"We stayed at the yurt and it was beautiful the environment is amazing lots of spots to sit and look at the water, the doors to the yurt however did not close or lock fully so anyone could open it at anytime.the Continental breakfast was a bit more of Continental snacks nothing that I would really consider a full breakfast but overall I really liked my stay.

The Foothills Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The Motel has a very cute retro vibe! There were 4 of us staying in the room and although it was smaller than our usual stays, we would definitely come back. The location was convenient. The only negative that I would say it when we got into our room, it was very musty coming from the AC (we believe). We opened up the windows and it helped. But I’m still giving it a 5 star review!! Until next time."

Red Lion Inn & Suites Auburn

8/10 Good

"This hotel, for the price was excellent. Bambi was great and assisted me in getting a room in by hotel that was more convenient to my wife and me. However it needs some cosmetic TLC. The tub base was cracked and patched. The room walls needed touch up paint due to knicks. The hot water was excellent on pressure and temperature. The wash basin had sealant that was overused and you could see it. The bed and sheets were excellent. The room had USB and 110 power outlets. Fantastic😁😁😁😁 Refrigerator was great. Microwave was great. Coffee maker was great. Room was very quiet😁😁😁😁 Parking was great. Pool and hot tub was great. I asked staff for extra towels and the provided them😁😁😁 We did not try the breakfast. It’s a 4 stars for me. Overall I recommend the hotel for an overnight or lengthy stay."

National Exchange Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful restoration of a historic western hotel. Great staff. Rooms are small but nice. Great location in town."
