One moment
Saffron Inn is 0.7 miles up the road from Auburn Mall — a 3-minute drive or 12-minute walk along Center Street. Free parking at our front door, 24-hour staffed desk for late shopping nights, rates starting from $89/night.
Auburn Mall is the regional retail anchor for central Maine. During the holiday season — late November through December — traffic on Center Street picks up substantially, and parking at the mall itself can get tight on Saturdays. Staying half a mile up the road at Saffron Inn means you skip the mall-lot circling: park free at the inn, drive in for a 90-second shot down Center Street, get a spot near the anchor of your choice.
On Black Friday and the long Thanksgiving weekend, the same logic applies — reserve early (October is not too soon), arrive Thursday night, hit the mall first thing Friday morning, and the rest of the long weekend is yours for the L/A region.
Shop the city. Sleep up the road.
Direct booking gets our best rate. Or call the front desk — open 24 hours.
