La Quinta Inn & Suites Auburn

Just left after two night stay. This is by far the nicest LaQuinta we have stayed in. Very clean, friendly helpful staff and best of all they allow pets without an extra charge. We will be staying here again.

I am writing an update because it important to note changes that can, and will effect others.
Unfortunately during my stay, I was the victim of domestic violence. The incident was not one that ended well for him, or myself. He destroyed my room here, and all my personal belongings. I was unable to continue my stay (prepaid via credit-​card), as the hotel trespassed me with the local police department. Not only that, I was unable to retrieve my belongings, and was left with only the clothes on my back. This hotel automatically assumed I must be low-​class, or a troubled person due to the circumstances. What a shame, what a crying shame.
I am in the process of filing a civil small claims law suit, to recover the costs of replacing my personal belongings they kept, as well as for the damages of $ 600 they charged my credit-​card I had on file. *** Mind you, I NEVER gave my abuser a room key, the front desk did, and I NEVER authorized that. ***

Wow! After returning from a trip to NYC and finding our house flooded we booked a few nights here with only a few hours notice. Not only were they extremely accommodating (a dog? no problem, here’s her own goodie bag! Kids? Sure, bring them downstairs for cookies after 6! Flood you say? We will waive our normal credit hold fee, we know you have other important expenses!) but they were over and beyond simple front desk friendliness. We were so impressed with the customer service that upon walking into our room we were beyond floored. We just left a boutique hotel that morning in the middle of Manhattan and the La Quinta 2 Queen room was beautiful even by big city standards. Extremely clean, upgraded bathrooms and linens and very contemporary designs.
We will be recommending this place for all our out of town guests. Don’t let the location sway you, this place is a gem!

«About those chain hotels»
On our recent November trip to the Northwest we stayed at a number of hotels including this La Quinta in Auburn, WA. Why this location? What is the draw to staying in Auburn? The Muckleshoot Indian Casino (Hawaii Kamaaina have a thing about casinos– anywhere) is located a few minutes away and is one of the larger hotels in the area, Muckleshoot Casino has no hotel.
I have been to many of the La Quintas over the years and I can honestly say this is one of the best of the bunch.
Lots of parking, close to the freeway for easy access, very clean and comfortable rooms with interior hallway access. It is one of the newer La Quintas and is being maintained very well.
The free breakfast offerings are pretty standard but still appreciated. They have a nice beverage table near the elevator for free coffee, tea, and iced water.
We stayed there twice on this latest trip, once before our drive to Corvallis, OR and once after driving back to Washington before heading to Seattle. We were able to snag a room with a jetted type tub which was very relaxing after a long drive from Oregon. The beds were comfortable and clean, the AC system was quiet and worked pretty well. Noisy neighbors were never and issue, perhaps just lucky this time.
Both times we really appreciated the friendly and efficient service by the hotel staff, different people, same great service.
Good rates, friendly service, free breakfast and close proximity to a casino make this a winning combination. This La Quinta is a great choice when in the area.

Room was great. Tons of pillows really sold me. Bed was great too and I usually hate hotel beds. Plenty of room in the bathroom. Updated room didn’t feel like an afterthought but that that had a plan and it worked.

First time staying here and won’t be the last! Sarah and Maggie at the front desk are superstars and both went above and beyond for us during our stay. They were so kind, had great suggestions, and always had a smile on their face.
The room was huge, had vaulted ceilings, super clean, comfy bed/​pillows, and was arranged well. Everything was new and of good quality. The bathroom was no exception, and just so clean! There were plenty of towels and extra pillows. No problem with parking and the grounds were well taken care of; felt safe walking around. Nice off leash fenced dog area and the little doggie treat bag Sarah gave our little dog was a nice touch to make him feel welcome too. Breakfast in the morning was yummy. The usual cereals, variety of breads and bagels to toast, oatmeal, muffins, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, and made to order Belgium and regular waffles with toppings, and orange/​apple juices, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and water. All was kept well stocked up to the end of breakfast time! Can’t wait to stay here again. Thank you Sarah and Maggie for a great stay!

Rooms are clean with fluffy pillows. Front desk staff is beyond excellent Maggie went out of her way to find me my favorite tea and Nicole recommended a wonderful pizza restaurant, they are knowledgeable and kind its very appreciate when you are out of town and don’t know where to go! And the morning Breakfast was great waffle maker awesome!

Amazing.
Rooms were wonderful, clean, and stylish. The air conditioner worked wonderfully on a miserably hot day. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was spacious.
Staff were attentive and just plain nice. We had an incident with loud upstairs neighbors and the staff made every effort to resolve the situation, even though the neighbors continued to be noisy after several warnings.
It was so nice, that we changed our plans elsewhere, so we could stay here because we were so happy with the experience. I wish all of the LA Quinta were like this one. If I were to spend time in that area, I would go back here in a heartbeat.

The best stay here! I love their modern look, the beds are super nice and the customer service is fantastic! Nicole was great!

La Quinta wins my vote for pet friendly hotels. I travel often with my standard poodle. We get great rooms at a good price and the staff are super friendly. They are doing things right here!

