Quite Comfortable

“I found the room at Econo Lodge to be quite comfortable during my stay. It had all the basics covered, including satisfactory WiFi, a nice hot shower in a recently updated bathroom, and a plain but not cramped room. I appreciated having a microwave and fridge right in my room, which made my stay more convenient.” view full review

Updated Bath Facilities

“The bathroom had been recently updated, which I absolutely loved. The shower had great water pressure and was always hot. It was nice to know that cleanliness was a priority. The hot water took a little while to warm up, but once it did, it was refreshing!” view full review

Comfy Sleeping Arrangements

“The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a good night's sleep after long days. I really appreciated how the blackout shades worked effectively, allowing me to rest without any disturbances from outside light.” view full review

Simple Breakfast Offerings

“While the continental breakfast was minimal, it did include pastries, bagels, and coffee. This provided just enough to get my day started without any fuss. It felt like a nice little touch that added to the overall value of my stay.” view full review
