No frills, gets it done.

Don’t expect the Ritz. The Hotel served its purpose for our stay. Clean room, fresh towels, a place to sleep. Staff was friendly and helpful. Cost-effective. Convenient and close to downtown. A little noisy next to the highway. But having the air conditioner on that worked well took care of that.. I would stay here again.

My room had all the necessities; a bed, a bathroom and a television. It appear dated and in need of some upgrading, e.g. new coat of paint, modernized bathroom. The bathroom door actually hit the toilet when opening/closing.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were very nice and the bed seemed clean but the bathroom counter and floor were not clean and there appeared to be blood on the shower curtain. No one was there when I checked out to let them know. Also it seems someone was having an argument outside at 4:00 am outside my window making it difficult to sleep.

Quick trip to Poland

The hotel was ok. The outside is not appealing. I would not stay there again for $90. It wasn’t worth it. There is no breakfast bar type thing, not even, coffee in the morning. I get that it is a motel but, again, $90 is not worth it. The signal on the tv was ok. I will say the beds are super comfortable. So overall, it was ok. It was a quick overnight. But definitely not a $90 overnight stay.

The sign on the door said excuse our mess while we renovate but we did not expect no heat, the floor was sticky. The furnishings were very old. The lamp shade had holes in it. It appeared they recently painted and did not clean when they were done. The front desk employee did not know how to check us in. He had to call someone to walk him through the process. We were super tired so we decided just one night we could bear it. We put all the blankets on one bed. The sheets appeared new and very clean. The only thing good about the situation.

I wish I could submit pictures. Location and atmosphere is what concerned me. I am 70 traveling alone. When I made reservation, I didn't realize the room entry was from outside. I worked through Expedia to cZncel room and rebook in another hotel. Expedia was good to work with but Econo Lodge would not refund. The online pictures were nice but misleading...it said free parking connected to a shopping center....WRONG.. it sat in the middle of the interstate off ramp .area surrounded completely by road...look at it from google maps. I should have read the reviews first ...scary I cannot comment on the rooms, cuz I wouldn't go in. Look at pics on Google. I would recommend Expedia remove them from options
