3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2013

Giving this 3 stars, though I could easily give it 2. My room was clean enough. It didn't cost much. Those are the positives. The building is old and very run down, inside and out. I knew that going in, but only needed a place to sleep and then move on. Don't think I would have stayed here if I... More

Our room at this hotel was a disappointment. The overhead light over the bathroom sink only worked part of the time. The pillows were so flat that we had to ask for additional pillows. The room was freezing cold when we arrived, so we had to turn the noisy heater up full blast to warm up the room. Of course,... More

We did a quick stay here overnight on a road trip. When we arrived there wasn't anyone at the front desk, but we could see someone in the back room. Then a teenager came and checked us in, but I don't think he wanted to be there. When we opened the door to our room the lights didn't work, but... More

This Econo Lodge is average all the way, but we got a free night with our Choice Hotels points, so we were okay with it. The place is pretty beat around the edges, but we did not encounter the cleanliness issues that other reviewers have mentioned. The bed and shower were OK, the wi-fi worked fine, and the TV had...

We arrived in the afternoon, the parking lot was deserted......which should have taken the clue and kept on driving but we had made a reservation. The exterior looked awful. The corridors were dismal. The room was dusty and dirty, it smelled of dirt. The bed was like a trampoline and had a frame that stuck out right where you sit... More

Was disappointed in cleanliness, service and quality of this hotel. I wasn't expecting a four star hotel, but yuk! As far as cleanliness. Visible food/ trash particles on ragged carpeting, visible dirt all over blow dryer and several long dark hairs all over room. Beds were broken down and the clerk did not make eye contact at check in or... More

Our room was dirty and smelled bad. There were even someone else's dirty clothes hanging in the bathroom. Did the housekeeper not see them when she cleaned?? The beds were hard and the pillows lumpy. One of the desk clerks was rude to us.

We reserved this room ahead of time knowing we would be staying after a 13 hour drive. We went cheap knowing we wouldn't have time to take advantage of any amenities. The bathroom was up-to-date and clean. The rest of the room was outdated. It had old hunter green carpet and an old bed with flat pillows. We fell asleep... More

We were stranded as highway 80 closed to the East. The Econolodge room was small but adequate for our needs. The linnens were clean but threadbare with a few holes.. but it was clean enough to meet my standards. We were comfortable and slept well. There was a refrigerator in the room but we didn't use it as we were... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I have passed on your comments to the owner, who has promised us new bedding will be ordered soon. Thank you for your concern about the milk. The pitcher that the milk sits in is somewhat deceptive in appearance. It may not look like the milk is... More

I stay here every year, for the last 4 years now over Memorial Weekend. I really like it, I love the river walk way across the street, the continental breakfast, the upgrades they have been doing and the price is great! I can walk to main street from here. I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to sleep and... More
