Was a good property kind of slow on the check in, but I did arrive really late about 3:30am . Right next to the penthouse strip club. I’m pretty sure I had breakfast in the lobby with the stripper awesome
The hotel was in a very convenient location. Was a little concerned when I pulled up and saw a gentleman’s club in the parking lot. But I stayed on a Sunday night and it was quiet. Bathroom was noticeably cleaner than most hotels. Overall would stay here again if needed.
Quick check in. The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean which was great. Breakfast was lacking we skipped it because it wasn’t anything special. Sunny D instead of OJ.
Econo lodge, was a decent place to stay at. Facilities were clean, parking lot was well lit. Staff was very friendly and helpful when we needed anything. Ascfor breakfest at this location could really improve alot. Otherwise for the price i will stay again.
It’s a basic place, but very clean and has an excellent location. Nice room The only thing I can say they could improve the breakfast, other than that everything excellent
Clean and comfortable hotel. The employees were very nice and accommodating. The breakfast selection exceeded expectations and included eggs, sausage, and juice.
