The Foothill Motel in Auburn is an absolute gem. Architecturally, it’s a flawless tribute to the 1960s — the lines, colors, and signage capture that nostalgic mid-century style perfectly — yet every amenity feels brand new and designed for 2025 living. The rooms are spotless and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts, but they still keep the vintage character alive through clever design touches and décor. The staff are wonderfully attentive and clearly take pride in every detail, both inside and out. The motel’s pet-friendly policy makes it a great stop for travelers with furry companions, and the cleanliness throughout is outstanding. Outside, the patio and pool area sit perched on a gentle hill, offering a relaxing spot to unwind after a day of driving. The location is ideal — walkable to several local restaurants and cafes. For anyone traveling through Auburn, the Foothill Motel is an unexpected five-star experience that blends classic style with today’s comfort and hospitality.

We love this place and come here at times for a night away. The way this hotel was redone, updated but still has those 70’s and 60’s vibes, I feel like I’ve stepped back in time every time we visit.

Felt very safe , we race moto and this was an awesome place to stay. The guy that checked us in was very helpful.

My two boys and I had a great time! The gentleman who checked us in was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. We can’t wait to go back.

Entire property is awesome. Not a single complaint.

Parking is great, the location of the motel is close to cafes, and the price is right. My partner and I were delighted by snacks and warm drinks in the morning! We shall return!

Everything was fine until Wed night around 9,:30 when a bunch of kids were screaming and laughing outside my area. I was almost tempted to leave as didn't know if it would go on all night. Fortunately it stopped . Not sure I would take a chance on booking a room there again.

Loved the atmosphere, will be staying here again.

Pros: Great check-in (we arrived around 9p, so not busy, but very pleasant interaction); room was completely redone - modern bathroom, laminate floors and a retro feel to the living space, which was super fun compared to the standard cookie-cutter rooms available nearby; comfortable lounge chairs placed in clusters around the property and lights along the building perimeters complimented the retro feel. For us, the lights created a nearly magical arrival, especially for seasoned road-trippers. Cons: Not a lot of privacy between bathroom & sleeping area, as there is a pocket door used to maximize space (at leadt in our room). This was a very small con for us since we do a lot of travel as a family, but thought I would mention for other travelers. Overall: Would absolutely stay again and will recommend to anyone traveling in the area.

It was a great hotel for the price.

Great value! This is the 2nd time we've stayed here & we love it!

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Easy access right off the highway.

Clean room, no bugs, friendly and professional staff. I would recommend this place.

This is an iconic motel built in 1959 and restored and upgraded with great love and care. The staff was delightful and friendly, especially Glen. Very nice retro motif touches and super comfy.

Parking is safe with good lighting

Extremely clean room & comfortable king bed. Nice wide parking space for my car, so that no one could open their doors into my doors or fenders.

Friendly staff. Clean Room. Quiet and safe. Parking near your room.

Staff was great, room very new and clean, and grounds manicures. Location very convenient. Check in time was limited from 3pm - 10pm. We had plans for the day during those hours. However, the manager on duty was very helpful in helping us get a room before 3pm. We really appreciated his help to accomodate our need.

Great beds. Clean rooms. Very comfortable

Pet-friendly, clean and cute property and rooms.

Very satisfied with Foothills Motel! The room was very clean and it was equipped with all the essentials, a Keurig, a small fridge and microwave. Definitely recommend!

This place is adorable, clean, and friendly. We loved it and would 100% go back.

Very nice, well maintained place. Rooms were very clean. I love the sliding back door a patio area. The weather was fabulous so we were able to leave the back door open. Would definitely stay again.
