The staff wouldn’t let us check in until exactly 4 pm. There was no staff and she said it was because they were busy sanitizing rooms. Our room wasn’t that clean. I had price tags on my bed from someone’s purchase. We stayed a week and had to beg for towels and toilet paper. The toilets are horrible and we had to wait for the next day to ask for plunger. No house service due to corona. They lock the main lobby at night and during the afternoon so if you need something you are sol. TVs didn’t work be brought out game system to watch TV. Breakfast suck so don’t count on that. Oh and our room had so many spiders in it! Worst hotel and service I ever had. The phones don’t work either and good luck finding staff ever. Oh and the hotel is one mile from town so you are better off staying at a different hotel. My friend got a room here too and she hated it and wanted to leave the next day.

I am sorry for your trouble you encountered but you must be talking about a different hotel since every one of our rooms have a microwave/refrigerator combo and we have had no problems with our ice machine in the past year Thank you

Nothing wrong with hotel or staff. Room advertised on-line for $42.?? paid on-line with credit card through travelocity $52.?? receipt and bank statement $62.?? Travelocity agent was very nice, but final funds debited from my account did not reflect my approved authorization or the receipt sent to my e-mail accnt.

I apologize on behalf of my entire team for failing to exceed your expectations. We are trying hard to make our breakfast more appealing. As for a rug in front of the bed I totally agree with you. Sadly enough Choice Hotels doesn’t feel that way and will not permit us to put a rug down. Once again thank you for the feedback

The hotel room was big, clean, and comfortable. It was in a nice and quiet location. The staff was helpful and polite. Didn’t have to worry about noice or security.

Very close to the Helen Waterpark! Excellent!

We had an Amazing trip and experience! The staff "Steve" at Exono lodge was super! The staff was helpful and knowledgeable since we was traveling from out of state! They accommodate me and my family! The rate was affordable, despite the rain we enjoyed the pool! Then we still went to the waterpark less then 20 STEPS AWAY! I recommend this hotel over & over again! We look forward to returning in August before the kids summer is up! And visit BigDaddy burgers (discount with your room key) and PapaPizza! Don't forget to ask for "Steve"@ EconoLodge. He will take care of you! Thanks!! From Bena&KB
