Good on a budget, good coffee
Good for the price, but room service barged in on me twice before 9am and I was trying to sleep for work. Coffee was nice. Receptionist at late night check in was very friendly.

Please pardon my request 🙏😇
The stay was good. But I was charged for the first day that I did not arrive. My flight was delayed 9 times then canceled, was forced to spend the night at the airport to catch the morning flight which I called Econo lodge what had happened and if my room is still reserved, He said yes. Mentioned it to staff and He said there’s nothing He can do to change the date. The manager did not approve of a refund on that Christmas Eve day that I was suppose be there but instead came on Christmas Day. What I had to go through at the airport on Christmas Eve and then the manager of Econo Lodge refused to refund my money on that day, I give this place only 2stars. However, if I could ask the manager again and she pardon it for hardship at the airport and grants me favor, than yes this place deserves 5 stars.

Watch the billing.
Room was fine. Above average. Clean and a great Television. Only issue was reserved a room thru the Hotels.com app and was doubled billed, and everyone is pointing fingers on who's at fault. I have to wonder if and when i may get my money back.

There was nothing unique about property. I interrupted the front desk girls tv show by showing up to check in. Then interrupted again for an iron to go with the ironing board in our room. She was not friendly at all. It was ok and worked for what we needed. Just glad I wasn’t by myself or had my children with me. Light in bathroom blown, toilet backed up had to ask for a plunger and take care of it ourselves, grit in bottom of tub was worn and husband slipped and fell in shower. When asked for another room was told there was none and yet place looked empty. Said continental breakfast but no breakfast. It is locked down and only a glass window to speak through. Was offered a bottle water.

Not the best experience
The bathroom had hair pushed behind the door upon our arrival. There were raised stains of some sort on the walls throughout our room. Also, the bed was broken in the middle.

Never again
A family was sitting out on the sidewalk with all their bags for at least 6 hours the evening I checked in.. right next to my room. .. had been kicked out but not off the property... I called office twice as I was very concerned. The agent was trying to be helpful she just didn't know what to do but she did call the police... They were finally gone around 9:30 10:00 pm... The phone in the room did not work the hair dryer in the room had a short in it... The only good things I can say was it did seem to be a clean room the shower worked great and the office clerk was friendly and trying to be helpful.
