The location of the hotel was excellent and easy to get to. It is close to Walmart, so that was convenient for our situation. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was just cleaned prior to our arrival, so we know that the room was clean. The room was also spacious. The refrigerator worked well, and we put the microwave to good use. The channel line up, etc. was different than indicated on the room's paperwork, but there was a note in the paperwork stating that the line-up was subject to change. The overall reception and amount of channels wasn't ideal, but we weren't there to watch tv anyway. The breakfast was decent with sausage, eggs, and waffles as the highlights. Parking was adequate as well. I would suggest some updates to the shower just because it was older, but it worked satisfactorily. The air conditioner also worked well. I sadly left a favorite pillow at the hotel, but that's the cost of traveling sometimes. Anyway, the overall stay was good, and we got the needed rest and refreshing breakfast that we needed.

First, I arrived shortly after 10:00 pm and discovered the office was closed, so I was forced to use an electronic kiosk talking virtually to people most likely from India and all they could tell me is that my reservation could not be found. After confirmation emails, numbers, names, etc., they could do nothing for me. They wanted me to cancel the reservation they could not find and charged me approximately $80 more than my original reservation. Finally, an employee walked by and said they would help. After multiple searches, it was discovered that another employee had checked someone else in under my name. I was almost given the keys to open their door to get to the room that I had booked. Thankfully, the employee caught it and reassigned us rooms that had two full beds instead of the king beds that I had booked. The floors and baseboards were all filthy. It took over an hour to check in after long frustrations. I will never book with Econolodge again because they do not hire people to help check people in after 10:00 pm, rather they pay people in foreign countries to deal with checking people into a motel on the other side of the world! They were useless to problem solve. It's crazy!

The check-in process was great. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was too small. (Had to open the shower and step into it to get the bathroom door closed). With that said…the shower was great!
Very noisy property. 2 vehicles alarms going off didn’t help. The TV in our room did not work - however, as we are not much on watching TV it didn’t matter. This was an OK overnight stay. I would not stay here for multiple nights.

I accidentally book this hotel again. This time was definitely an improvement from the last time we stayed here. Room look and smelled clean. Bathroom was newer and it was nice to have a kitchen area. The big refrigerator in the room was great. The breakfast room was compact and small and the breakfast wasn't the best but I guess it did the trick. They had small waffles, eggs, and sausage. The front desk person was very nice. Our biggest concern was my son found a cockroach in the room as we were loading up to leave. We did mention to staff.

We checked in late, signage was helpful to lead me to kiosk to get my room key. Room was okay, shower still had soap remains on glass near the bottom. Front door frame had a bit of a gap that let cold air in. Luckily i was traveling with my brother so i felt safe but other wise probably wouldn't. Towels weren't as clean and noticed some had makeup residuals. Continental breakfast was kind of hidden, food choice wasn't the best but for the price i get it.

I tried two different rooms. The bed was broken on the first, there was hair on the floor of both bathrooms, and both freezers were disgusting. Also stain on the bedspread. It’s noisy because it’s right on the highway, and once the work trucks rolled in, that was the last straw. I took my family and paid for another hotel room for the night. It was so disgusting.
Oh, and there’s a picture of a pool in the ad, and the reason it looks strange is because they filled it in.

No staff physically works there at night just some random non local person you talk to through a self check in kiosk machine. People getting drunk and being loud outside the rooms and parking lot through out the night since no staff is there to report any misconduct. HIGHLY recommend not leaving any valuables in your vehicle this place is just a bit rough around the edges for no reason even though the rest of the town is nice.

The bathroom floor was dirty and had obviously not been cleaned for some time. Obvious dirt and hair on the bathroom floor. The knob to the shower fell off twice, and it didn’t line up correctly with Hot/cold markings. There wasn’t a shelf or place for soap and shampoo so they had to be on the shower floor. There wasn’t a hot breakfast as advertised only generic cheerios and corn flakes. Then our key cards wouldn’t work after that “not so hot” breakfast. After this horrible experience, I doubt we will ever stay at EconoLodge again.

I want to start by saying the staff was amazing. However, I scheduled a room on the wrong days. They were able to accommodate me and moved the dates but they put me in a room with no coach and full of mold. Breakfast was scarce every morning and the heater in the room was not working well enough to keep the room warm.

All of which was taken. Because I exrended my stay. Thank god i took my bsg with my personal items and meds. I was givin half the value refunded back.
Please beware. If you have to extend take EVERYTHING with you. Evidently, that exstinson doesn't get passed along.

If you arrive after 10p, you’ll use a virtual check-in with someone far away, possibly India. We could not hear or easily understand the agent, the printer on the kiosk did not work. Experience took us 20 frustrating minutes. Bottom line: don’t arrive after their office closes.

This property had a good, 8.2, rating. I have no idea how or why. It is in dire need of help. Room was reserved as a nonsmoking room but had been smoked in, smelled bad. Not even a hook to hang clothing on, needs paint and cleanup. Only an office chair and plastic chair for seating,no baseboards. Behind the room a homeless man in camo and a skeletor type mask was meandering around. Windows are not double glazed. They were in serious need of cleaning and repair. We returned the keys, wrote off the nonrefundable cost and went to a better place. I've learned my lesson. I won't reserve nonrefundable rooms again.

Spacious room, but for a price!

Spacious room, but it comes with drawbacks. The main complaint is the garbage container placed right under the stairs, so guests are punished by getting a glimpse of the fragrance just because. The bathroom floor towel was filthy. There was no towel holder for the vanity or shower. There's a round table in the room that we decided not to use because it was shaky and unstable. Breakfast was limited, and the coffee was not good.

Okay If You're On a Tight Budget

I understand this is a budget hotel, and wasn't expecting any frills. Bed was okay, but could use better pillows. The couple that live on-site were very friendly and helpful (couldn't get TV to work). Did have an issue with another staff member. We went out but didn't check-out, it wasn't even 9:00 am and our key didn't work upon our return. When I asked the front desk, I was told you were automatically checked out. I told her we hadn't checked out, and needed key reactivated. She repeated we were checked out, and I responded no, we didn't check-out and all our stuff is still in the room. She actually snatched the key card from me, reactivated it, and said here, with a bit of a nasty attitude.
