Banks and gas stations are pretty much found every block so they are easy to find and plentiful.

Babysitter, if you need one I can pass along info to see if they are available.

A Recent Review....

"Location...Location...Location! What more can I say about this great place right in the middle of it all? Even with the "late nighter's" outside, we all had a great time and had no problem falling asleep in 2 minutes in those great beds. All the nice touches abound here. From snacks, much needed water, extra pillows and blankets and good parking..I just can't think of anything else you might need. Our hosts were quick with answers and I can certainly see how new and old visitors to Auburn would love this place. Two great breakfast places across the street, pharmacy, bank..everything within walking distance. Thanks So much!"
