Great hotel
Great hotel. Had not stayed in a motel since forever and was reminded of how nice it is to unload when the car is in front of the room. All single level and they welcome dogs

Lovely and Comfy
Everyone we spoke to that worked there was so friendly and hospitable, they really made our trip so comfortable and memorable. The decor is very well done and well put-together. These guys are great! The patio was so nice and although it’s open, it still feels private.

Super cute retro motel
Foothills Motel is a bit like a Wes Anderson version of a motel, with really cute retro styling. There’s a small pool, complete with oversized floaties. My room had a retro looking (but thoroughly modern functioning) fridge, microwave, and coffee machine. The bed is very comfy with a soft mattress. The staff for checkin was nice and answered questions about the area.

I grew up in Auburn and remember this motel as being a relic to the past. It has recently been completely updated, and it is the cleanest motel I have stayed at in years. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and decorated with a 60s flair, which I enjoyed. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The room even had a sliding glass door leading to a private covered patio with a view of the pool. We only stayed one night, but we will definitely be back!!

Great stay! Can’t wait to come back.
Great motel! Very convenient to get to, not far from old town. I’d definitely stay here again. Rooms are nice, of course a little smaller as it’s a motel. Glad they have a fridge and coffee maker. Bathroom was great! Beds were great. Super clean. Pool was a nice plus I didn’t even know about! Only reason I took a star off was because the bangs I would hear at night sounded like they came from the roof at some point haha. Freaked me out, but it was a good stay, I’d rate 4.5 out of 5.

What a find!
A last minute reservation brought us to this wonderful place. So pleased by the front desk friendliness and service, and the nicely decorated and comfortable rooms. Appreciated the dog-friendly aspect also. Keeping a mental reminder of this place for our next travels.
