Nice motel. Clean and updated, safe area. Comfortable beds. We needed a quiet place to stay after a concert in Lincoln before we continued to our next stop, a wedding in Tahoe. Foothill fit the bill. Close to the freeway but quiet. Perfect place and reasonably priced.

The amenities were really good. Each room has a microwave, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. The rooms are on the smaller side but uses every inch really efficiently. Freeway access couldn't be easier. Breakfast spots and coffee nearby. I would stay here again.

Hidden treasure for a stop driving west. It's the perfect place to regroup, reorganize and even take a dip in the pool if you want. Michael and all the staff are ready and willing to help. Shhhhhh it's a secret.

The room and property were very clean. The staff was friendly. The room was very tiny. The only space large enough to set up my babies playpen was where the door opened. I also wished there was a bath tub instead of just a shower but that's just a personal preference.

Fantastic! Beautiful, vintage style motel in impeccable shape. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is super friendly, and the pool was clean, private and pleasant. Centrally located, it’s simply the BEST hotel in Auburn. You made our stay (we were in town for a funeral ) quite pleasant.
