Beware -- This hotel is still listed as "Kelly Inn" in some phone books; Kelly Inn changed location 2 years ago but Econo Lodge hasn't updated their listing. We made the mistake of making a phone reservation thinking it was Kelly Inn. When we tried to cancel the reservation, we were informed that they have a 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY.... More
