Best for
This hotel best suits Auburn University visitors -- parents, alumni, recruits, and event attendees -- thanks to its across-the-road proximity to campus, museums, and Toomer's Corner. It also works well for extended-stay travelers and families needing extra space, since suites include kitchens, separate living rooms, and laundry facilities. Pet owners and travelers wanting free parking and breakfast also benefit from the property's included perks.
Travel tips
Plan on roughly a 20-minute walk from the hotel to the Auburn University stadium, coliseum, campus core, and downtown, so comfortable shoes or a short drive/rideshare can help on event days. The hotel is about 5 miles from Auburn University Regional Airport, making it a convenient base for fly-in visits. Outdoor enthusiasts should budget separate drive time for Chewacla State Park and its lake and waterfall, which are a few kilometers away rather than walkable.
