    There wasn’t breakfast that we knew of. Didn’t know.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was cheap! I still feel i over paid. The location was decent. It looked like someone had kicked in the bathroom door more than once. The tv didn't work, no smoke alarm, their was wires hanging out of the ceiling where it should have been The bathtub had been painted and was very slick to shower in.

    The lady at the front desk was perfect and accommodating nice even though I saw other staff yelling at her, she took it as professional as she could with customers around. The housekeeping staff didn't speak English and shown up at my room 45 minutes before check out asking when we were going to leave.

    I arrived in the evening there were people hanging around outside the building partying. That's fine but, at 11 things were still noisy such as people revving their car engine and fireworks being set off. The floors were dirty and I don't think the sheets had been changed as I found someone's wallet the next morning between the mattress and wall under the pillows. How was this missed if they changed the sheets. My covers had burn marks as well as the tub. I never saw a continental breakfast either. I did mention these things to the desk clerk and she refunded me $15. I think I will stay somewhere else next time. Econo Lodge you need to do better. Your staff was great but, your place needs some updating.

    Wound up leaving in the middle of the night. Guests running their cars right next to my room. Party going on next doo. Felt very unsafe.

    Front desk lady was very friendly and even alerted me to an incredible rainbow that I was able to take a picture of before it vanished. This picture brightened the day for many of my family & friends! The room did not have a sink stoppers but was otherwise comfortable.

    It's convenient location. The lady up front Kelly was very nice. I didn't like not having a vending machine but sodas were available downstairs for sale at the front desk.

    Parking was easy. Rooms were old and not very clean. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was only toast.

    Parking was great didnt stay for breakfast

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The lobby was surprisingly nice. Both evening staff and morning staff were semi-asleep at the desk. Both were respectful. The room (117) door weatherstripping was mostly missing. Allowing air & outside noise easily thru. Huge stain on the chair. Bathroom door would not latch. The tub/shower was wornout. Looks like it may have been painted previously. Ample supply of tp! Walls did not stop hearing the man snoring in the adjacent room. Ceiling did not stop hearing footsteps above. Beds were hard. No boxspring. With the exception of the stain on the chair, the room & linens appeared to be clean, just in poor shape. The continental breakfast was sparse. All-in-all I got what I paid for.

    Parking was ok unfortunately the room was filthy and terrible but the staff was very friendly and accommodating overall it was ok but i wouldn’t stay again

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The hotel could use some updates. The fan in pur bsthroom was hanging from the ceiling by a wire. The girl at the front desk was so friendly making our check in and check out so easy.

    Poor

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    staff was good at their jobs. Room needs to be deep cleaned from top to bottom. for the price I paid it was less the expected.
