Great place for a reasonable price. The room was clean, comfortable, and (surprisingly, because of the highway) very quiet. There's a bowling alley on the property that has a great little bar and grill attached and a Mexican restaurant next door. I'm not sure if it is in operation, but there is also a breakfast and lunch place next to that. The motel has a pool that I did not use, but it looked inviting. Overall, if you don't want to spend a fortune, you can't miss with this place.

I liked the Sixties retro vibe of the Ranch style Motel. Now all clean and updated inside. Only outside sign of the 21st Century are the solar panels neatly placed on the back building. Property is on a hill overlooks surrounding Sierra Foothills, though the freeway can be heard when outside on the pleasant covered porch. Walked 300 yards down to adjacent bowling alley which has a bar and good pizza. I would definitely return if I am in the area.

Extremely clean . Love the retro look. Very well maintained. The bowling alley was fun just wish it was not up/down a hill to walk. Bad hip - but very drivable and fun atmosphere. My only suggestion is leave more towels for rooms with double beds.. obviously more than one person may need towels. I would recommend this hotel especially for a fun staycation.

They called it Retro. I'm not sure what they were going for. I had a Standard Double Room. The room was clean, and had a refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker. But it did not have a comfortable chair -- in fact, no chair at all -- to sit in to watch TV or read. When I talked to the Manager, he brought a folding beach chair and pushed the beds apart to make room. And it did not have any rug, which would have been nice. And hardly any horizontal surfaces to put things on. Lots of drawers, though. I think the Deluxe King rooms at least have chairs outside, based on the photos. The pool looked nice. I didn't know about the game room (?) or little coffee shop (?) that you see in the photos. They do have several restaurants within walking distance. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 -- just a little lacking in creature comforts.

What a pleasant surprise! We had a group of 8 golfers and we were looking for somewhere near Auburn for a golf tournament and extra rounds that had good reviews and wasn’t ridiculously priced and this place was great. Rooms were renovated, clean and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, fridge, microwave, coffee maker and cute retro feel. The Fire pits and Adirondack chairs were great for after golf and dinner to hang out and have a beer/cocktail and relax. Parking right in front of your room so we didn’t have to lug our clubs up to the rooms. Rooms aren’t huge but they were great for the price. We plan to stay there again next year.

Such a fun stay at The Foothills Motel in Auburn! The room was clean, cozy, and newly renovated, and you can really feel the care and passion the owner has for this place. The decor and overall vibe totally took me back to the 1950s in the best way.

I loved that it’s pet-friendly, and I am already planning to bring my dogs next time. A small dog run or off-leash area would be an awesome addition. One small note, we only had two towels in the bathroom, and a couple more would have been nice, but it definitely did not change my experience or opinion of this great little motel.

The fire pits are such a cool touch! It was raining during our stay, so I did not even ask about using them, but I am really excited to try them next time. This is a gem that I want to keep a secret from the world because I know once word gets out about how great it is, it might be hard to get a room! I am very thankful for such a cozy, welcoming stay and cannot wait to come back again!

The Foothill Motel in Auburn is an absolute gem. Architecturally, it’s a flawless tribute to the 1960s — the lines, colors, and signage capture that nostalgic mid-century style perfectly — yet every amenity feels brand new and designed for 2025 living. The rooms are spotless and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, but they still keep the vintage character alive through clever design touches and décor.

The staff are wonderfully attentive and clearly take pride in every detail, both inside and out. The motel’s pet-friendly policy makes it a great stop for travelers with furry companions, and the cleanliness throughout is outstanding.

Outside, the patio and pool area sit perched on a gentle hill, offering a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of driving. The location is ideal — walkable to several local restaurants and cafes.

For anyone traveling through Auburn, the Foothill Motel is an unexpected five-star experience that blends classic style with today’s comfort and hospitality.

Pros: Great check-in (we arrived around 9p, so not busy, but very pleasant interaction); room was completely redone - modern bathroom, laminate floors and a retro feel to the living space, which was super fun compared to the standard cookie-cutter rooms available nearby; comfortable lounge chairs placed in clusters around the property and lights along the building perimeters complimented the retro feel. For us, the lights created a nearly magical arrival, especially for seasoned road-trippers.

Cons: Not a lot of privacy between bathroom & sleeping area, as there is a pocket door used to maximize space (at leadt in our room). This was a very small con for us since we do a lot of travel as a family, but thought I would mention for other travelers.

Overall: Would absolutely stay again and will recommend to anyone traveling in the area.

Extremely clean room & comfortable king bed. Nice wide parking space for my car, so that no one could open their doors into my doors or fenders.

Staff was great, room very new and clean, and grounds manicures. Location very convenient.
Check in time was limited from 3pm - 10pm. We had plans for the day during those hours. However, the manager on duty was very helpful in helping us get a room before 3pm. We really appreciated his help to accomodate our need.

Great Remodel

Very clean and great remodel! Perfect stopover for visiting friends up north. You can tell that they really did a thoughtful remodel: fresh paint and simple touches. Pool and bowling alley are added benefits. You get 10% off the bowling alley, food and drinks.
