We stayed at this Econolodge for two nights, September 6-7, 2025. The room was clean and equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave. The room space was adequate. I was disappointed that there weren’t any rooms designated as non-pet/animal. There is a coffee maker in the office, but tea and bottled water were not provided. Tea, hot water, and bottled water is standard in the places I’ve stayed.

Rooms were ok...

The lobby had an overwhelming smell of moth balls. I had to wait 10 min to check in because the receptionist made a food run. The rooms were decent but certainly nothing spectacular. The remote was broken.

Could not stay here. Disgusting.

The first room offered. The air conditioner was very loud. Definitely something wrong with it. The second room offered. Lots of dead and live flies in the room around the window. Was offered a third room but after seeing the first two along with all the trash in the back parking lot, I decided to leave. Didn’t stay there even though I wouldn’t get a refund.