Was a very pleasant surprise. Especially for the price. Got it for under $ 90/​night.
Not too far from the I-​5 freeway. Close enough to Federal Way and Korean food. The place was clean. Nothing super luxurious but was clean, spacious, and beds were comfortable enough. I really appreciated the large sink top area in the bathroom as have 3 kids now. They have a pool and fitness room but I did not try them.
Free parking. The spaces are a bit small… but i’m not complaining.
Free wi-​fi. Not super fast but still usable. Better than many other «free wi-​fis» I’ve experienced at other hotels. Depends on the time, but speeds ranged anywhere from 0.5 mbs to 1.0 mbs. My mother-​in-​law was reportedly watching streaming videos just fine.
Fresh cookies in the afternoon. Free breakfast with fresh waffles, juice, milk, cereal, hot eggs, sausage, toast, muffins, english muffins… You can go to the Denny’s next door and get a small discount.
I would definitely stay here again if needing a hotel in the area.

We often stay at La Quinta Inns when we travel and this one has become our new favorite. The staff was exceptionally courteous and friendly. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. Our bed was very comfy and there were plenty of fluffy pillows to go around.
One of the benefits of LQ is that they allow pets to stay. This location has a unique feature that we haven’t seen at any other LQ or any other hotel at all — a dog park! Our 15 year old long-​haired Dachshund, Roxy really enjoyed being off the leash in the «Bark Park.»
There’s hot breakfast in the morning, really decent coffee available 24 hours and there is a heated indoor pool for those inclined to use it.
When we stay in this area again we will choose this hotel!

Great dog/​kid friendly place. Huge clean room. Gated off leash zone for Fido. Friendly staff. Mediocre breakfast included. Hotel seems brand new. Comfy beds too.

Check in here is painfully slow. What is it that most of the hotel guys know that LaQuinta has yet to learn about getting people checked in efficiently. C’mon guys this is basic hotel 101.

Staff is amazing here. They go above and beyond to make your stay awesome.
I travel back home often to visit and the location is perfect.
Only tip would be to request a room on the south side of the building so you don’t hear 18 traffic.

This hotel is wonderful! The staff is very friendly and the room was clean and comfy. Easy check in and out. Free breakfast bonus :) I would stay here again or any La Quinta.

Excellent staff, always friendly especially the lady that preps the breakfast.
Rooms always clean. Nice warm pool.

This hotel is super-​clean, the staff are unbelievably friendly, and the rates are very reasonable. The free breakfast actually has hot food (eggs, sausage, waffles) and they have fresh-​baked chocolate chip cookies available all day.
Very pet friendly — there’s a fenced dog run at the back of the hotel, and they have cookies for your dogs too.
Very close to Safeway, restaurants, and just off the highway.

While the facilities were clean and the place seemed to be a good value for the money initially, all that changed at checkout. I extended my stay but something got mixed up while the extension was entered into their reservation system. I was informed (after checkout time) that I had to leave. When asked what happened to the extension they admitted they made a mistake entering it into their computer but the mistake was made and now I had to leave. Further I was informed that the one day I did get was at a much increased rate (this was never mentioned during the booking) and that If I was not out by 1:30 pm I would incur an additional charge.
After scrambling to get out by the deadline given me I asked to speak with the manager. The attendant told me she was not there and that she would not hand out her number. When I asked if she could dial her manager and just hand me the phone the attendant refused.
A general manager that cannot be reached by a customer tells me everything I need to know about a business. I wish I had known this is how they operated before doing any business with them.
To sum up… If there was a review rating here that was in the negative 10’s it still would not reflect the terrible experience that was had there. To add insult to injury the desk attendant was giving me attitude the whole time telling me she was doing me a favor by at least telling me I had a deadline to get out.
After the debacle here I wound up at the Hampton Inn and Suites at the nearby town of Kent. What a difference. For a few dollars more I found a very nice place, bigger rooms and a hotel staff that really went the extra mile to make sure everything was right. Basically the polar opposite of this place.
More than a week after making inquiries I still have not heard from either the management or the corporate office of La Quinta Inn and Suites. I have to give this place my lowest score. Hope this helps the reader avoid some grief. Whatever you decide I’m wishing you a great stay in the Seattle area.

When you vacation with dogs in tow, you, unfortunately, will have very limited accommodation choices. After a bad night at a La Quinta north of Seattle, we knew we needed to find something else fast. We choose this hotel because central reservations for La Quinta said it was their newest in the area. It is a little outside of Seattle, but worth the extra few minutes in the car.
The hotel is clean, new, VERY DOG FRIENDLY! They do not limit you to just one, old smelly room like the La Quinta in Everett. They give you dogs treats when you arrive and poopie bags to pick up the dog poop when you walk your canine friends. They will offer you a coupon to use at a local dog wash, should Fido need freshening up as well. Everyone is nice to you. And, they have a small, fenced in area in the back where you can walk your dog.
Oh, and they will offer the humans fresh hot cookies whenever you walk through the lobby. And, of course, breakfast in the morning.
And free Wi-​Fi.
