Met basic needs. Convenient location to AU campus.
Met basic expectations. High-priced but it was game day in Auburn and accommodations were accordingly at a premium. Kudos to the staff for letting me check in early (9:30 a.m.) Mildewy smell that dissipated after a few hours. Mattress.too firm. Only 3 miles from AU campus. Quiet location.

A budget motel (not hotel)
A disappointing stay to wrap up our trip. We reserved two rooms, and each had a distinct smell, one of which was overpowering to my asthmatic daughter. That one room seemed to have the heat on in summertime didn’t help.
(Also, QI models vary - but this is a motel, not a hotel as the app suggests: Doors on outside, no carpeting, two stories, etc. Not a bad thing, but just know what you’re getting)

Won’t Be Back
I won’t be returning to this hotel again! The blatant discrimination that took place was crazy! Just because of the address on my license, I had to pay a $200 cash deposit. I hardly ever carry that much cash & the room was barely $100 a night. RIDICULOUS. Nowhere on the site does it mention this, and I was shocked the front desk lady even told me that, because that is an awful look on their part. BUYER BEWARE! And make sure you have a bundle of cash if you stay here

Rooms and breakfast
Great quiet place to stay near everything in town. Continental breakfast is not the greatest. AC in the rooms can be loud at night. Rooms were clean with a comfortable bed. Shower water pressure is low. Toilets are low to the ground. Would come back for another stay.
