I was originally staying in Auburn, but my hotel was overbooked, and there were no rooms available. I found out at 5 p.m. on a Friday, during a football weekend, so basically, there was nothing available in Auburn. A quick search on my phone showed this place had rooms, so I booked a room without reading any reviews (bad idea).
The room was as others described, old, and had a weird, musty smell. However, it was relatively clean (all things considered). Then there was my card reader lock on the door. After returning from the football game at 2:00 a.m., it wouldn’t read the key. I guessed the batteries were dead, so the desk clerk had to call in someone to unlock my door. That took about 20-30 minutes, but still, it shouldn’t have happened.
The property itself was terrifying. I was terrified of what was behind the hotel in the other building. That area was as sketchy as an area could be. In short, if you’re on a budget, need a large room, and don’t mind a 45-minute drive to Auburn, this place might work for you. But if you have the time and money, there are much better choices a few miles away.
