Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was disgustingly filthy. The floor had not been cleaned. The bathroom tub was filthy. Paint was peeling off the door. There was no rod in the closet to hang anything (or hangers). There was no cord for the phone.

Desk person extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Loved the no carpeted floors ! Saw a cockroach but came prepared with a can of Raid ! We sprayed a few places and got the restful sleep we desperately needed ! Something that looked like a blood smear on shower curtain !

Liked: Cleanliness
Nice staff, but bugs
The staff is absolutely wonderful! The three roaches I killed and the two I missed, not so much. The mattress was not comfortable for me at all, but everybody is different about what kind of mattress they like. The accessible room is adequate for me to get around in and the tub has good grab rails for me. Horizontal and vertical, so bonus points there. All grab rails on the wall for the toilet and tub were very sturdy. No shower chair is available, so make sure you have arrangements for that.

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. We were looking for an inexpensive place to spend one night. Our room was big, clean and comfortable. We had a refrigerator, microwave and two chairs. The air conditioner worked great. Good water pressure in the shower. The bed was comfortable.

The proprietor was very nice and the room and bathroom were clean but in need of updating. Lampshades were dirty and damaged, no facial tissue, no glass for drinking, couldn’t get the air conditioning regulated. Below expected standards for Econo Lodge previous experiences.

It's a basic motel, no problem. I never did get logged into the wifi but what made it good for me was the PILLOW(S). I'm getting ready for shoulder surgery and the pillows worked great to give me a pain-free night's sleep.
