What guests think

At La Quinta by Wyndham Auburn, travelers consistently praise friendly, helpful staff and clean rooms, while noting convenient freeway access alongside recurring traffic noise, tight parking with some safety concerns, and noticeable wear with occasional maintenance issues.

Many guests highlight convenient access to the Muckleshoot Casino and White River Amphitheatre, but several describe the surrounding area as sketchy, with tight, limited parking and occasional reports of vehicle break-ins. Rooms range from large and comfortable to dated, with recurring in-room quirks like balky showers, running toilets, and sporadic AC issues; bed comfort varies from very soft to too firm. Facilities include a very small pool and hot tub—sometimes closed or less than pristine—and a modest gym. Breakfast earns frequent praise for variety and value, though a few found items lukewarm or the space crowded. Overall, expect friendly service and good value with some trade-offs in noise, upkeep, and neighborhood feel.

My stay was really very good. There were a few glitches, the hot pool was out of order the entire 10 days I stayed. I put in for a wake-up call the night b4 I was checking out but it did not happen. But overall my room was fine, the staff was wonderful, breakfasts were good…

Front desk girl was awesome! Very efficient, informative, friendly and genuine. Enjoyed use of pool and hot tub at 3am as there is no curfew for adults using it. Room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was good although eating area was rather small.

Between the hotel and the Dennys next door there were many homeless people asking for our food. Room needed a few repairs. Mostly touch up paint and bad water damage around the bathtub. All of the doors slam loud. Only noise we could hear. Room was clean and odor free. No bed bugs! Pool, hot tub and work out room were clean and open to adults all night. I did not bring my dogs but I love that this hotel is dog friendly. Great location and easy to navigate area if from out of town. I chose this hotel specifically because reviews told that they had great breakfast. I was not disappointed! I ate right before breakfast was ending. Hot fresh eggs and sausage, make your own waffles with all the toppings, english muffins, bagels, toast w jelly or cream cheese, cereal, yogurt and fruits. Coffee tasted fresh and good choice of juices. Will stay here again!

Pool is very small and shallow. It is stated that maximum capacity is 10 people. Yes it really is that small and although it says maximum depth is 3 1/2 feet. It was more like 3 feet with lower water levels. It is NOT a swim pool but more like a kiddy pool. The noise from the freeway and train tracks that run adjacent makes for very difficult sleeping. Impossible if you want fresh air in the room at night. Definitely bring ear plugs. There are a lot of little touches that could clean up the looks of this place like removing the moldy trim off floor next to tub or touch up paint. Or replace the picture that is missing from wall. Or use the right color of touch up paint. Or paint the closet because it has odors of a 30 year hotel in it. The good: sheets were clean and it’s a good location for freeway access

I don't really expect alot in a hotel room, but this one checked all the boxes. Lots of towels, spa, gym, a fantastic breakfast, and a very convenient location. I couldn't ask for more. I hope to stay again in october.my only complaint is the parking is very tight if you have a truck.

We checked into room 310 on Sunday, September 17, 2023. At approximately 12:00 AM we discovered bedbugs in the bed (on the pillow, under the sheet and on the headboard). We took a live bug to the front desk who offered us another room. Of course we vacated the premises as soon as we could. It was an awful experience and ended up having to bag all our stuff to be examined and cleaned to ensure we didn't bring any bugs into our home. We also had to discard our luggage out of fear of having bedbugs in the lining or elsewhere. A refund has been processed but wanted to give a heads up to other families to avoid this type of traumatic experience. I also requested to speak to the General Manager and called each day since returning home but have not received a callback. I ended up reaching out to Expedia as I booked this hotel through them. They will be contacting the hotel for follow up.

Rooms

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, but traffic and train noise affect many rooms on the highway side. Decor shows wear in places, and comfort varies with some beds very soft or hard and occasional in-room maintenance quirks (AC, fixtures).

