8/10 Very good

Friendly and clean

Centrally located, comfortable, friendly staff. My only complaint is the lack of counter space in the bathroom.

4/10 Fair

The guest check in staff was very friendly. But upon arrival and getting settled, in the room, we opened the mini fridge only to be hit in the face with the smell of rotten milk. The smell lingered and we reported it, but the staff didn’t know what to go and because it was a fully booked weekend we couldn’t be moved. I was traveling with 2 young children, so it added to my dissatisfaction. The beds did not have even a mattress pad protector so you are sleeping on a sheet right on top of the mattress which is unsanitary. I was disappointed based on reviews…

A gem in Auburn

Another great stay at the Foothills. I always get there late and I'm always greeted kindly and check in is easy. Since my last stay they added breakfast. A packaged pastry, banana and coffee of hot chocolate. It was nice bonus. The room is always clean, the bed is very comfortable and its quiet for a good night's sleep. Love the retro vibe and decor. The pool looks inviting, hoping I'll have time to enjoy it on my next stay. My wife and I have stayed at the Foothills five times now and always a great experience.

Just overnight, cute place. We prefer to have a chair in the room. Too bad they didn’t do that. Also, need to add a bath mat, had to use a towel when stepping out of the shower.

The room was cold. Heater ran all night and it was cold. Definitely not a winter destination. When I spoke with fronts desk about it, the reply was “ these new heaters are garbage “ . Not good.
