Good

The room was adequate but offered no extras. The room was old, dated and could have been cleaner.

Disliked: Amenities
No staff interaction after check in. Difficult to understand. The location was good for our purposes. Easy to control the room temperature. The room has had a few upgrades, but definitely was way overpriced for what it offered. Bedspread had spots. Pillows were flat. Ironing board cover wasn't even on the ironing board. Refrigerator needs to be cleaned and freezer part to be defrosted.
Loose toilet lid cover , bed come with 3 puni pillow and so flat that I have to stack 2 together to get thru the night, bathroom ffloor real dirty, it will darken your bare foot cheap soap bar.
I guess cheap price come with very low quality. But this is the first time in 40 years , I met a hotel like this.
It's dated. But I could be ok with that, however, the toilet paper holder came out of the wall (poorly installed), cobwebs from the lamp to the ceiling. The bed was scratchy. Out of the way.
DO NOT RECOMMEND
hotel manager was rude and hardly accommodating, my key card was deactivated in my pocket and when I got a new one the manager on duty asked me to stop coming in with more problems so he could catch up on sleep

Good except for bugs.
The hotel was okay for the price. There was only coffee, but it was good ,and no breakfast of any kind. The one big thing was i found two dead bed bugs the first day and another on the second day .. after .....they changed the linens. Not good.
Sadly your pricing was $40 higher than your competitors but i left it because i had already finished the booking.
I usually never leave negative reviews because I know things happen. Do NOT stay here. BEDBUGS in my bed. BEDBUGS all in my luggage and on my clothes! When I informed the front desk and Expedia, I was told I could not get a refund for two of the nights, because I stayed the night the first night and didn't check out before 11 the next day. I found the bugs at 12pm. Never again. I am also having to miss a full day of work so that I can go home and decontaminate all of my things!
I called to ask for a 3 hr early check in to just leave our luggage before going to friends home because we would be returning late, after dark to the hotel. At 1st, manager said extra $10.
I said nevermind.
I then called back and said we would come at 12:30-12:45 to get checked in. He said no extra $20 fee and i dai thanks we'd arrive 12:30.
We went to the hotel and a note said"on Break" so we couldnt check in for about 45 minutes. We waited on the lobby intil he returned.
It was now 1:15.
I asjed fir a room on the upper level, he said no because if housekeeping.
I said ok, then in the back away from the main road traffic.
Well, we got settled and heard prople above us fir an hour or so before going to sleep. Again in the morning. Coffee was ok at that lobby.
The tv remite stopped working as we were watching football
Ice machine worked good.
Tub did not drain well while taking showers.
We only came to sleep at night because we were at friends all day and evening.
Parking good. House keeper friendly.
I was disappointed to find that although the description said there was a tub/shower combo only to find only a shower available. It also offered in room coffee which was not available. The air conditioner froze up and made a puddle of water on the floor. I am sure that will be repaired before I post this review.
Clean, well maintained. Registration attentive and courteous. Marble countertop in bathroom. Great value close to I-81 in safe neighborhood. 10/10 would stay again.
We stayed at this Econolodge for two nights, September 6-7, 2025. The room was clean and equipped with a small refrigerator and microwave. The room space was adequate. I was disappointed that there weren’t any rooms designated as non-pet/animal. There is a coffee maker in the office, but tea and bottled water were not provided. Tea, hot water, and bottled water is standard in the places I’ve stayed.
