Stayed here for one night with 5 kids. Indoor pool was very cold and hot tub was almost as cold. No pool towels were available. Rooms were big and clean. Two queen beds in each room were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very limited and was actually completely cleaned out and not serviced. After waiting, they eventually brought out more... More

I was appalled to see the garbage can at the front door overflowing with trash, which spilled out along the side of the entrance and onto the walkway. Filth also in the hallways and rooms! I HAVE PICS

Hubby and three other couples taking our vintage cars to a show. Nice clean rooms, great location and a very safe and well lighted parking lot with lots and lots of room. Arrived Friday night and left Sunday. Can't say enough about everything for the great price of $49.95. We will come back!!

The old adage, "you get what you pay for" so often holds true with Hotels. Having said that, the Econo Lodge in Merrillville, OH was very good place to stay for the price. The room was clean and that staff was very polite and accommodating. Furthermore, the Continental Breakfast was really not bad at all for a low budget hotel.... More

We had problems before checking in. The place was under new management and at first didn't want to honor a group rate for a block of rooms. Key cards didn't work and had to get replacements several times. My room was OK but not great. Ran out of TP and no spare roll. The "breakfast" was awful, so bad that... More

My company booked me in for three days as I was making the rounds of our company owned service stations. I looked up this website and read the reviews. As someone that on the road a lot I could not have been more pleased. The facility was very clean, friendly and up to date. I would have to disagree with... More

We visit family in this area fairly often and this is one of the cheaper, decent places in the area. The lady at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. We had a slight issue with an item that was left in the cabinet in our room by the previous guest but she was very... More

This place was the host hotel for our reunion. The nicest thing was the outside, dining area, and the staff. Our room appeared to be clean, but it had a musty smell. We had a suite, and the sleeper sofa mattress was horrible. There was no hot water, extra towels, or pillows. They said that it was under new management... More
