This is an older Econolodge, but all was fine and clean. It has some signs of wear. I have stayed multiple occasions since my daughter attends the local college. Breakfast was basic and the room was fine. Nice flat screen tv on the wall. The beds are pretty comfortable..

This is an older Econolodge, but all was fine and clean. It has some signs of wear, but all told I would stay here again in a minute. Breakfast was basic and the room was fine.

Booked this hotel threw my choice privileges and when we got there their was hardy any parking room. We got in the room and you could hear everyone walking up stairs. There was mold in the shower around the plastic Handel and the water would only get Luke warm. The microwave was dirty. The sink looked like crap.

We were looking for an inexpensive hotel for a night and this fit that just fine. It is basic, but it was clean and quiet. There was a mini fridge and a microwave. Easy parking, interior doors, and an indoor pool. The free breakfast was standard fare including pastries, bagels and a waffle maker. The bathroom was very small and... More

Was passing through on a work trip, landed the hotel later in the evening for a few hours of rest. Literally slept and left. Was ridiculously charged for apparent carpet damage and other made up charges for someone to make a quick $50 vandalism charge! Hotel was disgusting, it was late, and should have stayed in my truck! False charges... More

Booked an overnight here during Kent State visit. Hotel seems to have "temporary" long term residents, smoking is permitted and the facilities are perfectly disgusting. The rooms were filthy, and we were afraid to sleep on the beds. We were provided two very aged towels and half bottle of shampoo as amenities in the bath. Over my next 4 years... More

I am disgusted that I paid over $100 (plus tax) for a room. I am very happy with "budget" hotels. However, this place was filthy. I was horrified when I got to the room. The smell of smoke was overpowering. Other issues in the room that were problematic: the light by the door did not work -- I had to... More
