Ranked far higher than it deserves

Description did not mention this was a motel style hotel with doors that open to the outside and a large chunk of rooms separate from main building, meaning you have to go outside to get to front desk and other facilities. Very noisy AC/heater. Outdated windows. Faucet spout on tub broken. Stayed on second floor in the building separate from the main one, which has no working ice machine and no elevator: be prepared to haul luggage up two flights of stairs.

We were greeted at check in which was fast and easy. When we got to our room the front office called to see how the room was . Room was very good and bed was one of the most comfortable ones we have ever had in a motel/hotel. The only issues we have are the fridge in the room was useless as we tried to freeze a couple of bottles of water but they only got cold and the fridge was at the coldest setting. The other issue was they need a second toaster for the continental breakfast. But those are just inconveniences and are easily lived with We would stay there again anytime we are in the area.

Really good overall The only couple not perfect things were the size of the cooking area. Tiny and missing a few basic items it was not great to cook there. The other one was that you could totally hear everything from the outside. Besides that it was good. Affordable, clean, good location and good breakfast. Also really big and comfy bed.

Econo is very ideal for a family because of the great location close to the highway and restaurants as well. The room we had was very spacious for a family of 3, having a king bed size bed. The amenities were good. However, I would recommend to add more variety on the continental breakfast as it was very limited. Special thanks to Sagar for his great service and assistance. He was very friendly and welcoming. Smooth check in and check out. Would stay here again!
