Clean and well kept. Mattress was worn as it slumped in the center. Other than that very nice.

Poor quality.
Room seemed clean when we walked in. Then saw dirty mirror, dusty frig, and a burn spot in the microwave. Tried to shower in the morning and couldn’t pull the shower knob to open the water flow out of the shower head. Luckily, my daughter who was with me could get it open, but not enough for good water pressure. The shower head was too small for any type of pressure. The soap dispenser in the shower was empty. Breakfast was lacking in variety. Bread was 4 days old, orange juice was warm and tasted awful. I will not stay at this Econo Lodge again.

Basic but good
Reasonable price for passing thru, needing a clean place to shower and sleep for a night. Breakfast not fancy but sufficient.

For the price we were pleasantly surprised. The check in was pretty simple, although there was no hair dryer in the room the desk clerk was able to supply one, the room was comfortable, and there was a pretty good breakfast although it seems it's put out at 0530 and not checked or attended until it's shut down at 1000. Yes, it was apparent that this property has had some moisture problems, there were air fresheners in the hall to help cover the musty smell and it was unclear if the odd scent of licorice in the room was a cover scent or something used to remediate mildew, but it wasn't bad. There was a DampRid hanging in the clothes area. I did not see nor smell any actual mold or mildew so kudos for that. I'd book here again if I was in the area.

Due to miscommunication between staff and management we had to change rooms 3 times before we finally found a clean room.
