My second time staying at Foothills. Both visits have been outstanding. This trip I particularly enjoyed the King room. We sat out on the patio relaxing and reading. Though Foothills is close to a freeway the room itself was quiet. Bed comfy. Staff helpful. Retro vibe a bonus. What’s not to love.

When we first got to our room there was a strong smell of cigarettes. Fortunately the staff was able to move us into another room and all was well. Room was clean and compact, and the bed was very comfortable.

The motel was originally built in the 70's and has that nostalgic look and feel about it - but don't let that fool you. The interior appointments have been completely modernized and updated. The bathroom is totally modern, the bed and pillow were some of the best I've ever slept on, and the staff were super friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here in the future and highly recommend it to anyone who might be looking for something different from what the corporate world has to offer in big box reservations.

Foothill is 5 mins drive away from town of Auburn and it is right beside the highway. Grocery store, Starbucks, gas station, and restaurants are within walking distance. Location is very convenient.

A very special little place I will always return. It's a place you always wish to come back to. Very unique tucked away little retreat surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Auburn.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The guest check in staff was very friendly. But upon arrival and getting settled, in the room, we opened the mini fridge only to be hit in the face with the smell of rotten milk. The smell lingered and we reported it, but the staff didn’t know what to go and because it was a fully booked weekend we couldn’t be moved. I was traveling with 2 young children, so it added to my dissatisfaction. The beds did not have even a mattress pad protector so you are sleeping on a sheet right on top of the mattress which is unsanitary. I was disappointed based on reviews…

A gem in Auburn

Another great stay at the Foothills. I always get there late and I'm always greeted kindly and check in is easy. Since my last stay they added breakfast. A packaged pastry, banana and coffee of hot chocolate. It was nice bonus. The room is always clean, the bed is very comfortable and its quiet for a good night's sleep. Love the retro vibe and decor. The pool looks inviting, hoping I'll have time to enjoy it on my next stay. My wife and I have stayed at the Foothills five times now and always a great experience.
