Working nearby and needed a couple of rooms with an affordable price. The rooms were nice and clean. The bed was comfortable,the shower was hot and the fridge kept my freezer packs frozen and food nice and cold! The owner obviously takes pride in his place and it shows.Definitely would recommend and will be my first call when I come back 5 stars
Very friendly staff. Clean, large and comfortable rooms. Less than a mile from the highway. Restaurant right across the street. Basic breakfast in the lobby. It was all we could ask for, at a great price. A family was playing baseball out front in the field. Another group was playing horse shoes. All around good vibes. Coffee could have been a bit stronger, but it was free, so really shouldn’t complain.
It did what it was supposed to. We just needed to nap for a few hrs to continue driving. Bed was comfy, it was clean. They got up at 3AM to give us a room and very quickly.
Rooms were extremely clean and the beds were very comfortable and clean. The owner/manager is very friendly. We were greeted with a smile and a “ good morning” every day! The staff is always busy cleaning and asking if we needed anything. The breakfast was good for an economy hotel. Every day there was toast, bagels, jams, cinnamon buns, mini muffins, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and coffee! The exterior was clean and quiet. We drove 12 hours from Canada and I can honestly tell you that we would absolutely stay here again!
I was pleasantly surprised. Location is easy to get in and out. Appearance is very pretty. Owners are friendly. Our room was clean. Very basic (only one big towel per person.. next time I’ll bring a hair towel just in case since I have long hair). Quiet place and normal air quality (no stagnant or odors). We only needed one nights stay and for the price it was perfect.
Professional job this man did getting me a room out of the freezing cold weather. I got a weekly and it was very affordable. His polite customer service was excellent and after driving 9 hours to get here I was shocked when I got the room. The room was spotless, very clearly clean and disinfective. The cleaning staff has done a wonderful job. This was a blessing to find a room in this condition. Definitely choose this place over Super 8, DAYS inn, and Quality inn. Those folks need to have a staff like Econo lodge and maybe those folks could handle there bug problems in their rooms. The room here at econo lodge has NO BUGS AND NO DIRT on the floor or tables. Thank you MR.PATEL,you have a remarkable staff managing your hotel.
All we needed was to get some sleep so we could get back on the road the next morning . Very clean room and a comfortable bed, is what we got, and a good price was a plus.
Large, clean rooms and great location. 1 night stay over. The Mexican restaurant is a bit expensive, but huge portions. Staff was very polite and for $77 ‐ I'd recommend this hotel over any others in the area.
