More about the hotel
Great deal, nice room
We stopped at this hotel at the end of a long trip. We were tired and we're looking for a reasonable place to stay. I must say, for the price I wasn't expecting much, but was very surprised and pleased with our room. It was clean, had a nice stand-up shower, a d more amenities than expected. The bed was super comfortable so we got a good night's sleep before our last 8 hours of driving. The staff was great. They had a very simple breakfast due to care taken over the COVID-19 precautions. All in all, we were pleased and would consider staying there again if we are traveling through.
It'll Do for a Night
I went here in September and stayed for a night. Nothing too fancy or anything, just did well for what it was worth. It's a cheap stay for a hotel. Looks like per pictures since then they have remodeled. I would stay again.
Exactly what we needed when we needed it.
My son and I were in a serious traffic accident - I was injured, the car was totaled, an we were 300 miles from home. After I was discharged from the ER, we had to find an inexpensive place to stay for the night. It was after midnight by then, but we called Econo Lodge and learned had rooms available, so we cabbed it there. Check-in was easy and friendly. The price was affordable. The room was very clean and the beds we fell into almost immediately were comfortable -- we both slept well. Breakfast in the morning was... well, at least the area was clean and there was plenty of coffee! And when it was time to check out, they let us stay in the breakfast area until our ride home arrived from out of state. Bottom line: Look folk; It's an Econo Lodge. It's an inexpensive, fairly bare bones motel, exactly what you should expect for the price. But in a fairly dire situation, it was EXACTLY what we needed. We were warm, comfortable, and safe. And we were treated very kindly by all the staff we encountered from start to finish. I'm very grateful.
Good value, great location
Clean room, friendly staff, pet friendly for a small fee, warm & clean pool, clean breakfast area. Great location close to shopping and Campustown. The only negative was the bed comfort, the mattress was not great but for the price I would stay again in a heartbeat. I loved the noon checkout time and 11pm pool close. We had plenty of time to enjoy the amenities before having to clear out.
Family visit
BED BUGS!!!! And I was charged for the room even though I was told there would be no charge. I did not stay overnight. I left immediately when I found a bed bug. Don't stay there. Sick! I called the health department.
