Der Empfang im Hotel war sehr professionell und ausgesprochen freundlich. Die Zimmerwahl ließ sich problemlos anpassen, und das Zimmer ist modern gestaltet. Die Klimaanlage ist superleise, und das Bett ist sehr bequem. Anstelle einer Standard-Badewanne gibt es eine ebenerdige Dusche mit einfachem Einstieg. Das Frühstück bietet eine gute Auswahl an Obst, Müsli, warmen Speisen wie Rührei und Kartoffelspalten sowie Speck oder Wurst. Früher gab es zudem ein praktisches Frühstück zum Mitnehmen, aber mittlerweile ist es nur noch vor Ort erhältlich. Insgesamt eine ruhige und angenehme Unterkunft. Sehr empfehlenswert!

The hotel was very clean as was my room. It's no nonsense, nothing frilly, just a nice, clean hotel! I was greeted and checked in quickly. There is a small gym and snack station near the lobby. The hotel is right off the highway but still close to lots of shopping. We will be returning to this hotel in a few weeks and I'm glad I stayed over now to see what a good hotel it is.

I recently stayed at the Avid hotel Auburn – University Area, and I left very disappointed. For the entirety of my stay, there was no hot water in my room. Every shower was freezing cold, and despite raising the issue several times, it was never resolved. This is a fundamental expectation for any hotel stay, and the lack of urgency in addressing it was unacceptable. That said, I want to highlight that Precious, the Front Desk Manager, was extremely positive and pleasant to work with. She did everything within her power to help, but it was clear the issue was beyond her control. Her professionalism and empathy were the only bright spots in an otherwise frustrating experience. I typically choose IHG properties because of their reliability and high standards, but this situation was far below expectations. A hotel operating without consistent hot water is not up to IHG’s usual quality, and it needs immediate attention to protect the brand’s reputation.
