"Econo Lodge was nice"

The room was clean. Recently remodeled bathroom with really nice tile. The room also was a good size. Bed was fairly comfortable. Breakfast was good with many options. They allowed a late checkout with a cash "tip". .

"Very Nice Hotel"

Clean, comfortable beds, good bathroom, towels and wash cloths, fridge/freezer worked very well. A very nice hotel to stay in on our journey. We started staying over at least 28 years ago on our way out to see family and on our way home. (It's been under different names but Econolodge the longest). Three generations of family! Thank you.
