Econo Lodge & Suites

This is an Econolodge. I didn’t expect luxury. It was conveniently located, quiet and fine for a solo person staying a few nights. It was, however, shabby and not very clean. The hallway and stair carpets weren’t vacuumed; I walked past the same debris and visible dirt on them every day. There were stains of liquids on the room walls that a few wipes with a Magic Eraser sponge would have removed. Sills and baseboard trim had noticeable dust, and the upholstery on the room furniture was stained to the point where I put towels on it before sitting. The staff seemed always to be watching TV or just sitting around, so that during busy breakfast times, the dining area ran out of coffee, and tables weren’t wiped. The apple juice dispenser dispensed only water, even on the second day after I’d alerted the desk. Another guest commented that there was no jam or jelly or peanut butter, so the only option for toast spread was butter or cream cheese. A number of the hanging and potted plants at the entrance were dead or dying. If the staff of owners put in a small amount of effort (vacuum the stairs and hallway carpets daily, wipe the walls, touch up scraped trim paint, water the plants, wipe down tables, supply jam and keep coffee refilled during breakfast), this econolodge would be charming. I hope they will take this to heart.

This a good place to stay for the budget hotel, clean nice size room with separate living room from bedroom, two TV’s, good hot water pressure, small sink by mini fridge microwave, plenty of cable channels, adequate continental breakfast and area to eat. Spent 2 nights, easy check in nice hosts, would stay again if in the area. 5 stars for this budget hotel.

The check in was quick and everyone was very friendly. The first room we were given when we opened the door there was some machine in the room a little box either a dehumidifier or something else. We went to the desk to inform them and it seemed that the room we were given was supposed to be blocked off. They gave us a different room and asked us to inspect the room to ensure everything was in order. The second room was right down the hall and was clean and in order. There was a bottle of lotion left at the top inside the shower so that seems to have been overlooked during the cleaning. The water pressure was great in the whole room. The only other thing was that I booked the room with three adults and there were only enough towels for two adults. It would be nice if that would have been noticed upon check-in to see if we needed anything additional instead of having to go back and forth to the desk multiple times.
