Econo Lodge Worthington

Nervous to stay in the hotel. Didn't feel safe, reminded me of bates motel. Charged me a $10 verification fee after I already paid WAY too much for the cheap hotel room. Staff was rude.

The room was what I expected -- nothing great but nothing bad. Towels were soft. Toilet was hard to flush and actually found a $20 bill clogging it up when I first got there. Strange. When someone nearby smoked it filled our room. But really, it was a fine room.

You get what you pay for. It's a no frills, but CLEAN, budget motel. On the plus side, the room comes with a decent sized refrigerator and small microwave, wi-fi and continental breakfast. I needed a place to crash while I was in town for a conference, and it suited my needs perfectly.

The room was clean and pleasing, and it was non-smoking as requested,. The bed was comfortable. The sheets were crisp and clean. It was a cold night and try as I may, I could not keep the heating unit running. When it did run, the wornout bearings in the unit made it sound as if a tractor-trailer was coming through the windows. Unfortunately, you had to get to your room by running a gauntlet of the stairwells and halls that stank from people smoking there. The stale stench that assaults you as you enter the stairwell and/or hall is alarming. Moreover, the carpeting in the halls was stained, dirty and beyond worn out. The coffee in the morning was weak and tepid, but the rest of the offerings were fresh, tasty and satisfying.

No hot water

Hotel is showing its age. Typical budget motel room, everything adequate but no more than that. Front desk did not automatically provide wi-fi password, and the handset on the room telephone was broken, so a little difficulty communicating with the outside world. I was in town on business and spent little time in the room other than to sleep, so it was worth the money spent, but next time I'll probably pay a little more for a hotel in a little better condition. Staff was very nice and very accommodating, it's the property itself.

Things were fairly clean in the room. However, overall maintenance of the room / stairs / halls was minimal. The continental breakfast consisted of toast, low-end store bought danish/muffins, coffee and juice. However, if you are seeking an economical night's stay, this would be sufficient.

Great Hotel, Roomy rooms, and comfortable...only wish there was a coffee pot in the room.
