Top Auburn State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Auburn, CA

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Motel is in decent location, easy freeway access. My only concern is upon checking out, there was no one at the desk. Had to leave room key card just laying there. Would be nice to have a secure box to drop key card into when nobody is at the desk."

The Foothills Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Large room with a view of the pool. While the pool was unheated, the kids loved it. It was very warm outside, so the water temperature wasn't an issue. The rooms are very retro, down to the refrigerator and ice chest. We'd definitely stay there again."

Best Western Golden Key

8/10 Good

"Toilet got clogged so that was main issue."

Hotel Vista Sierra

8/10 Good

"N/A"

Red Lion Inn & Suites Auburn

8/10 Good

"Pros: Property has everything you need for a short stay. The parking lot and location is safe and easy to access. The staff is very nice at check in and check out. There is a continental breakfast included at no extra charge. The rooms are spacious. The bed is very comfortable. There is a fridge, blow-dryer, ironing board, and the shower water is warm and good water pressure. Next to the hotel is conveniently a taco bell and Starbucks. The location is just a short uber ride to downtown. Cons: This is an older property, the rooms could use a little extra cleaning and minor updating but to be expected for its age. Reason for staying: We like to day drink and hop around the shops and downtown/old town and found this is a comfortable hotel to stay and the location is very convenient."

American River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully maintained property. Spacious air conditioned room. Very comfortable bed, bedding & pillows. Breakfast was delicious with fresh seasonal fruit, omelette one morning & French toast the next. Fresh orange juice & lots of hot coffee. Would definitely recommend & hope to return."

Colfax Getaway w/ Hot Tub, Mountain Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay and beautiful setting Pool was refreshing. We enjoyed our stay !"

Bay Area Escape on 5 Acres: Pet Friendly, Views

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing! The only issue we had was with the door pad code. The one I received in my information e-mail was incorrect, but Lynette was quick to answer my phone call and tell me the correct code. In all honesty the correct code made more sense and I should have questioned the e-mail as soon as I got it. Before we left, we were already thinking of wht other events in the area may be coming up that we could stay there again."
