5.4 Fair
Pros:Nice pillows.
Cons:There were many signs that the hotel was undergoing renovations in the lobby, but room bathrooms were very dingy looking, bordering the question of if they’re actually clean.
J
5.7 Fair
Pros:Pillows were soft, room was clean. Directv is convenient.
Cons:The bed was stiff as a board. I like firm beds, but those mattresses were like planks.
A
6.5 Okay
Cons:I needed a place to stay in my move across the country. I was pulling a trailer and had a good estimate of timing for when to stop to rest for the night but got behind schedule. I called around 5pm in hopes of being able to switch my stay to somewhere earlier along my drive but could not because I had booked online. I then let the staff know I would not be in until about 3am. Apparently no record of this phone call was written down or communicated to the person working the desk because once I finally arrived at 3:45am, they had already marked me as a no show and did not want to let me in my room. After some convincing, I got my key to finally get some rest so I could take off to continue my drive again the next day.
A
9.7 Wonderful
Pros:The front desk staff was always so kind. This was my second time staying at this hotel.
A
7.7 Good
Pros:It served our purpose of a reasonable place to stay for the night.
Cons:Nothing,really. You don't expect more from an Econo Lodge.
