The location of the property was good for our fishing trip. The condition of the hotel was much less than expected for the price we had to pay.

The room could use some minor maintenance. Loose sink handle, A/C cover lying next to A/C outside, and tiles coming loose tiles in bathroom.

Overnight Stay
Pros:Usually O.K.
Cons:See experience.
Location:Not applicable
No room was ready on my arrival around 4:30 p.m. I waited ten minutes while the room was cleaned. There was no table in the room, both bedside light did not work and it took nearly an hour to get dead bulbs replaced. The floor was composite wood. Had I not been staying for just one night I would have moved. I have stayed at this motel on numerous previous occasion without incident.

Hello, we are sorry that you had an unpleasant stay .however we would like to address a few things. when you checked in, you request a non smoking king ground floor , which wasn't ready at that time because of late checked out guest and we offered you other alternatives so we could get you a room right when you got here but you said that you didn't mind waiting for the room. also, we currently in the process of remodeling the rooms to comply with Choice Hotels new changes and they have asked for the rooms to be switched from carpet to LVT floor. I would like to apologize about the light taking some time to change, we will take note of that and notify maintenance so we do not make that mistake again. we hope that you give us another chance to serve you in future.

First time Experience
Pros:The very very clean rooms, some of the front desk staff
Cons:Putting a computer in the lobby.
Location:Movies, Ice cream , malls, Beaches, Restaurants, shopping all with in reasonable driving .
Lets get the "negatives" out of the way!! No complimentary coffee every day when room was cleaned.
On the 18th (day before we were to leave) the 2nd shift front desk , ( a older woman) could NOT help me print boarding pass's. She said the computer was "hotel usage only'. However ...the other Front desk ladies would look up points of interest and help me any how if needed. I would have given a perfect 5 on front desk had it not been for that experience .
NOW THE POSITIVES!!!!!!! Our room was clean and spacious EVERY DAY!!. The front desk ladies accodimated my needs with a first floor room.
The rest of the staff was extremely pleasant . The pool was also nice. I mostly appreciated drinking coffee in the lobby and socializing with the front desk when they were not busy. All in All, we had a good experience.

Not the best.
When I stayed here for 2 nights and three days, the room reeked of smoke and smelled muggy and moldy. I got sick for staying there. Although the staff was nice and the place looked okay, it is not worth staying there if if gets you sick!

Aggrivating . Don't stay here
Econo Lodge should revolke their franchise.
1..Bathroom: Peeling paint and wallpaper and bottom of toilet bowl has not seen a scrub brush for a while!
2. Room - just ok. Big half patched depression in the wall.
3. check in - Clerk did not have exact change for cash, so he shorted me 30 cents instead of paying me 20 cents too much.
3. Check out - OK, I don't expect much for the lobby breakfast, but at 9 am they did not have more coffee made. 95% empty. Too afraid to spend 18 cents to have another pot ready.
5. Lack of knowledge of area and no maps. Could not tell me where a major hotel was just a couple of miles away.
The only decent thing was the bed. Not great, but decent.
Econo Lodge should get their good name off the sign.

Room Quality
The rooms were horrible....smelled of smoke badly. I smoke, but this room was like horrible...I had to have candles and air freshners. The price was fine. Next time I'll spend a little more for a better quailty room. The location is fine however. I mean if you can deal with smoke filled rooms the place is fine.
