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!

The stuff were nice. The rooms were clean, the only thing we didn't like is the pool closure at 10. We were tired and arrived late, really hoped to visit it even for 20 min but didn't gave that chance.

The "courtyard view" just means you have a view of the parking lot. There's a stove and microwave, which I didn't use, and a decently sized mini fridge. Curtains can block out the daylight. *Plenty* of towels. The bed and pillows are adequate. I didn't use the pool, but saw a few people happy to have a late night dip. The lobby is fine to hang out in.

I booked this stay partly because it had a pool and hot tub. When I arrived, the pool was empty. It took 2 days to fill it and a third for the water to heat. Just in time for my departure. My room was quite dirty. Hair everywhere, even in the towels. There was no conditioner provided, just shampoo. Hotel is pretty run down. Beds were comfortable and breakfast staff were very friendly.
