Although the facility was under reconstruction, the overall service and cleanliness of the room were great. It was also very reasonably priced.

Desk person extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Loved the no carpeted floors ! Saw a cockroach but came prepared with a can of Raid ! We sprayed a few places and got the restful sleep we desperately needed ! Something that looked like a blood smear on shower curtain !

Nice staff, but bugs
The staff is absolutely wonderful! The three roaches I killed and the two I missed, not so much. The mattress was not comfortable for me at all, but everybody is different about what kind of mattress they like. The accessible room is adequate for me to get around in and the tub has good grab rails for me. Horizontal and vertical, so bonus points there. All grab rails on the wall for the toilet and tub were very sturdy. No shower chair is available, so make sure you have arrangements for that.

Not for solo women
The reception was nice and the bed and bathroom were clean, but the first thing I noticed when I walked into my room was that it was extremely damp. I couldn’t walk barefoot without my feet feeling sticky and wet, and there was an overwhelming musty smell. One lamp shade looked like it had mold growing on it. I also felt very unsafe as a solo female traveler. There were several different groups of men standing outside their doors in every section of the motel, even though it was late on a work night, and I didn’t see a single other woman. They were loud all night, and even woke me up at 6 am yelling. When I left around 6:45 am the outside reeked of beer, and as soon as I walked out the door the men stopped talking and just stared at me as I headed to my car. I had a terrible gut feeling the whole time and I’m glad to be out of there.

The proprietor was very nice and the room and bathroom were clean but in need of updating. Lampshades were dirty and damaged, no facial tissue, no glass for drinking, couldn’t get the air conditioning regulated. Below expected standards for Econo Lodge previous experiences.

Not the Best. Not the Worst
Stayed 2 nights. I chose this hotel bc I had 2 dogs with me. It's right beside McDonald's and across the street from a Starbuck's. No frills motel. Room had a fridge and microwave. The beds were clean and semi-comfortable. You can tell the mattresses are old but it's not the worst bed I've slept in. The bathtub was dirty. There were cigarette burns all along the tub. It was quite and parking was good. I didn't try the breakfast. Overall it was affordable.

This property was the worst Place I’ve stayed. The towels and linens were dingy. They didn’t give you enough towels or tissue. The bathrooms were very small and the floors were filthy. A lot of transient people lived there therefore safety is questionable . I was disappointed. Renovations need to be done.

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. We were looking for an inexpensive place to spend one night. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. We had a refrigerator, microwave and two chairs. The air conditioner worked great. Good water pressure in the shower. The bed was comfortable.
