“The updated rooms made a strong impression, offering cleanliness, comfortable beds, and large-screen TVs that enhanced the stay; and the inclusion of healthy options at breakfast was a welcome addition. While its freeway-adjacent location and modest exterior might initially suggest otherwise, the convenient access to nearby attractions and updated interiors provide solid value. I think it's a practical choice for visitors to Auburn.”
