Hidden Gem in Smiths Falls, Ontario
Okay! We all know that Econo Lodges are NOT 5 Star properties. They never have been, never will be. With that said, the Econo Lodge Smiths Falls is an absolutely GEM!!! First, the staff were amazing. Every single person I dealt with was welcoming, friendly, kind, courteous and helpful! They made my stay so much better!! Second, I travel often, so keeping costs down is important. I understand that the Econo Lodges are mainly old facilities. But the Smith Falls location, even though it was old, was extremely clean and well taken care of. Yes, it showed its age, but did so gracefully. Again, a testament to staff who really care!! Third, OMG my room was HUGE! And it had a balcony facing the river! Which will be even nicer when I go back in the summer!! The bed was super comfortable. Nice size TV. Lots of space, did not feel cramped like some hotels. And endless amounts of hot water, great morning showers!! Finally… and this is extremely important… they had a pancake machine for breakfast!!! EPIC!! Over all, for a hotel that is rated 2ish stars, I give my four day stay a 10/10+. Thank you to the people at the Smiths Falls Econo Lodge for making my travels so incredibly fun and relaxing!!! ✌️&❤️ Ken & Moosie

Great value! Hotel needs updating, but then they might not be able to offer such a great price. Staff was kind, the room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. And our room had a beautiful view of the river. We were happy with our stay!

I like this hotel. the only issues I have are that it appears to be a little unkept and the main floor rooms should be kept closed. The carpets should be re-stretched to they don't look so bad. The rooms are clean and our stays here were acceptable (4).

While it served as a place to sleep, the strange stains and unpleasant smells throughout, including in my room, the terrible attitude of the staff, and the subpar breakfast make it difficult to recommend this place to anyone.
