Older buildings with lots of wear and tear. The internet wasn’t working the night I stayed. The price though was significantly lower than other places in the area
This is a frequent stop for us. We like the Econo Lodge very much. Any issues we have had are quickly resolved. We like the staff and we loved the attached restaurant. it is amazing
We don't need a fancy place and this fits the bill

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was a brief heavy rainstorm and the parking lot was so flooded we could not get out to our car. A bare-footed employee, coming in from outside, warned us about the water.
I had a pleasant stay at Econo Lodge! The staff was friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome. The cleaning was top-notch; my room was always tidy. The restaurant served delicious meals, adding to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend it for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

There was a nice restaurant there but the continental breakfast was poor. Plumbing needs work and the room heater was noisy and couldn’t be adjusted.
