Econo Lodge Fallon Naval Air Station Area

Good clean

I chose this hotel because it was within easy walking distance of my business in Fallon. Even though it was about the cheapest you'd find a hotel room anywhere in the country, I still would try to avoid it in future. Its positives are the room rate, no safety issues that I encountered, and the fact that it is an easy walk from the Fallon's downtown business and leisure district (Maine Street). The drawbacks include: - The guy at the front desk understood almost no English. He didn't seem to understand even simple questions and requests. - A $1 charge for each coffee machine cartridge in your room (I have never encountered this before, even in economy hotels). - The orange juice dispenser in the front office was broken, a soda vending machine was semi-broken (would only accept quarters) - in short, the place doesn't seem to be maintained very well. - Wifi is hokey and unreliable. Took ages to load the login page after connecting, after which is was slow and kept kicking me off. I had to use my phone as a hotspot in the end. - The split unit air conditioner was so noisy that I was unable to sleep with it on. Noise from the street outside and adjacent rooms was also loud enough to be a distraction. - The swimming pool was covered and out of use. - The bathroom was worn and dirty (there was a faint blood stain on the toilet seat lid!). If you're on a very tight budget, and/or want to stay within walking distance of downtown Fallon, this place is possibly worth considering. But otherwise, I would head for one of the slightly more upscale hotels within a mile or two on the Lincoln HIghway.
