I’ve stay here a few times when visiting Auburn. But this time my room wasn’t as clean as it usually is. The bathroom had mold in between the tiles and around the tub. Something that should easily be wiped away. Also my husband found someone’s used contact on the night stand. So it kind of made me think things weren’t that clean
