Some people gave this run down, shoddily repainted, and super-quickly "cleaned" property a 10/10?! Even if staying here was free and the rooms were actually clean and the sheets weren't stained, this would be an uncomfortable, noisy, and aesthetically unpleasant experience at best. At best.
This is a two-story road-side (busy road) motel with no one in the office until you ring the bell and then it looks like the staff member is behind bullet-proof glass. That impression is heightened when he asks you for a $20 deposit in cash for the room key card!
The incredibly stained hallway carpet, literally held together by duct tape, gives you a sense of what's to come when you enter the room. You breathe in heavy incense and see paint spattering all over the floor, paint roller marks all over the towel bar and adjacent walls to the paint, missing lightbulbs, outlets that don't cover the junction box hole, dried urine on the floor by toilet, and copious stains and cigarette holes in the comforter and sheets.
I stayed my second night in Enumclaw at the Guest Inn which was THE SAME PRICE and well above average. Maybe there are better places in Auburn too. The two nights prior were in an RV and that was MUCH better than this place.
They did have a microwave and mini fridge and the shower worked and the door locked.
Street noise is very loud despite double-paned windows. A/C has very basic controls. Don't think about just keeping the fan on for white noise; can't be done.
