Foothills Motel is the definite go to when staying in Auburn CA and surrounding areas. The place is spotless. All fully remodeled and friendly staff. I really appreciate how accommodating the front desk and housecleaners are. I highly recommend staying here especially with their reasonable rates!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms was clean, and quaint and we loved the retro style!
Very friendly front staff. Hotel room was clean, bed was so comfy, love the retro look. Bowling alley was very fun, conveniently located, great for either single people or groups with kids. Definitely will come back.
it seems to be recently renovated motel, it looks "classic", but the rooms are brand new, very clean etc; conveniently located near Auburn dountown (and on the top of the hill, so you even have a view, if it's a thing). No issues with check-in/out
This is an iconic motel built in 1959 and restored and upgraded with great love and care. The staff was delightful and friendly, especially Glen. Very nice retro motif touches and super comfy.
