Super 8 by Wyndham Auburn is a no-frills budget motel at 140 E Hillcrest Dr, just off Interstate 80 on Auburn’s north side. It suits travelers who want a clean, affordable bed between Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada, with free breakfast, WiFi and parking included in the rate.
Rooms are simple and functional, with cable TV, standard beds and few extras. Mornings bring a complimentary continental breakfast, a brand-wide Super 8 perk (source: [Wyndham Hotels](https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/super-8)), which helps families and road-trippers save money before the drive up to Lake Tahoe. Guest reviews average around 3.3 stars. Travelers often praise the value and freeway access, while comments on upkeep vary from stay to stay. Super 8 is the world’s largest budget hotel chain, with roughly 2,600 locations (source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_8_(hotel))), and stays here earn Wyndham Rewards points.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book early for summer weekends. Auburn calls itself the “Endurance Capital of the World,” and rooms fill up around the Western States 100 in late June and other trail races. Ski-season Fridays also draw travelers heading to Tahoe. Weekday stays from fall through spring usually bring the lowest rates. Book directly with Wyndham to get the best-rate guarantee.
Old Town Auburn and its domed Placer County Courthouse are a short drive away. So are the canyon trails of the Auburn State Recreation Area along the American River. Call ahead to confirm current policies, including pet rules.
