Everything was okay up until the last night. Spotted roaches in the room
This is the second time we have stayed here and both times we have been happy with our stay. The staff was helpful and friendly. the rooms are as pictured and comfortable.
Remember you are not paying top dollar so don't expect all the luxuries. Good hotel for the price.

This hotel was better than alot of cheap hotels i have stayed at they were polite and clean on site laundry and close to other businesses. The women up front terry was very helpful for me and my 2 year old .we had a great week at the econolodge!!
The room was in decent condition for the price. It smelled clean and looked clean in the lobby. Hotel attendant was kind and informative. The shower was clean which is always a big one for me. Now I did notice a strong cigarette smell upon entering into the hallway that led to the rooms. We were in a non smoking room so it didn’t smell thank God. They do charge a $50 deposit cash or card. My biggest issue was the site said they have breakfast, and there was literally NOTHING! Not even a coffee machine! But overall you get what you pay for. I just needed one night to shower and rest.
