Liked: Staff & service
The room was very small. The flooring had been replaced but was coming up and in poor condition. Rather expensive for what tou got.
The front desk personnel were super helpful with tourism ideas and the rest of the staff were friendly. The room was clean and the hotel location was good for driving to attractions.
We just needed it as a place to sleep for the night while traveling.
There was tons of loud running above us. It was hard to sleep for the seven hours we were there.

Meet expectations - value for the money spent. Desk clerk was wonderful, friendly and efficient
Overall, the stay was comfortable and thus is a good value for the price. The AC works very well, which was nice in summer and the curtains block out a lot of light. I the area felt reasonably safe.
One heads up (not related to the hotel itself) but I did notice that when booking through hotels.com that from the perspective of staff that I was booking through another service. There was also a different credit card on file that was not my own that the third party booking service apparently uses when reserving, a type of card that I do not have. My address was also slightly incorrect. These compounding factors caused confusion and concern on my part and was something that I did not experience before while booking. But again, this is not due to the staff or hotel but the third party service. I was able to get a hold of someone from hotels.com that confirmed this was a misunderstanding on my part and was ultimately not a cause for concern.
I appreciate the staffs patience in explaining to me.
Clean room with good TV. No ice bucket and ice machine not working. Pool appeared to be abandoned. Continental breakfast was almost nonexistent with no juice or yogurt even.
Facility shows decline. I hope they get busy and correct. A family type operation that needs help. People were courteous.
Tub had hair that wasn’t ours, top of tub needed to be wiped, too many electrical extensions with plugs in hanging in the vanity area (fire danger), small item sticking out of area where bathroom light switch was gave me a shock.
I hesitated to book a room at an Econolodge. I wanted a room a at a budget price. This Econolodge provided us with a great room at a budget price. It was very modern and clean. The room was stylish and inviting. It could not have been nicer and compared to rooms at hotels costing much more. We highly recommend it.
The rooms were not clean. Very run down. The room safes don’t work. There was not a double lock on the door. One room had a brown liquid coming thru the floor boards. I would not recommend staying at the this location.
