Hotels near Raymond J. Harbert College of Business, Auburn

After being in Auburn all day and not feeling awake enough to make a drive home I decided to book a room. I didn't have much to choose from because every hotel in the area seemed to be full (on a weeknight) and prices were sky-high! The outside of the Marriott was clean and well-lit and generally felt like a safe area. The entrance from the main road was not lit up and was difficult to see. Check-in was easy, but the desk person lacked in personality or hospitality. She was just doing her job. I knew before booking that this hotel does not serve complimentary breakfast. I usually choose hotels with breakfast because 1. We pay a lot of money to stay at these establishments 2. My kids love to pick different things (like making their own waffles) to eat that we normally wouldn't make at home. 3. It's convenient. Nonetheless, no breakfast at this Marriott, unless you visit their bar area and order and pay for food. A guest checking in ahead of me asked about breakfast - I knew exactly what he was asking. The woman checking him in pointed (at the bar) and said it's over there from (this time to that time) not once saying it isn't included. I bet he was in for a surprise the next morning. As for the room, it was clean and smelled good, unlike many hotels I've stayed in. It's your standard room, but slightly larger than most. The beds were comfortable and had lots of pillows and the sheets were soft - win! The bathroom had a large open shower and plenty of hooks and towel racks. Only 1 coffee cup which sucks when you have more than 1 person in your room who wants coffee. And it looked like someone had spit in the coffee maker - people are nasty! Why??? Also, the mini fridge had something growing in it which I presumed was black mold. As a word of caution for anyone traveling with small children, the window in our room could be slid open easily. I've never stayed in a hotel where the windows actually opened. Clean. Comfortable. Safe. No complimentary breakfast.

Average at best, and not nearly enough for the $175 cost. I’m a long-time Hilton Honors member but I’ve never tried their Tru hotels. The best thing I can say is that room was very clean. Staff members at check in and check out were very pleasant. Other than those things, I was unimpressed. Rooms are small and sparsely furnished, which I assume is typical of the Tru brand. No chair in room except a small uncomfortable one. Breakfast was probably one of the worst I’ve seen at any hotel. Coffee was decent. At 8:45 on a Saturday morning, eggs, bagels/breads, and oatmeal toppings were basically empty and never replenished. Breakfast ended at 9:00. Strange for a weekend. Will look for somewhere else to stay next time in town.

The hotel is a little renovated, but the maintenance is very good, the breakfast is a standard American breakfast, coffee and bacon are very good! The service is also very welcoming, there are on-site meals on holidays, the desserts and chocolates at the front desk are great, the location is also good, next to the 85th road, eating and shopping is very convenient. There is also a Chinese restaurant next to it!

Compared to the Chinese, the delicious breakfast is acceptable, with egg custard, milk, waffle, sausage, bread custard, milk, fruit juice, and fruit. Parking was perfectly fine. The location is easy to find, and it is conveniently located next to Highway 85. Overall is good.

Very nice clean great location Close access to food and shopping

I chose this hotel based on good reviews online. It seemed expensive but hotels in their area were either not good or pricy. This hotel was middle of the road for me. The room was fine- nothing special- the quality you expect from a quality inn- with average towels and some amenities... microwave, tv, decent wifi.... However, when the tour bus pulled up at 9pm outside and sat for 25 minutes idling extremely loudly it was not unnoticed. The rooms open to the outside and do not block much in the way of sound. In the morning the breakfast area was disgusting because people could not be bothered to throw away their trash and whoever was in charge of breakfast was not keeping it tidy. Food selection was minimal. They did not even have oatmeal (and I mean the instant, in the packets kind). For 130 dollars a night I would prefer to get something decent to eat. What a waste of money. Location was good but I will not stay again based on price and quality of amenities. Not sure why hotels in this town are so expensive but this place was worth maybe 70 bucks and that's being generous. They need to seriously re-do their breakfast options.

Didn’t expect what we got for the price. It is a suite with a kitchen and full size fridge. The bed was firm and comfortable. The bathroom was recently updated clean and nice. Front desk friendly and helpful. You can even “borrow” stuff like pancake maker, books, toaster etc. They have a snack room we’re you can get coffee tea or buy snacks… lots of em. Lots of eating places all around good location.

There is a supermarket across the road from the hotel. For those who come for the first time, it is more convenient to buy daily necessities. Then, along the direction of the supermarket, there is a traffic light and a Wal-Mart. The items are more and more good. It is a good choice for Chinese students who come to Auburn.

We stayed for 4 nights and everything was as good as we had hoped. Excellent room with good linens, towels amenities. Their own shampoo/conditioner/shower gel were excellent products. Kitchen was well planned and supplied. Room was on 3rd floor overlooking the pool and was quiet. Staff were all pleasant and cheerfully helpful. My wife left a pair of shoes behind and the hotel shipped them to us. Plenty of parking. By the pool were a pair of BBQ grills with plenty of seating. Free washer/dryer for guest use. Only negative was the ”light meal” offered for the ”social hour” on Mon, Tue, Wed. One day it was nothing but a bag of popcorn and unchewable, tough warm pretzle bites with some sort of awful ”cheese sauce” . Other than that we highly recommend and would return.
