Liked: Cleanliness
This is a reasonably priced, decent condition clean , staff is not unfriendly but not super welcoming. The expedia website said breakfast included which was a factor in our choice for cost and travel time, now we have to spend time and money to go to a restaurant. If i had known this upfront, i would've picked a different hotel.

I stayed in room 223 on 10/12/2024, there was mold all over the shower, the shower curtain was ripped off the wall so the show curtain wouldn’t stay shut. The towels were dirty and smelt musty. The front desk attendant was rude, and disrespectful while checking in. I would have rather stayed in my vehicle at this point.

Dont stay here

The person at the counter spoke very little english and was hard to understand. Breakfast was just coffee. The bed was extremely lumpy. Heater blew cold air when heat was selected.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a pretty basic motel, with coffee and creamer in the lobby, and empty vending machines. My room was quiet and comfortable, in spite of being opposite the ice machine. I only heard it operate once. The polyester sheets were amazingly comfortable, and the shower and sink worked well. The toilet seat had some sort of plastic covering that was peeling, and would best be replaced, but it was clearly very clean. Wood composite flooring also contributed to the overall feeling of cleanliness.

There was an unpleasant odor in the lobby and no air conditioning in the hallway, but the AC in my room worked well. The desk clerk was business-like--don't expect to receive a warm welcome. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated the mini-fridge but the microwave didn't work. Security at the first-floor window consisted of a couple pieces of wood jammed into the track. There's a McDonalds just across the highway that opens at 5 am, which was convenient for getting a morning cup of coffee. I selected this hotel because i just needed a bed for one night and the price was right. You get what you pay for.

No way! Price was 20.00 too high with comparable

They didn’t check an ID at check in. They asked me not to make a mess. The place looked abandoned, dark and old. I called the front desk to report someone being beaten in the next room. They yelled at them to be quiet from the hallway. Most hotels along I-80 like this and other Econolodges are 20.00 less and in better shape. Too expensive and not worth the price. No breakfast of any kind.

It was dirty in every way. The smoke alarm on ceiling was wrapped with a bag. The floor and trim around toilet and tub were dirty. Bath mat looked like it had never been cleaned. Walls and baseboard all scuffed up. We were hoing to take the loss and leave, but decided to try and sleep and leave as early as possible. I couldn't believe Expedia would represent this motel and allow their customers to purchase a room like this. I took pictures gor proof of my complaints.

Clean but...

Although staff was courteous they haven't offered free breakfast for years just coffee yet listing promotes free breakfast. The table in the room was unstable. The bolts were so loose. I had to hand tighten them, and still didn’t feel comfortable putting my computer on the table. It was nice to be on the main floor, but there is no sound in insulation when someone walks on the second floor at five in the morning. The sofa in the lobby had a sheet over it and the bushes and trees at the front of the motel, looked like they hadn’t been trimmed at least all year. If there weren’t cars in the parking lot, I would’ve thought the place was abandoned.
