So, shockingly that the room was as clean and comfortable as it was by looking at the outside of the building. Checkin was easy, room was one of the cleanest in out whole vacation( 12 days, 3 different hotels). Beds were comfortable... So now the not good stuff, but doable, the carpet going upstairs definitely needed to be replaced, I'm pretty sure there are \"long term\" people staying there, which were no bother to us. The breakfast area and options were small and limited, there were restaurants close by though and the area of the hotel wasn't the greatest.

Stopped for the night while driving from North Carolina to Vermont. The hotel was good and clean with no problems. Never used any facilities and not sure what they were if there were any. The shower was very good, better than most hotels but no coffee maker in the room, but I believe they had coffee in reception. I would stop again if I needed a break from driving.
These questionnaires from Expedia are a bit pointless and Expedia seem to believe my whole life now revolves around them as they send so many emails; there are so many that I do not read them and I am only writing this now as I opened this one by mistake instead of deleting it.

I cant complain a whole bunch because i was going on a budget with not being there other than to sleep. The rooms don't have carpeting. The love seat in our room was so stained i wouldn't go near it. Whatever got used to clean the stained bed linens smelled terrible and gave me a rash. The towels were small and they only cleaned or changed the towels every 3 days for you. The toilet seat was falling off and the bathroom in general wasnt in great shape. We didnt even finish out our stay due to other multiple things at this location. The one plus side.is the two people who worked the front desk, suoer.friendly and helpful.

Warning do not book at this hotel

I booked a room for after prom at this Econo Lodge. Before I left for prom I checked in they gave me a hard time about my age which I’m 18 and been 18 since October of 2023, the check in age is 18. The second thing is after leaving and coming back one of the employees followed me to my room asking me if I had a room there and what was my number for the room. The biggest thing is me and my gf room tried to get broken into and while this was happening the man at the front desk was knocked out cold sleep in a chair. So me and my gf decided to leave because we felt unsafe. I came back the later that day because we left at 3 am due to us going bowling and hanging out with our friends. I asked for a refund the same guy that was sleep refused to give me my refund because I didn’t wake him up when it happened. Which I shouldn’t have to wake you up you should be doing your job. So wouldn’t recommend staying here also the room quality isn’t the best.

The pillow cases were dirty, the floors were sticky, there was a doll hand in the made bed so it obviously was overlooked or sheets were not washed before us. Our key did not work for door after we checked in, the conclusion was that the battery in the door was dead, and no solution for a new key or room change so we just had to deal with it. The overnight woman who helped us was very rude, from acting like the not working key was an inconvenience to her to her underhand comments about my friend and I’s appearance.

Staff/cleanliness

Check in service (afternoon /evening lady) desk lady was amazing! Super friendly, very helpful, told us her local restaurant recommendations, things to do, etc.

Overall cleanliness-on a scale of 1-10 probably a 6. The bldg is old and definitely some “old dirt” that just isn’t gotten to. There was garbage behind our nightstand that housekeepers missed (chip bags). Under the mattresses the dust ruffle sheet could definitely used washed. The steps going up to 2nd floor were carpeted and very dirty (high traffic area) but could use new carpet or deep cleaned.

The check out (morning lady) service desk lady was not friendly, seemed bothered to do her job. Did not refill breakfast area (at 7 am there was only 3 muffins left) breakfast started at 6 am. She was chatting with two ladies that were not even staying there and was very annoyed that she had to check us out and give us a receipt. We found her rather rude.

It was a decent, budget friendly place that could use a little bit more cleaning.
