Clean room in an older hotel. Breakfast juice was not cold at all, would actually say it was warm. Very limited breakfast items. Bed comfortable. Heat/cool hard to regulate to constant comfortable temperature. Water was nice and hot in shower. Overall an ok place to stop for the night with comfy bed and hot water.

Alright for the cost

I booked using one of those discount sites and wasn't disappointed. Check-in was easy and when I told the clerk I had two new knees he gave me a handicapped room on the first floor. I got in the room and it was already at a comfortable level. There was a micro fridge, hair drier and normal toiletries, no coffee, although there was coffee in the lobby. There was WiFi and cable. The shower was great and the bed was comfortable. There was a continental breakfast in the morning.

Couldn't check in due to age policy. Was totally unaware. 20 years old, an adult, but can't stay in a hotel alone? Can enlist in the military, but not have a hotel? Maybe not Econo Lodge's fault, WTH

This is the worst property to stay at the owner is RUDE and he will steal your money. His workers are kids they will go through and steal personal items. The room I was in had bugs smushed inside of the TV and in the bathroom. Also his smoking rooms feel like they had bedbugs….you will be itching all night!
