Sharee
the heater did not work. he got it on but would not turn off.
Steven
Outside area had weeds all over. Looked like the place was abandoned. Econ and quality Inn are together in the same building. Curtain in your roo. Was torn about two feet.
Wei
Dirty bath tub, yellow stain in it!!! No toiletries were provided!!! Very little selection of breakfast! Will never book again!
Verified traveler
The breakfast was terrible, cold and congealed. The property had trash everywhere. There were roaches in the bathtub.
It is an inexpensive hotel but I would not stay again.

I really liked having two chairs in the room. I did not like that refrigerator was barely cool.
Verified traveler
Do not stay here if you have standards of a hotel
We stayed one night. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone there were cigarette burns in our sheets ,people that obviously live there, it is very dingy and out of date there was a quality inn and suites connected, which looked like it was a little bit better condition. For spending $145 I would’ve expected more. I was close to going back and asking for our money back before we even unpacked our bags.
Linda
Very modern and clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast.
Brian
Quick and easy
Andy
We booked a room at EconoLodge and got a free upgrade to a room at the QualityInn, the nicer rooms in the same building, which was great for our family stay. Staff and service was excellent. The building itself is aged and needs better ventilation for the rooms, hallways, and breakfast area. Nice and quiet location with lots of parking.
Kristy
Run down building. Needs a refresh. Countertop in bathroom peeling. Bed was so-so. Floor was not properly vacuumed. Bed was clean, however. Kind of icky.
Jamie
It is an older hotel and you get what you pay for but our bathroom was dirty and the shower drain was very very slow and toilet as well. AC was ok but could be a little stronger.
Breakfast was ok but limited on choice by the time we got down to it.

Steve
No pool. Breakfast was lacking anything healthy. Coffee was terrible. Staff were friendly and rooms were mostly ok.
Brittany
Property was okay. In our room specifically there were lightbulbs burnt out and one that flickered. Only 1 main light and the bathroom light worked well. Hallways were decent but were noticeably dirty in some spots and room was okay but could be better maintained.. Could have been better.
Jessie
It was a very dirty hotel. People were living there fully. Cutting peoples hair o it side the building in front of the rooms. A guy was yelling at the front desk for his room but seemed like he was on something. Didn’t seem fully there. Very unsafe and dirty.
Michael
This was the dirtiest stinkiest hotel room I have ever stayed in. All the floors look like they hadn’t been cleaned in years. Everything was sticky greasy filthy dirty. Everything was extremely old worn out holes in the furniture. One of the beds had crumbs under the bedspread on top of the sheets Parking lot was overgrown with weeds. The door look like it was gonna fall off. The hinges whole property was totally rundown. This hotel should be demolished.
Niki
The manager was wonderful and very helpful. Enjoyed our stay!
Gabby
It was a okay hotel it wasn’t the cleanest it wasn’t the dirtiest it was a place to stay!! No bugs !! The beds are ok, not enough towels tho ! But over all wasn’t a bad place!
Audrey
Nice area. Rooms fine for the price. Friendly and efficient check in gal.
Angie
We checked in fine, overall first impression- place a bit run down, seems to be in middle of reno. Upon return from our event- there was absolutely no one at the front desk… in fact not one staff person to be found. Other guests reported they’d been waiting in lobby for about an hour for any sign of staff to check in and couldn’t. Police eventually called and showed up— which was disturbing on many levels- morphed into sense of decreased safety. Rooms very average at best. Probably won’t attempt to book there in future. Not great experience.
Malcolm
This place is gross and stinks..
Ceara
The shower drains so slow the tub fills with water in a five minute shower and takes another 15 min to drain. We were switched rooms and they both did the same thing. There were ants in one of the rooms we stayed in. The heater was set at heat to 66 and it felt like a sauna it was at least 75 in there. No elevator to get to the second floor so just inconvenient not a huge deal. Everything was just very run down and old. The staff was very nice.

Very clean room and bathroom. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. A wide variety of foods for breakfast.
Pamela A
Great staff very helpful. check-in was fast and easy. Love the convenience of the parking lot door. Rooms were very clean and well put together. He had all the amenities you needed. Breakfast was good. The coffee cup was a little tiny, but you have a coffee maker in your room. Very happy with my stay g I will be back....The only thing I didn't like was there were a lot of cigarette butt out in the parking lot.
Dawn
The room we were given is nothing like there pictures.

