Our Best Value pick in Auburn, Alabama, has a guest score of 9.5 out of 10 from 291 reviews. It suits university visitors, parents on campus trips, and anyone who wants to walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Guests also single out the professional, friendly staff.
Skip it if you are watching costs. Guests praise the quality, yet many still call the rates expensive. It is the most expensive of our three Auburn picks in our reference data.
Location and getting around
You will find it at 241 South College Street, with a location score of 9.8. Guests say it sits directly across from the university campus and within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants.
We do not have verified walking times to specific sights from this hotel. For anything beyond campus and downtown, check the distance on a map and plan for a car or taxi if it turns out to be far.
What guests say
Two things stand out in reviews: the location next to campus and close to downtown, and a welcoming, helpful team.
The recurring complaint is price. Guests are not criticising the standard, which they rate highly. They simply find the rates high, and that is fair given the numbers below.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €206.04 per night, about €412 for two nights, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. The sample median was €126.93, so you pay about €79 a night above the typical rate. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Here the Best Value label needs explaining. Our Luxury pick, Graduate by Hilton Auburn, AL, scored 9.1 at €171.28 per night, so it was cheaper in our reference data. Our Budget pick, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Auburn - University Area, scored 8.3 at €97.80. This hotel earned its label through the highest score in the sample and a larger review count than the Graduate (291 against 94), not through a low price.
Listed facilities include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a fitness center, a pool, a garden, a terrace and air conditioning. Breakfast is listed as American, with a breakfast-to-go option; whether it is included in your rate is not confirmed.
