Elmwood Motel

Nothing!

Both rooms on the first floor were straight out of a horror movie. They then offered a renovated room on the 2nd floor. Not as horrifying as the first floor but still not good. Found a tiny dead bug on the sheet and nope! We were out of there. Did not stay the night. The manager said he would confirm the refund but still no response to booking.com customer service. So I am forced to dispute it through my credit card company. Not happy that booking.com could take payment but not issue a refund. Especially after a month long road trip where I was a loyal customer to booking.com for my nightly hotel needs.

Not a luxury place, but best you can get for the price. Room had what you need to spend the night- comfy bed with night stands, usb ports on the outlet next to the bed, a desk, nice bathroom and sink area and all of the usual toiletries. I brought an eye cover (lights are pretty bright outside, the blinds/shutters keep most of it out) and ear plugs (it is in a busy area). Everything was clean and visually pleasing. The guy at the front desk was friendly too.

It comes with the great location, but it is a bit bright and noisy. Come prepared and you won't have an issue.

Standard motel, so as expected, but bed super comfy and staff really helpful. Great location.

A little bit scruffy in places, some pen scribbled on the wall etc, but as expected for a motel and the things that mattered, sheets, towels etc. were very clean.

Nice little spot to spend the night. No frills, a bit of street noise and my check-in seemed to confuse the staff almost to the point of no return. At the same time, just a block away from the cute and lively uptown area with restaurants, shops, bars and the Gold Rush Museum.

Staff could not figure out how to use the computer during my check-in...to the point that I was very frustrated. Place is no frills...tv, beds, a small fridge and an uncomfortable chair are about it for comfort.

Clean rooms.

Hotel located at a major, very noisy intersection. TV was eradicate. Walls need painting in bathroom.

Fantastic location with the nicest staff I’ve interacted with in years, so nice and welcoming to their motel!

That it was close to downtown.

It is very noisy for starters. The covered parking stalls are very cramped. The first room we checked into had the two bedroom option. The private bedroom was very hot and stuff with no hvac system to allow to cool the air. No ceiling fan either. That room needs some freshening up with some paint and a better mattress and at least a fan and some lighting. The main area had a lot wrong. First the cleanliness. It smelt like pizza. The refrigerator dial was broken so we couldn’t figure out how to get it to cool down. There were 2 TV remotes without instructions or a printed TV GUIDE of channels. The mattress was paper thin. When we went to contact the front office about all our concerns and needs, the phone was covered in what looks like pizza vomit on the receiver. Walked down to the main office, and explained everything and after the second time of needing their assistance, we were offered a different room. Which was so much better. It had been cleaned, have been updated and way better mattress and fridge was working and had the control dial display. Also one working remote. The staff were very kind and hospitable. The second room was still very noisy. It woke us up frequently from all of the traffic, people. The street outside of the hotel connects to the freeway and needs work so it wouldn’t be so loud. Semi’s drive thru there frequently and all vehicles hit sound metal and it makes very loud noises with each passing. Also no vending machines, coffee maker or filtered water stations for drinking. Although there is a convenience store across the street.

This was a last minute booking during a road trip, we needed a place to stay for the night. The location is excellent and there was plenty of parking on site. Don't be discouraged by the outside appearance; our room was very clean and the heater had been turned out ahead of time so we entered into a cozy, warm room. The mattresses are comfortable, and there were lots of towels for all of us.z we didn't need the microwave or mini-fridge, but it was nice to have them in the room. in the morning we had access to the complimentary keurig coffee in the office. we were relieved it was a non-smoking facility

note that this is listed on booking.com as a "double room with two queen beds" but it is actually a double room with two double beds.

Staff was nice.

It was in a noisy area. Visitors or residents do not respect your privacy. We got woken up one night because someone was asking for a lighter you can hear everything through the walls. The rooms were dirty, the fridge was dirty. The sheets were dirty. I would not come back to this place.

I like the newly renovated space

Water was warm not hot , Heater/ room was a bit dusty

Easy to find. staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking was under a carport so didn’t have to stand in the rain.

Carrying the luggage up the stairs.

Staff was super nice room was remodeled and rather nice parking in car port = parking partially in shade location was walkable to downtown and old town

STREET NOISE of motorcycles revving, etc

It was close to downtown Auburn.

it was close to the freeway, food places, grocery stores and gas stations.

very dirty. sheets smelled pretty bad. lots of homeless everywhere. very loud

easy to get off the highway. Close to shopping and trails

Room smelled of cigarettes, but has been recently updated.

clean, comfortable.

Road noise was a real detractor. Loud cars all night. Could hear snoring from room next door, could have better sound proofing.
