Very pleasant stay. The hotel is a little dated but it was very clean. The staff is extremely helpful and even were able to accommodate a slightly early check in. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in the area.

had reserved a handicap accessible room but upon arrival was informed that none were available and the only room they had was on the 3rd floor with no elevator available. DUH! hey finally gave us an accessible room but said that it had been having some toilet problems but though it was fixed.. it wasn't. Finally got a room on 2nd floor that took me 15 minutes to get up the stairs. but room was fine, just not the stairs.

Disappointed
When we got there people were partying in the parking lot.Room had holes in the wall,roof was caving in and floors looked like they could use a good cleaning.Then people were banging on the walls thru the night. Finally fell asleep early in the morning only to be woken up by men yelling at each other outside our door. This used to be a decent place, not anymore!!

This was our second time staying here. We stayed 1 night last year and decided to stay again. This time we stayed 2 nights for our anniversary. To our surprise , we were given the same room that we got last time. The staff was very nice. It was a quiet place to get away from home. The location is perfect. It's close to everything. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax, then this a good place to stay. The rooms are small but they are clean. Perfect size for just 2 people. We will definitely be going back in the future. Thank you Econo Lodge for helping to make our anniversary special!!

Meh
Obviously, there had been a brawl in Rm 130 at some point, and the management sort of repainted, and housekeeping sort of cleaned up afterward. The pool that is advertised is closed, there is no ice maker, and it was tough getting a third set of towels for the room, though it was clearly indicated that there were 3 in our party from the get go.

The room we stayed in was dirty. Floors has not been sweep nor moped. Holes on the walls, patches on walls. We booked for 2 Queen beds, beds was NOT queen. Beds were full size. We didn't get house cleaning. So lesson learned for me. Never ever will go to that place. I get what i paid 😕

The room was mediocre and generic. I would expect the price to be cheaper. I lost a ring behind the bed. I pulled the bed mattress back and it was very filthy. I wouldn’t not stay at this hotel in the future.

The fridge had been unplugged and we noticed this when we opened it to use it and there was a bag of something liquid in the back and the smell was so bad I shut it as fast as I could. It was 1:30 in the am so we don’t say anything but it was soo bad I had to throw up then we got up next am and the toilet wouldn’t flush in two of the rooms.
