The owner or staff manager waited for my husband to step out of room to come to my room knock and ask if we were still occupying room. I guess his cleaning staff told him we took our stuff when we left to enjoy our day and he wanted to rent out. I paid for Friday thru Sunday and he came to see if we were still in room. Inappropriate!!!! Especially waiting for me to be alone!

I got the worst customer service I've ever had at a hotel anywhere. The room was marginally clean. The beds were horrible; I could actually feel the springs inside the mattress. The individual at the front desk was rude and abrasive. I will never stay at any Econo Lodge anywhere.

Great stay but they don't enforce their rules.

Check in was effortless. It was very easy to check in and out. The people who were at the front desk were very nice and welcoming.One thing I would say is they say they are a smoke free place but had multiple people smoking outside rooms so the smell of smoke would linger a bit and with a baby it's kinda bad .

The hotel is really clean and the cleaning people did a great job of cleaning my room. I had reserved a king, single bed-room and they had given me a key to a room on the first floor that was already occupied. Lobby staff were not very apologetic. I got downgraded to a queen room on the second floor. Overall, I liked it and had a good experience.
