What guests think

Across the reviews, Economy Inn Auburn comes through as an older, budget motel with highly mixed feedback: some guests report clean, quiet, affordable stays, while others cite worn rooms, maintenance issues, patchy Wi-Fi, noise, and very limited amenities.

Positives include friendly, accommodating front-desk service at times, early check-in for some, and convenient freeway access with easy parking. Common issues are inconsistent cleanliness with occasional pests and strong odors, and rooms that feel dated with broken fixtures or weak AC, plus a very minimal breakfast. Expect a no-frills stopover with widely variable quality.

They didn't have the propercroom avilable. It was booked as 2 queens, I got a room with one. Had to remove a mirror from the wall because drapes wer too small allowing light to reflect from the mirror into my eyes on the bed. There was a thorofare below my room for Lowes', lots of traffic very noisy. Requested room o 1st floor since I use a cane and they have no elevator, I had to climb 15 staitmrs to the second floor. They did move me to another 2nd floor room which was better but still had to navigate stairs. I will never go back to that hotel ever again. The bulk of the people really didn't seem to care. Wanted to take a bath but the rub stopper was broke and they didn't have a temporary stopper, and that was in the second room. This hotel doesn't even deserve 1 star. It is a no star take your money we don't care hotel. Will never go back.

The room was good, they had no coffee machine in the room, however, they did have it downstairs. Price seemed OK, staff was friendly. The carpet was old. The location was good, no elevator for second floor, but all in all it was pretty good.

I really appreciated the air conditioning, price is very affordable and fair. I liked that you need your room card to enter the building after 10pm. There’s a mini fridge and microwave in your room. Staff had a great customer service. Room was cleaned and pretty stocked up with towels/toilet paper. Definitely would come back again!

Worst hotel ever so dirty we ended up leaving and not even staying the night the bed was not changed from the previous reservation and it was very obvious due to stains and private part hair I killed 2 bugs on bathroom counter as I was washing my face MIGHT BE A CHEAPER HOTEL YES BUT NOT OK AT ALL NOT RECOMMEND SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE SO YOU CAN FEEL SAFE AND SLEEP WITHOUT CATCHING SOMETHING OR TAKING SOMETHING HOME. I Lots more to say but no time.

The room was extremely clean, beds were comfortable. We showed up 2hrs early & the front desk allowed us to check in early which was phenomenal. Easy to get to. A few fast food options close by, with Arby’s literally right next door… when it comes to breakfast it’s literally just oatmeal packets and bread lol. But I definitely would stay here again!

For the price, it was totally unsuitable. There was toilet paper stuck on the vent ceiling in the bathroom, the shower curtain was attached with 3 separate kinds of hangers, one of those kinds was probably the original which was very yellow and brittle (some broken) with age. The bathroom countertop was a older, fimica type surface that was no longer glued bown, the edge of which was wood and was water damaged with age. The desk chair was extreemely worn and could pass for being recovered from the trash. Breakfast consisted of toast, instant oatmeal, coffee and a hostess/little debbie type muffin. More a snack than a breakfast. Not that they were a problem for me,but the 'rules' posted about the rooms seemed overbearing, controlling and draconian. Hotel was not 'comfortable'. Was barely 'adaquate'.

The desk and dresser had paint peeling off of it where someone had painted over the wood which made them both sticky, terrible pillows, and the “black out” curtains had so many worn out spots in it that I woke up at 348 in the morning and thought the sun was out already.

me and two teen daughters arrived after midnight after the Morgan Wallen Concert in Seattle. the door was locked with a sign reading to use key card at other entrance or to check in ring bell. after ringing bell and waiting minutes to have someone come to the front desk the guy just pointed at the door telling me to use the other entrance after I yelled through the closed door that I needed to check in he again pointed at the door to a different sign reading no vacancy, having to yell through the door again since he still had not come around the check in desk I told him that we had a reservation, the guy disappeared behind the wall for about 5 mins only to return and do all his computer check in while we were still outside in a shady neighborhood with a homeless man wondering the parking lot. He finally let us inside after appox a total of ten mins just to berate us about having 3 people instead of 2. will not stay here again

The hotel refused to honor my reservation. They claimed not to have it, even though I had a confirmation number and it was already paid. I was inroute when I found out about this and had to turn around and drive over 2 hours to get back home. This experience was so mentally, emotionally and financially overwhelming.

It took a long time to check in but the staff was very friendly and accommodating while figuring out the reservation problem. The only issue was the staff entering our room at 3:00 AM because they thought our water was turned on in the bathroom and was leaking in the room below us? We never even used the shower but it was very alarming that staff would enter our room in the middle of the night. I would not stay again because of that.

The property is old and run down. They need to stop lying to people that they provide breakfast. Breakfast was two slices off dry bread, or one dry biscuit, or a sachet of quick oatmeal. No fruits, eggs, sausage or other protein was served. The fitted sheet on one of the bed was soiled so we had to sleep on one bed. This is the worse place I've ever stayed.
