It might be a little hard to find and the way to go there may have bad roads at the end, but it was quite nice, especially with this price, I'd say I am satisfied with the hotel itself. The only thing I felt uncomfortable was that they didn't fix a light beforehand, but it wasn't a big deal, so... « less

Hard to find, hidden behind a Wendy's. Price was great! Check in and out were fine (except that the 1st room we went in had someone's clothes in a pile in the corner and cigarettes on the nightstand with a small baggie next to it). Immediately called front desk and was moved no problem. Room had lots of furniture, almost too much. Flatscreen worked fine but had no HBO (eventhough there's an HBO guide in the room). Air was great! Bed was a little stiff but manageable. There are a few restaurants in walking distance (try the Red Onion Cafe...it's good!). Bathroom is small but very clean with good water pressure (but the water drained slowly and you had to hold the handle to flush the toilet). Hair dryer, iron and board, microwave, fridge but no coffeemaker. Lots of cars in the parking lot at night but never heard a peep. Cheap, no frills or drama. Had everything we needed. « less

The hotel was nice( considering the location) Checkin was a little slow. The gentleman that was working the desk didn't seem to be of age, was not dressed professionally. Even though it is an Econo Lodge- he should have a little more pride in his job. Being a hotel Manager myself, I was shocked. I don't expect much when I do travel,and I don't give staff memebers or Managers a hard time. The room was ok- nothing to write home to anyone about. I think for the size of the hotel they could invest a little more money into it.... Overrall no real complaints. « less

Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner?
"Thank you for your help, however - I would have never found such a great deal at this historical hotel without your website's help. You can quote on that - your site is by far and above the most comprehensive and complete hotel planning guide for groups on the internet." M.S. - San Marcos, TX
"I really enjoyed using your site to book rooms for the wedding next spring. I ended up booking with the last hotel to send me a bid. Everyone was most pleasant to work with." D.M. - Barstow, CA
