The manager was the most accommodating person you could ever encounter. We were first given a room that had an ice machine right at the front door. We requested a new room and with no fuss at all, were given another one. Rooms were incredibly clean, and the property so well maintained. We will be staying there again the next trip to Auburn.

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.

Good for a short stay.

For a short stay, the accommodations were great. But the walls were too thin. Our neighbors checked in after midnight and their conversing was too loud for us. Having light sleepers was in conflict with the loud talking. And having to get up in 5 hours was an effort in lost sleep even if the beds were comfy.

The room and property were very clean. The staff was friendly. The room was very tiny. The only space large enough to set up my babies playpen was where the door opened. I also wished there was a bath tub instead of just a shower but that's just a personal preference.

Fantastic! Beautiful, vintage style motel in impeccable shape. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is super friendly, and the pool was clean, private and pleasant. Centrally located, it’s simply the BEST hotel in Auburn. You made our stay (we were in town for a funeral ) quite pleasant.
