Probably the saddest place I’ve ever stayed. Two flies greeted us upon entering the room. It smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The grate on the AC was broken, the fan in the bathroom sounded like a tin can being beaten relentlessly. The satellite signal reminded me of dial up internet. The corners of the bathroom had a wedge of dirt. The kind you look at and ponder how many people ignored the obvious. I will say the front desk man was super sweet and informative.

I hesitated to book a room at an Econolodge. I wanted a room a at a budget price. This Econolodge provided us with a great room at a budget price. It was very modern and clean. The room was stylish and inviting. It could not have been nicer and compared to rooms at hotels costing much more. We highly recommend it.

Staff was very nice and check in was easy. The property is easy to get to and convenient, but very old and dingy. Walls are paper thin so it’s a bit noisy. Cost was a bit high for the quality of stay.
