The Econo Lodge was very affordable. The person at the front desk seemed nice enough. Coffee and vending machines were convenient to where our room was, just down the hall.

The property looks old. But rooms were very clean and spacious. Beds were clean and comfy and theres were lots of channel options. The only complaint we had was our room keys were deactivated before the 11am check out time.
