I travel a lot and use the choice reward program... I try to avoid Econo lodges because... well most I've been in are 2 star or less. I booked my room knowing I'd be in late, traveling with kids who would be tired. Wanted to get them to the room really fast. Got in about 10:30pm stood at the front... More

In town for the Glass Blown Open 2013. My single king room on the West side of building was satisfactorily clean. The walls in the room were quite thin. I showered mostly in the evening and the water pressure and heat were fine. I saw no bugs. CRT TV. Breakfast is indeed paltry as others have consistently mentioned. Convenient location... More

I admit my expectations were not very high, based upon some of the reviews here. I only needed to stay one night so I decided to go ahead and book it. Check-in was efficient and I was very pleasantly surprised to find a room that was actually quite nice. It was quiet and felt fresh and clean--not a fingerprint or... More

We had been on a 2 week traveling vacation and had very good experiences with other econolodges country-wide. We made reservations online where we figured we would stop for the night. Check in was quick with attentive service. Our room was clean, but furnished with what appeared old and very dated furniture. The A/c worked well, thank goodness! But it... More

I did not like this place. Yes its cheap but is that really worth dealing with spiders and pill bugs? Not in my opinion. When we turned on the both sinks a spider came out before the water. It was disgusting. The shower was dirty, I turned it on and it made this grinding noise that was so loud. The... More

We usually stay here twice a year when passing through to Texas. Some things could use some updating -- the wallpaper is starting to peel in some of the bathrooms, carpet is showing wear in hallways, etc. But, beds and pillows are comfy and location is very quiet, away from I-35 noise. Rooms have frig & microwave. Breakfast is basic... More

In the first room they gave us, the sheets had not been changed, there was urine all over the rim of the toilet and sticky soda on the table. The second room they gave us was clean, but . . . The toilet seat was very loose and uncomfortable to sit on. I couldn't use the shower. First, it took... More

Ths is supposed to be a pet friendly motel but janitor ranted about Americans and their dogs that are dirty & smelly and how those who have dogs will get nothing when they pray to God. Also, dozens of dead crickets enter room via gap under door, gather & die in room & jump on beds while sleeping at night.... More

This place has blazingly fast wifi (5MB/second), but the second floor is really hot. They don't turn on the AC in the rooms, so our room was a furnace that took a long time to cool on a hot day. The hallways are also beastly hot, even though it was a cool night. Otherwise, it is a typical you get... More
