The motel is wonderfully kept up inside and outside. rooms are of older decor but clean and comfy. Would recommend this motel to anyone who is coming through auburn. Rooms can be a little chilly or even a little warm depending on where you are. Office staff will help you to the best of thier ability. The only problem we... more

We had been trying to find a room since Reno but all the chains were booked. We decided to try this place really as a last resort (at 1AM) since with these older places, you just never know what you're going to get. The desk clerk was friendly and quick. We requested non-smoking and received an extremely clean room that... more

After seeing the retro signs for the Foothills Motel along Hwy. 80 we decided to give it a try and are glad we did. From the friendly front desk clerk who looked forward to the latest installment of "Bring It On" later that night to the chenille bedspread and the wacky Southwest style pictures hanging on the walls, the place... more

The motel is very outdated, the pillow case was not changed and it still had hair from the previous guest. Also, we were charged for a "missing bath towel" that we never saw. The hotel manager said that according to the housekeeping reports there was evidence that a towel was missing. I wonder if the unchanged dirty pillow case was... more

Stayed on a Friday night when we couldn't find a reasonably priced room in Grass Valley or Nevada City. We used the outside spa, visited the bowling alley (but didn't use the coupon), enjoyed the travel literature, maps & weather report. We stayed in one of the 100's rooms, which were upgraded with wi-fi, yet still retained old fashioned, but... more

After riding all day on our bikes..we were searching for a campground. Nothing for miles. So, we came upon the FOOTHILLS motel in Auburn. What a great place. The rooms were all very, very clean with up to date decor. The thing I like best was right outside your room was your parking space with each space marked with your... more

Hated it!!

Auburn, CA: Foothills Motel = "Horrible!" Date: August 11, 2006 Reviewer: A TripAdvisor Member, New Mexico, USA We stayed in the non-smoking "wing" of the motel. The motel room was acceptable, albeit a little out-dated. We were chilly as the vents were pouring out cold air in the room. After searching the room, we determined that there were not individual... more

Management response from
Tami Babb, Office Manager

The Foothills Motel was built in 1954. It was the first motel on what was then Highway 40, & is now Interstate 80. The owners, managers & employees all take pride in this classic motel & we do our very best to make all those who visit us comfortable. We are by no means a "state of the art" motel....

Check-in staff, very helpful.Handed some coupon's for use at property.Room decent sized, bed comfortable.As for my bathroom, standup shower, would've liked more room. Sink has older fixtures but they worked fine.For entertainment "complex" has a bar and bowling alley nearby (short walk).Perfect for easy access to/from Interstate 80. Yes, I'd stay again if rates were comparable to other area properties. more
