We ended up canceling the reservation because the room was disgustingly dirty. Curtains were broken and the bathroom looked like a crime scene. To top it off, we watched a drug deal going down in the parking lot, in front of the office.

Some people gave this run down, shoddily repainted, and super-quickly \"cleaned\" property a 10/10?! Even if staying here was free and the rooms were actually clean and the sheets weren't stained, this would be an uncomfortable, noisy, and aesthetically unpleasant experience at best. At best.

This is a two-story road-side (busy road) motel with no one in the office until you ring the bell and then it looks like the staff member is behind bullet-proof glass. That impression is heightened when he asks you for a $20 deposit in cash for the room key card!

The incredibly stained hallway carpet, literally held together by duct tape, gives you a sense of what's to come when you enter the room. You breathe in heavy incense and see paint spattering all over the floor, paint roller marks all over the towel bar and adjacent walls to the paint, missing lightbulbs, outlets that don't cover the junction box hole, dried urine on the floor by toilet, and copious stains and cigarette holes in the comforter and sheets.

I stayed my second night in Enumclaw at the Guest Inn which was THE SAME PRICE and well above average. Maybe there are better places in Auburn too. The two nights prior were in an RV and that was MUCH better than this place.

They did have a microwave and mini fridge and the shower worked and the door locked.

Street noise is very loud despite double-paned windows. A/C has very basic controls. Don't think about just keeping the fan on for white noise; can't be done.

Me and my family booked this room for convenience and price. Once we checked in the room is very shabby but overall had no bugs and was very roomy. The tv didn’t work at all and when we tried to get helped we was told “oh well”, we asked for a different room and was told no.
It wasn’t until I contacted hotel.com customer service they reached out to property and then we was offered a new room. Me and my family refused and jugs wanted to leave the property after sleeping in a hot dark room overnight. We was given a refund for the remaining stay

How does Expedia even show this place or let people make reservations thru them.

This was honestly the worst hotel that I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was rude when we checked in when we got into our room at 5 PM it was disgusting… the bed was stained and not made. There was gum on the nightstand. The manager yelled at me when I ask for another room or to have the room cleaned and I asked for a $20 cash deposit for the key card for the room. The whole area was scary and unsafe. I was overcharged. I would never stay here again.

While traveling & before arriving at the motel, the motel called us to inform me that they had no vacancy! They did not honor our 'reservation'. Then about an hour they later called again to say that they were holding a room for us. Expedia called us to make sure we were okay having a King bed instead of a Queen. We were fine with that.
When we checked in, the first question from the desk was \"were you wanting to cancel?\" :(

The room smelled of mothballs or some other chemical. The floor was sticky.
Our door's deadbolt would not turn to secure the door.
The pillows looked stained or dirty. They had not put sheets on the bed!
We were given a Double bed after reserving a Queen & being promised a King. Those were the final straws & we did not stay there.

Had to wait for 15 minutes till the clerk finally came out, who was wrapped in a blanket, the room was, curtain had holes on it and was not hung right at all, the heater had missing buttons for control, the bedding was from the 60s, didn't fit the beds, we had one towel and one wash rag for 2 people, no garbage can, no phone to call front desk, we slept on top of blankets cause were not sure if they were clean. Also had someone come in in the middle of the night and said oh sorry wrong room, keys must be the same for all rooms, people outside were tweekers, going through their truck throughout the night.

Room wasn't ready when I checked in, in the evening. Had to wait while they put a shower curtain and blinds and install the toilet seat. No soap, no trashcan, stained/dirty towels. Someone was working on a truck in the parking lot with tools and parts everywhere. And someone, who they claim to not know, came into my room while I was sleeping and was in the room for a minute and a half before I woke up to find them standing at the end of the bed and left quickly once I woke up. I'm going to file a police report. They offered me half my payment back. I'm never going back there again.

Needs serious cleaning and regular maintenance

Floor was dirty, from lack of mopping. Walls needed cleaned. Mattresses were thin on folding frame and was like a hidabed mattress/frame. It’s taken 3 days for my back to recover. Missing trim on walls. Toilet was the height used for kindergartners at a school. Shower had duct tape over holes and cracks in tub. Smoke alarm was beeping and hubby had to fix, by putting new battery in. Lack of hdmi cord for tv. Dog area was filled with a massive amount of dog feces (we picked up ours).

Staff was very nice, sheets were clean. Once we got the cord, tv was great.

Nobody was there. Called an Uber and stayed elsewhere. Called the desk first thing in the morning and manager argued about the bugs and wouldn't give me a refund. Horrible property and management would not recommend to anyone.

Not Recommended

Initially, they misunderstood and booked us in as another guest, who had paid $20 more for their room. Gave us cash for the difference. Room had at least 7 flies, which I killed most of them before bed using a magazine they offered from their check-in lobby as they did not have a fly swatter that I would borrow. The bedspread and sheets had visible loose dirt (and hair on the sheets). We requested new sheets and were brought clean sheets and a blanket for us to put on ourselves. I then went to the office to get replacement pillow cases. There is no ice machine. They did accommodate our request for a first-floor room.

Walls are thin so you can hear the loud neighbors and the highway is the very noisy at night. The sink didn't drain, the room was stuffy and smelled of decades of smoking (at least the A/C unit worked to clear that out), the outer hallways were littered with trash (cigarette butts and cans), and the stair well smelled of urine. But the price was cheap, so you get what you pay for.

I paid for a room with a King bed, as I am tall and the option was available. When I arrived, I was told that the motel did not actually have any rooms with King beds (literally lied to Expedia about having them at all, not just for that night). Instead, they just have a guest suite with a larger, second room included. It was too late in the evening to argue this and I had a weekend of work ahead of me, so I was forced to accept this answer and take the room. When I got into the room, the bedding and bedsheets were stained and gross - I ended up taking the pillows and sleeping on the smaller couch in the secondary room. On night #2, there were bugs in the bedding, so I again slept on the couch. I was too busy with working to deal with changing hotels mid-stay. There was also no WiFi available to me in the hotel room as advertised - because the room was too far away from the single WiFi router they had set up in the office (my room is on the opposite end of the motel).

I had paid before i saw the stairs and their policy is no refunds after payment so i couldnt just find another motel. They were polite through the entire process and finally put me in a large room that appeared to be in the process of being remodeled.
Being right along a busy road it was a little noisy with the usual roadside garbage (occasional paper, cans etc.) And people walking by late at night. .most of the rooms were located in the back of the building so wouldnt have noticed.
