About this property
Welcome to Auburn Motel
The Auburn Motel offers a straightforward, budget-friendly lodging option in the heart of Auburn, Washington. Situated at 1202 Auburn Way S, this motel serves travelers looking for affordable accommodations without the frills. While the motel holds a modest rating of 2.9, it stands out for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, especially for pet owners. The on-site maintenance staff, notably a friendly woman and her daughter, consistently receive praise for their helpfulness and genuine care, enhancing the overall guest experience.
One of Auburn Motel’s most notable features is its exceptional pet-friendly policy. Guests with dogs appreciate the spacious, gated outdoor area where their pets can roam freely and safely off-leash. The motel thoughtfully provides poop bags and cleaning supplies, a rare amenity that reflects genuine consideration for pet owners.
Though the motel lacks certain amenities such as breakfast service, a pool, or an airport shuttle, it covers essential needs well: free Wi-Fi keeps guests connected, free parking is convenient, and air conditioning offers comfort during warmer months. The property also maintains a smoke-free environment, contributing to a cleaner, healthier stay.
Location-wise, Auburn Motel is a practical base for exploring local attractions. It is a mere two-minute walk to Les Gove Park, perfect for morning strolls or evening relaxation. For entertainment, the Muckleshoot Casino lies just under two miles away, while the White River Amphitheatre, seven miles distant, hosts various concerts and events. For business visitors or those connected to the aviation industry, the Boeing Auburn Fabrication Site is a short 2.3-mile drive.
While the property may not boast luxury or extensive services, Auburn Motel’s charm lies in its simplicity and dedication to a niche clientele. The genuine hospitality of the staff and the thoughtful amenities for dogs create an inviting environment that stands out among budget accommodations.
For travelers seeking affordable, no-nonsense lodging with a strong pet-friendly focus and convenient access to Auburn’s landmarks, Auburn Motel is a practical choice. Its honest approach and approachable staff deliver a comforting, if unassuming, stay for those who value substance over style.

This place is great for the price! The maintenance women and her daughter are super sweet, amazingly personable, and helped me so much throughout my whole stay! The motel itself is very dog friendly which I love! There’s a fairly big gated area where the dogs can be off leash and they offer their own poop bags/cleaning tools! I almost gave this place a 5 star rating until I met the owners wife. She seems very cold and unfriendly towards people. Maybe I misunderstood the situation or something. But if she spoke to me in a friendlier tone, wanted to help answer my questions, and didn’t talk smack about my dog barking for 2 seconds not knowing i was the owner right in front of me. I’d be more willing to give 5 stars. Maybe she was just having an off day I don’t know. I would return, but only for the service and care the maintenance women and her daughter gave. And the off leash dog yard with a lovely gazebo is a huge plus.
