The property was dirty. The room was disgusting. The towels need to be thrown in the trash. They smell like dirty floors. It was just a dirty Hotel man who the hell wants to stay in a place like that. I’ll never stay there again. Have a good day.

Property is an older building and within walking distance of the Southbridge Mall and Hockey arena. Although the mall doesn't have much in it anymore. Parking lot was well lit at night and staff was helpful. Room was clean and ready for arrival, but it had a bit of a stale musty smell. Refrigerator and microwave in room worked fine. For the lower cost and just needing a place to crash at night it worked fine. If you want a place with more frills and amenities this would not fit that expectation.

Upon first seeing the property I was very concerned about my choice. The outside of the building looks very sketchy and poor. After seeing the lobby was in decent shape and the guy behind the desk was great I felt a little better. Once I found my room was on an inside corridor behind locked doors and getting to my room and finding it in good shape I felt ok with my choice. It's not the nicest motel but my room was clean the bed made with clean sheets and was very comfortable. No problem with hot water as others have said at all. Looks like they are trying to update the place but it's going slowly.

First stay with EconoLodge.

Building is older and has had some wear and tear. I noted an air cleaner in the bathroom ceiling that is WAY past due for replacement or cleaning. Linens were all newer and clean. Room had a balcony which was a nice extra. Motel is close to the nicely developed downtown area. Easy walking distance for most folks.
