My boyfriend and I stayed here as part of a roadtrip. We had a nice surprise when we saw that the room looked brand new. Big TV...modern and minimal decoration. Very good for what was paid. The place seems to be a stop for lots of truckers and we saw what we should call shady people, but that's something very subjective. The only problem we had was that the day we were doing the check out we wanted to talk with someone and we didn't saw anybody at the front desk. We waited...and waited...and waited. At the end we decided to leave because we were in a tight schedule.

I was in town visiting family and it was the College World Series going on so every hotel in the area was full. I was stuck staying here and I wouldn't do it again. The hotel stinks from the minute you walk in the front door.. my bed sheets had hair on them that didn't belong to me.. the outlets in the bathroom area didn't work.. I could go on and on. Spend the extra 10 or 20 dollars and stay somewhere else!

OK everyone, let's just remember that this is a MOTEL. With that in mind, and with a few advance preparations, this was an acceptable stay. We were in town for the CWS weekend but not for that- for a wedding. Every place in Omaha was booked!
The location was convenient (right off I-80 & not too far from the downtown area). There was a McDonald's & Farm House breakfast place that was pretty nice practically right next door. (Average breakfast food in a clean/quaint setting with good service). The interior of the motel could really use some help - water-stained ceilings, a fairly large ugly patch of mold growing in the hallway on the first floor. Our first room the sheets were clean & bug free as well as the bathroom. However, there was a funny smell (I thought comparable to the fumes at a cheap nail salon, my husband thought maybe a Freon leak in the A/C). Also the safety bolt was missing & looked like it had been busted clear off of the door and the shower did not work. They actually called us before we called them & upgraded our room. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our new "suite" upstairs had some interesting features (a hole in the wall, a big slice in the living area couch's arm, dried nail polish stains all over the sink counter) however, it did have a clean functional bathroom & clean bed. The shower was actually pretty nice as far as motels go, they had one of those spa curtain rods that bow out so you have a little more room & the shower head gave off hot water with pretty decent water pressure. We got the idea to bring our own clean sheets because of some other reviews, and ended up inserting them between the hotel sheets anyway because our sheets were much softer & more comfy even though the hotel ones were clean. I also brought a soft hand towel for face-washing and plush tissues which added to the comfort of our stay & didn't take much room to pack. We both slept surprisingly very well both nights; the mattress was firm but good for back sleepers. All in all, this would not be our first choice for a place to stay again, but it was budget friendly and in a pinch we might stay again if we had to be in the area & there was nothing else. We would definitely bring our own sheets again, just for the softness and fresh scent of home. :)

Well this was the WORST hotel (and I use the word Hotel loosely) stay I have ever had. The front desk clerk was rude, the rooms were dirty, disorganized, lacking bedding, mostly missing light bulbs. The list is long so I'll cut to the chase. I will NEVER EVER stay at an EconoLodge again. All rooms had missing light bulbs, 1 room the air conditioner/heater had pieces of it laying all over the floor, the second room it was unplugged and the plug was so bent up it could not be plugged in, the final room was missing the blanket and comforter on the bed and the front of the sink/vanity was just raw wood. The gal at the front desk was rude, I had a 4 night reservation and had to have the key to my room reactivated twice. They advertise a "Continental Breakfast", which consisted of tupperware containers of cereal (probably the local grocery store brand) a loaf of bread alongside a toaster with a couple half empty bottles of jam/jelly and coffee pots nearly empty with powdered creamer packets that looked like they had been left over from the korean war. I spoke to the corporate offices and they apologized, thank you corporate. I did not ask for a refund, all I asked for was an apology from the owner/manager/franchisee and never got it.
