When I walked into the room I could smell the clean bed linens. Even though it was an older hotel it was very clean and in good shape. It was conveniently located and the staff was very personable. I stayed in a Hilton the night before and I actually preferred the Econolodge. If I go back I'm staying here, for the price it cannot be beat!

Very helpful front desk staff! Rooms were sparkly clean, plenty of hot water (it was cold this past weekend) and location was great for going out and sight-seeing the area! Price per night is reasonable - you get your bang for the buck!

It was our 2nd stay at Econo Lodge. It didn't disappoint. It's clean, comfy and safe. The location is close to everything we wanted and the staff are always friendly. It isn't fancy, but weren't looking for luxury.
