If you are looking for breakfast included then this is not the place for you. Hostess honey buns and cinnamon rolls are it. Otherwise very basic simple hotel.

I'm not a big fan of Motels overall. This was reasonable for the price. It was clean enough and the staff was friendly. It seemed to be more of a place for truckers and people just needing a place to crash, like me.

They claim to have laundry but don't. Came down 3 times for "Breakfast" to no coffee and an empty bowl for whatever was supposed to be in it (fruit?). Zero security. Allowed a crowd of "workers" to sit outside and drink and be loud into the early morning hours that left 100's of beer bottles everywhere. Came out to trash all over my vehicle tossed from floor above. Burnt out lights in the room, receptacles that didn't work. Broken towel rack, shower curtain didn't fit so water everywhere. Broken TV remote. Curtains ducktaped to the wall. Zero complaint resolution - just got shoulder shrugs as they were too busy on the phone discussing their own personal business. Morning desk agent (owner? that wouldn't get off phone) Parked they're brand new Corvette diagonally taking up the entire carport so that no one else could go through there and load/unload while it was beginning to rain. There were cheaper options out there but I'm not so sure there could have been anything worse out there!!

1. When we checked in they told us they could not give us a room because our credit card was declined. 2. Had receipt for payment to my card. We had to call Expedia and talk to them. 3. Expedia keep putting us on hold finally after 1hr they got Expedia and checked us in.4 4. Room was neat but cricket in bath tub, roach crossing floor between the 2 beds. Loud ac unit. A terrible nights sleep. 5. Don't think I will use Expedia again.

The name says it all, “Econo” Lodge. The building and rooms are old and dated, but clean. Bed was comfortable but the sitting chairs could use a good cleaning. Breakfast was very basic, cereal,bananas and some kinda of pre packed bun. To the person who complained of bugs and gave the hotel a bad rating, why did you stay 4 nights? This is the problem with reviews.

Refund on room
Th room had crickets running around, the tub was dirty on the bottom floor of the tub along with a black stIn on the side of it. I was grossed out andfekt unsanitary. Istayef awake until 430 am dreading getting in the bed to sleep. If you dont mind staying in those conditions, its the place t stay, personally it was a horrible stay and night without sleep and forget about showering.

Nice for one night.
Room was clean. Staff friendly. Location good. No in room coffee, which would be nice. Tv would operate properly. Only able to get one channel. Nice for just grabbing a quick sleep, but not long term. Would probably use again but only if other options unavailable.

Horrible!!!!
The place was horrible. A/C did not work. Microwave was unusable. Everything was dirty (See pictures). Mattress was to big for the base. Absolutely, never coming back.
The picture is the cleanest part. No way could one sit in this.
Curtain was falling apart
Fridge smelled and could not close properly.

Clean room, Nice room, We liked that the flooring that was NOT the notorious grungy motel carpet - it was a nice sort of tile floor. The staff was friendly and helpful as they could be and responsive to our requests. Our only "problems" we had were the lights in the bathroom did not work - and then worked, and then didn't work. We found someone elses pubic hair in the bottom of the bath tub. We also found the shower curtain rod laying in the bath tub and the shower curtain was folded on the sink - The shower curtain rod was broken and could not be reinstalled after 5pm on a Friday. Which meant we could NOT take showers - and we REALLY wanted to! But other than that - it was a nice experience and we are willing to give them another chance sometime. We understand that "stuff happens". It was a busy Friday night and they just didn't have anyone available to "fix things" at that time of day on a Friday evening. The staff was friendly, responsive and apologetic. But life sometimes throws you curve balls.... And we would go back...

What a rip off $80 for a room that I stayed in from 5:30am checked in after being on the road driving for several hours til 11am check out but around 6am it was noisy as hell, and I couldn’t sleep from the upstairs rooms and outside noise. For the price I paid for the room, I should have been able to sleep!

One night stay
It was one night, too much construction vehicles in parking lot. The continental breakfast was at all not to its standards. Only coffee, bananas and muffins were served, no juice or milk. The online ad said that breakfast will be served till 11 a.m. while it was served till 9 a.m. (6 to 9 a.m.).
