This room was for one night only on the way to our final destination. It was clean, quiet, and average. The breakfast was passable. This property is economical and budget friendly.
Property smelled of smoke, rooms were not clean, and staff was barely helpful.
Room was dirty enough that I asked for a vacuum to clean it myself. The vacuum they gave me was caked in dust (giving the impression they don't use it much). One of the comforters was stained with something red (wine, lipstick...something), but the sheets themselves were clean. The bathtub didn't drain properly and thus by the end of a shower, your feet were taking a bath.
To top it off, the breakfast was a small assortment of muffins, bread/toast, and coffee.

Not sure the pool was even open. Water had suds on it and when I asked at the front desk their reaction was it might not be open for cleaning.
Continental breakfast consisted of Raisin Bran cereal. That was it.
Room colors were disturbing. The green bedspread doesn't go well with the red wall.
Online it says they serve breakfast. What they served was toast and Fruity Pebbles cereal.....no beverages to be found. The pool was open however, online it says they have a hot tub. They do not. Staff was very friendly though!
room was comfortable indoor pool was ice cold i thought an indoor pool would be heated but boy was i wrong toocold for my grandaughters to play in they were dissappointed as was i and the whirlpool was nothing morethan a jet stream shooting out fron the deep end of the pool at both corners the breakfast was only till 9 so missed it as did the next three couples that came in after me they wereexpecting it to last longer i was able to get a coffee and toast but also not happy about missing breakfast it should be open till ten on vacation one shouldnt have to wake up early to have a free breakfast
The room could have been a little cleaner.
We had no TV - cable did not work.
We also had no running water from 11pm-4am.
Beds were comfortable enough, AC was cold.
Stayed for 3 nights for business, decent clean room and free parking. Close to shopping mall and Walmart and restaurants

Our non-smoking room smelled like smoke, but was otherwise clean. The room temperature was fine and beds were acceptable. The toilet tended to overfill rather than flush effectively. The pool and spa were closed. The desk staff were nice. Overall, could have been better but acceptable for the price.
I stayed at the Econolodge for 5 days and my experience was beyond awesome. The people at the front desk were professional and willing to do what was needed to make my stay great.
Staff was great and room service did a wonderful job of cleaning. The parking lot: however, needs to be resurfaced as we had to dodge all kinds of big holes everywhere just to get in to park.
This was the best night stay I've had on a last minute road trip. It was very quite, the bed was comfy and I got my deposit back in about 3 days! I wasn't expecting it because these places usually don't honor it but I did receive my deposit! That and how quite it was deserves a 5 star in my opinion!
Called ahead and ask if they could accommodate me having a senior dog, they did great put me right up next to the door on the lowest level. Very clean and comfortable room.
