Good luck on your future. All the best from the Hickoks.

We have no criticisms for the facility. We weren’t expecting the Ritz. We got, I thought, a great value in our stay.

Everything from the customer service to the beds and pillows far exceeded my expectations. one of the best hotel experiences I've had to date. Friendly people pristine rooms and great value!! Didn't see a single guest without a smile on their face. Great location close to literally everything a person could want or need and minutes away from iconic historical landmarks including the forresthill bridge which is the tallest in the entire state . Even after reading the reviews, which are all great, this place was still better than I had even hoped. Definitely a hidden Northern California gem with all the charm and hospitality of a time long gone.

if I had to find something to complain about the only thing I can think of is that they were unable to control the weather and jumping into their beautiful 8ft deep swimming pool was akin to taking the polar plunge challenge.. still not complaining, even that was pretty fun!

Think Schitts Creek vibes but upgraded. It was cozy and the string lights outside give it a cute touch. The mini fridge has tons of space and the bathroom has lighting around the mirror. Beds were comfortable and blankets were soft. It was also quiet with a nice cool ac unit

I wish I would’ve specified a room with the outdoor patio facing the pool like the photos I had seen online. There isn’t flat counter space around the bathroom sink so everything rolls off. The housekeepers gotta lay off the pledge wood cleaner because the smell was overwhelming walking in and it didn’t go away

We weren't expecting much from a motel, especially since it is pretty close to the freeway. Instead the room was quiet, modern and clean. It's great being able to drive right up to the room door and also not having anyone above you. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The rooms have an espresso machine. Ours didn't work. We went to the desk and within 5 minutes we had a replacement. It's also easy to get around since it's right off the main highway.

this is quite possibly the best motel in the auburn area. Its clean, newly remodeled, ample parking, good price, plenty of amenities like a fridge, Keurig coffee maker, big working flatscreen tv {with a working remote}. The beds are comfortable, no torn or stained sheets. Add the fact that this is an independent motel run by very cool local people, and not some overpriced corporate brand is all the more reason to visit this hidden gem. Honestly I really couldnt ask for better place to stay.

no cons whatsoever.

This is a cute old motel that's been renovated in a fun, retro way. The beds are SUPER comfy, and it was very clean and quiet. Rooms have fridge and microwave. They have a discount agreement with a bowling place nearby for a meal, which we didn't take advantage of. The service was very nice - we had to stay at the last minute because Donner Pass was closed in a big storm. We booked at 9:30 PM and arrived at 10 PM. Tons of other people had the same idea, so the place was packed - but they helped everyone and were really nice and attentive. We'd return.

The rooms are small. That's the one slight challenge.

The manager was so awesome and helpful,,the room was perfect and so clean I thought it was upgraded but the people that clean are proud of the job they do and I love that! And Akidas is right across the street. The retro style is so nice to see it makes you smile!

I guess the ONLY thing I could say is there was no bathtub but the shower was very big so I got over that! This place is definitely a place we will be regular's love ❤️

The price for what we got was excellent. Three times less expensive than another hotel in the area we have used before. The heat/AC was excellent and we were very comfortable all night. The refrigerator was roomy and cold and had a freezer compartment (unlike many other places we've stayed). We loved the retro red appliances. The shower was nice, I wish mine at home looked like it. The morning desk clerk was super pleasant and friendly and gave us extra supplies when we asked. It was very quiet and clean. We have family in the area and will still here again.
