Good except for bugs.

The hotel was okay for the price. There was only coffee, but it was good ,and no breakfast of any kind. The one big thing was i found two dead bed bugs the first day and another on the second day .. after .....they changed the linens. Not good. Sadly your pricing was $40 higher than your competitors but i left it because i had already finished the booking.

I usually never leave negative reviews because I know things happen. Do NOT stay here. BEDBUGS in my bed. BEDBUGS all in my luggage and on my clothes! When I informed the front desk and Expedia, I was told I could not get a refund for two of the nights, because I stayed the night the first night and didn't check out before 11 the next day. I found the bugs at 12pm. Never again. I am also having to miss a full day of work so that I can go home and decontaminate all of my things!

I called to ask for a 3 hr early check in to just leave our luggage before going to friends home because we would be returning late, after dark to the hotel. At 1st, manager said extra $10. I said nevermind. I then called back and said we would come at 12:30-12:45 to get checked in. He said no extra $20 fee and i dai thanks we'd arrive 12:30. We went to the hotel and a note said"on Break" so we couldnt check in for about 45 minutes. We waited on the lobby intil he returned. It was now 1:15. I asjed fir a room on the upper level, he said no because if housekeeping. I said ok, then in the back away from the main road traffic. Well, we got settled and heard prople above us fir an hour or so before going to sleep. Again in the morning. Coffee was ok at that lobby. The tv remite stopped working as we were watching football Ice machine worked good. Tub did not drain well while taking showers. We only came to sleep at night because we were at friends all day and evening. Parking good. House keeper friendly.

I was disappointed to find that although the description said there was a tub/shower combo only to find only a shower available. It also offered in room coffee which was not available. The air conditioner froze up and made a puddle of water on the floor. I am sure that will be repaired before I post this review.

We stayed at this Econolodge for two nights, September 6-7, 2025. The room was clean and equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave. The room space was adequate. I was disappointed that there weren’t any rooms designated as non-pet/animal. There is a coffee maker in the office, but tea and bottled water were not provided. Tea, hot water, and bottled water is standard in the places I’ve stayed.

Rooms were ok...

The lobby had an overwhelming smell of moth balls. I had to wait 10 min to check in because the receptionist made a food run. The rooms were decent but certainly nothing spectacular. The remote was broken.