This is an economical choice, conveniently located near the highway. while that makes it easy to get to anywhere in the area you might want to go, it also means traffic noise 24/7 if you're on the highway side of the hotel. The pool and hottub were clean and warm. The free breakfast had lots off protein options that were great. Water pressure in the shower was good. The mattresses were not super comfortable, the desk chair was broken and there were several signs of wear and tear including a missing handle on the dresser and a broken frame on the door leading to the mini fridge. Also, no safe in the room. All in all, I would recommend this hotel.

Starting off with the bad: The AC in my room was intermittent, I wanted more for noise since the place isn't sound dampened enough, but I just loaded up a noise generator on my phone. I had already unpacked and was getting into bed or I would have tried to change rooms. The spa/Jacuzzi needs filtering, the water is really dirty. The good: The place is clean inside and out. Jessica met me promptly at the desk and was awesome. She tried her best to make me comfortable and happy, even checking if a special suite would be available, but it wasn't. She answered a couple more questions and was prompt.in answering the door when I needed in later. I misplaced my key and she had me another in 45 seconds. Great service! My room was a basic room with everything I needed for a one night stay, and almost everything (except AC) worked fine for what little I used. The bed was comfortable enough, even for a heavy guy. Overall I would say it's a good place to stay when in town on business and I will be back if I return to the area.

Everything was great about the hotel except for the beds. They were very, very soft which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. It hurt my husband's back because it was so soft and he had to sit up in the chair to sleep. We had stayed at a La Quinta in Oregon and it had must better beds. They were firmer but had a nice pillow top.

Nice hotel but be sure to request an even number room as the odd numbers are on the freeway side. Freeway noise is muted by AC but still there. Also try to request a room not near the elevator as that noise is noticeable too. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Originally booked a room with two queen beds. Upon checking was told they over booked those rooms and would put me in a room with a king and a hid-abed. We discovered our room did not have a hid-abed when we entered room. We went back down to lobby and were given a different room that did have a king and hid-abed. At midnight we received a call from the lobby saying they wanted us to move into a different room as a double queen room had opened up. I told the staff member my two sons were sleeping and we would not be changing rooms at midnight. He again suggested I should change rooms now and questioned what time I would come to lobby in the morning if I wouldn’t move now. After hanging up I received an additional call from the lobby at 12:05 am but declined to answer. In the morning we were asked to pack our things and change rooms. What a mess.

We stayed here recently and had a mixed experience. Check-in was underwhelming, the front desk staff didn’t greet us with a smile or any warmth, which set a disappointing tone from the start. We paid extra to upgrade our room, but unfortunately ended up in a pet-friendly room that smelled strongly of dog odors, even though we didn’t have a pet with us. Parking was another challenge. The designated spots were extremely tight so much so that opening the car door without hitting the neighboring vehicle was nearly impossible. We had to park behind the hotel, but there was no entryway from the back, which made getting inside inconvenient. Also there was no ice on our floor, so we had to go up a floor to get some. The lobby coffee was awful. Overall, the stay was okay, but these issues definitely took away from the experience.

As a single woman travelling, the inside of the property was nice enough and I felt safe inside. I just didn't like the location of the hotel (very noisy from the highway) and the general feel outside of it, general lack of security. The property is not defined with fencing, so vehicles can drive through the back of the hotel from Denny's on one side to the gas station on the other side. There was no nice, well kept grass for the dogs. The so called dog run was under lock and key. When I asked the front desk person agent if it was safe to use it at night, she told me not to. The agent advised she was locking the front doors at 6.00pm because she was by herself. To me that speaks volumes about the hotel location. I would not stay her again, nor would I recommend it.

The staff at the front desk were friendly and very helpful in giving us directions to the Muckleshoot Casino, which was about 3 miles away. Our room was large with a king size bed. It was a bit on the soft side but we slept great. The breakfast, which was served in a room that adjoins the lobby. It was very good…waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon. They also offered yogurt, cereals, toast, and a few different bread choices along with assorted juices, coffee and tea. Next time we are needing to stay in Auburn we’ll be back.
