What to do in Auburn
Alabama: Auburn/Opelika/Alexander City Multi-Attraction Pass
"The room smelled like mildew. I hoped that once the air cooled the room down the smell would go away but it never did. Having a water dispenser in the lobby or better yet on each floor would have made all the difference. I probably won’t stay again. Not worth the $250 a night."
"I really enjoyed our stay at LaQuinta. The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The fitness room is very clean. The parking and area, in general, felt safe. We ate at the complimentary breakfast once. It was decent and it kept us from having to eat out on a rushed morning. The only thing I would recommend is for travelers to take their own shampoo and conditioner."
