The hotel and staff were very nice. Rooms were clean. My only complaint is that the light above the sink had a short in it and did not work. Overall our stay was very pleasant.

Clean and simple. No frills. Only a few TV channels. Breakfast skimpy, no cream for coffee. Staff friendly and efficient.

Nice for the price

Hotel looks like they may be in the process of painting the rooms - still tape at the top of the walls and not cleaned off outlets, so that was nice to know they're updating. Room was spacious and clean. Only down-side really was that the bed was hard and the pillows pretty flat - and only 2 of them - no extras in the room either.

Good value for ann overnight stay!

I booked online as an Econolodge and my GPS directed me to the wrong address-but was basically across the road from hotel. The signage for Econolodge has not been placed, so it is still called Gold Leaf. Cheerful front desk staff gal checked me in quickly and told me about restaurants nearby that offered discounts to hotel guests. I needed a couple more pillows and she took care of it immediately! A train did go by around 7pm, but no others went through. The room was safe, mostly clean and comfy, no frills, Appliances/HVAC all were in great working condition, carpet looked used, there was some hair on the bathroom floor that was most definitely not mine. Breakfast consists of a variety of bread products, cereals, condiments, juices/milk. Overall, an okay place to stay for a night.

Excellent experience!

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the room size, cleanliness, condition of the hotel and the service. We had not planned to stay at this hotel, but since we had such a good experience we would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the hotel. The only thing that could be improved would be to expand the breakfast.

visiting family

We have stayed before. Everything was fine except two things. there is a strong cleaning chemical smell when you come in the front door. it is too strong to be pleasant. The second is the breakfast. We are not particular about breakfasts in general but this time the juice machine wasn't working, the pastries are stale, and the cereal selection was poor.

Room description was a lie

Online room description stated fireplace in room, but was not there. Staff were unwilling to help when we ended up with a much smaller basic room that smelled bad. I had to eventually have Expedia intervene so that we could leave the hotel to find a more suitable place for the week
