Econo Lodge Cleveland Southeast - Kent

8/10 Good

"For the money, the stay wasn't bad. I like that there was hardwood floors and not carpet, bathroom was updated. There was a slight smell in the room. I did have to ask for a blanket, the bedding was just a sheet and a very paper thin bedspread"

"Easily accessed. Quick check in. Breakfast was so so - had a pretty good variety. Wasn't really special. We ask for housekeeping the morning after. We got there and they made the beds and put in towels, but no extra coffee. No more face wipes, no more cups. Just what kind of did the bar necessity? I guess"
