This was an affordable motel, very clean and quiet, with lots of free food sitting around. The lobby had bowls of fruit and cookies when we checked in, and waffles, biscuits and gravy, fruit, danish, yogurt, etc. for breakfast. Although the inn was about full (with Motley Crue concert-goers, no less), we did not hear any sounds on any side of us, and I am very noise-sensitive! The staff that we saw was very friendly and helpful.

The bathroom was a little small, but the shower was nice and hot, with decent water pressure.

Some reviewers claim this motel was dirty, and I wonder if they could have been at the same place. Everything I saw, from the lobby to the parking lot to the rooms, was spotless. (I also do not tolerate "funny smells" very well, and let me tell you, I didn't smell a single weird thing!) Be warned: there is a train track fairly nearby, although I didn't wake up once to the sound of trains.

This is one to avoid at all costs. I planned a birthday trip for my sis in March of 2005. We knew the minute we entered the lobby, it was not a good thing!!!! There were children of the person in charge screeming and crying. I asked to see the room. It was not anything like the photos. There was a sofa bed right beside the bed by the window so there was no room to move by that bed. It did not smell clean either. There was also a man yelling at someone down the hall from the room. We also noticed as we got back into our car that there was a second story window broken out and just boarded up. Looked very classy!!!!! I was also refused a refund of the charges to my credit card.

My wife and I spent the night of Feb 21, 2004 at this place. As soon as you enter the lobby to check in you are overwhelmed by the smell of curry. The place is dirty and the rooms have a funny undescribeable odor to them. The widows were dirty and were the curtains. Wouldn't even consider taking a shower in the bathroom. The only reason we stayed is because of the 24 hour cancellation rule. We would've had to pay for the room even if we decided not to stay there. Also, be aware that the street behind Nendels is used for drag racing 12am-3am. We even had people right outside our window cheering on the racers. I am writting Nendels Corporate office for a full refund. Avoid this place at all costs unless you like Indian cooking.

I stayed at the Nendels Valu Inn at Auburn for 4 nights for corporate business. The rooms and the service were excellent. I would definately stay there again!