It was cheap. But we found a bed bug, then left.
Donna
The bathroom lights doesn’t work. So they gave us a lamp.
Larry
The floor was sticky in our room and there were flies in the room
Regina
Very convenient for my bike tour. Had everything I needed. Staff are great!
Linda
Room was clean and smelled clean. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. The AC unit worked well enough but the room was humid. Quiet location and we did sleep well. Breakfast was better than average. The check in process was efficient.
Nell
Staff (3 ladies @ desk) were great. Property in disrepair, pool closed. Rooms nice/clean/beds comfy. Continental breakfast \"good\". Would stay again.
Tonya
Better than i expected!
The initial check in is confusing but our room was fine. We traveled with our daughter & dog & we had an entrance interior & exterior which was nice. The exterior can use some major cleanup but inside was good! Room was good but the frig didn't work.
MICHAEL
Staff was friendly and helpful. Coffee maker did not work, cleanliness was subpar and we dealt with some bugs.
taylor
Nothing special
When we arrived we ended up driving around the whole building bc it’s not clear where the front desk is for the Econo lodge bc the quality inn is also attached. The front desk for both are in the same place. Check inn was fast and easy. The front person was very helpful and pleasant. There was no elevator seen just fyi. Our room was clean. The door Sercuirty could be better it’s a chain lock on top of the dead bolt. It was quite and peaceful. The beds were a little harder than we’re used to. We didn’t eat breakfast there but wanted to get some ice water for our bottles and the breakfast person was not friendly. When asked if they had cold water she said no only hot water. We asked how they fill the dispenser in the lobby she just said we only have hot water. Over all if we didn’t have another option we’d stay again
David
The staff was great.
Jackson
Overall for the price very nice place to stay. Looks a little sketchy from the outside but it is not at all. Wasn't a 5 star hotel or anything but it was clean, and the staff was very nice. Would definitely stay again.
Andrea
Check in person was awesome. Quick, efficient and kind.
Deborah
Great weekend
Came to go to a concert in another city have stayed here before it's only a 35 minute drive to the other city staff very friendly and helpful
Vicki
Very good place for the rate. It was easy to locate and had close dining options. Stairs to the 2nd floor were kind of steep but for me they worked fine.
Paul
The hotel was overbooked on Friday night and we were not able to get a room on the second floor. (My wife uses a walker, so getting her upstairs and downstairs was a significant effort.) The room we did get was not great - toilet didn't flush right, amenities were missing, the refrigerator didn't have a freezer, the air conditioner was loud, and everything (food, front desk) were far away. We were able to change to a different room Saturday night, and that room was great - our own door to the parking lot (and a parking space right there), fridge had a freezer, appliances were quiet, and overall it was great.
Verified traveler
Better then expected
The staff was very nice. The breakfast was surprisingly stocked and well attended to. Everything was clean. I slept very well. I will be looking into buying similar pillows. Bed was firm though as you’d expect. It is an old hotel and run down. It worked fine for our trip that had us gone a lot :)
Franklin
Cold shower
We awoke to no hot water. When notified they said they were working on it. Other the a cold shower the stay was fine.

Clean and Quiet Place
Room was okay, nothing fancy. Bed was a little hard. Everything was clean. Front desk worker was very friendly and helpful.

Hotel and everything was amazing only issue was the parking lot too many potholes, car wasn’t parked right and going through my vehicle hit a huge pothole and scratched the side bottom pretty well. Other then that everything was good

Very clean, a bit shabby and the bed was rather uncomfortable. The staff was super.

You get what you pay for
The hotel property is dated and is in 7/10 condition but the rate was appropriate. This Econo Lodge location shared the same front desk with its slightly more upscale corporate property next door, which was somewhat confusing to find at first. I requested a first floor room or ADA-accessible room because I can't climb stairs (the building had no elevator) and I got the first floor room. This non-ADA room had a bathtub, which was slippery to stand in while taking a shower and the tub drained very slowly. Front desk and housekeeping staff was friendly and polite. The region was in the process of getting 15 inches of snow and snow removal was adequate for the parking lot but less so regarding the entry doors to the large hotel complex.

great rate, grab n go bkfst, friendly staff and easy access.

The staff were very friendly. Because It was just me and my child, the staff changed my room assignment to the 2nd floor for safety. I loved her concern for us.
Verified traveler
We loved the easy access to to room from our car! The room was fairly clean and set up, the fridge was already cold. What we didn’t like was we couldn’t find signs to let us know where to go, like which direction out of our room to the office or ice machine. We didn’t feel real safe with the interior door because it didn’t have a separate lock like a chain or something as other motels do.
Verified traveler
I ended up walking thru the Econolodge hallway part looking for check in. Quality Inn signage only is above entrance and the arrow for Econolodge pointed to nothing. Confusing and walking in those hallways seemed unsafe. Very quiet, comfortable beds, and great showers.

We arrived late afternoon, got our room, dropped off our stuff, and then headed to the event we planned to attend in Brainerd. Got back to the hotel late, but found the TV wasn't working. Staff responded to the issue right away and Jim, the maintenance man, ended up getting a new TV for our room. He did a great job, working quickly and efficiently to get the new TV hooked up. I don’t care for laminate flooring which our room had. I prefer carpet, but that’s just my personal preference. The hotel is being updated, but still has a ways to go. Overall, a good stay.
Verified traveler
I was upgraded for free. The room had an outside door that allowed you to pop right outside your room to smoke. I've been to a lot of hotels, and this one by far had the very best Continental breakfast of all of them. It was adorable. They had so many options other than the usual eggs+sausage+cereal. I've literally never checked out of a hotel full from the breakfast until this place.
The staff are really friendly and one in particular had like the six sense that really good hotel people have, that allowed her to know exactly what was going on even before your knew.

It was a pretty good stay, I had some trouble with my card at check in, but it happens with my card at any hotel. Other than that, it was pretty good.
