“Good Economy stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Our room was clean. Breakfast was pretty picked over by the time we got up (late). Girls sports team roaming hallways and talking on cell phones in the morning. Opened door and one was laying outside our room on her back on phone talking. Kinda weird, but we slept well at a great price.

“Not too bad for the money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Room was clean, bed and bedding were very comfortable. I usually am a very restless sleeper when it comes to hotels, but I honestly slept straight thru the night. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. There were plenty of muffins, rolls, bread and cereal to chose from in the morning. I would stay again.

Stayed July 2011, travelled with family

“Not happy with this motel!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2011

It was not well maintained outside, part of the sign is missing The room is clean but very old and outdated. Like the previous person wrote they only put a couple slices of bread or donuts at a time and they don't supply plastic cups with the ice bucket. I will not stay there again.

“Suprised - in a good way...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010

I have to admit - I was leary about staying here. The price seemed too good and the fact it was an Econo Lodge is always a concern - but I gave it a whirl. Not too bad of a hotel, I must say.

The room was very clean, the guy at the front desk was very pleasant (even saw him walk someone down to the ice machine who couldn't find it), and everything went well. It was a great place to stop and rest in between travel locations for me.

Only issue would be the breakfast bar. The management only puts out one or two of everything at a time. You know - they had one piece of bread, two muffins, one bagel, etc. out at a time. As soon as a person or two would go get breakfast, they would replace the one or two items they took for the next person. Trying to be thrifty, I guess, but it seemed a bit cheap. Other than that minor issue, the stay was great - and I really can't complain for what I paid!

(I travel all over the country with my job, and I contribute on EVERY hotel I stay in. Trip Advisor has been a great tool for me, and I contribute fairly, for both good and bad facilities.)
