I did not stay due to the smell, It was very outdated and you had to walk an old set of steps to get to second floor
Staff was very understanding and nice

The guy upfront was super nice and funny. Gave us a discount on our pet fee also. Got us a room facing our truck and trailer so we felt more comfortable.

Nice getaway spot
This stuff was very, very friendly. They recommend me a few of the attractions around us cruises. They were also very kind to me and reared me with a smile. I met the owner as well and he sounds very hi.We'll definitely recommend anyone staying here

The air conditioner worked well, the room was basic but adequate for our needs. The registration desk staff member was polite, efficient and friendly. Room 217 is in need of maintenance in the bathroom area. The staff were informed.
If you're looking for a very basic place to rest for a night, the Econo Lodge will meet your needs. Don't expect any more than that.

Good for a place to sleep
Location was clean, quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The other furnishings in the room were damaged (hot items on the wood) which game them the semblance of being unclean but they were fine. We just needed a place to sleep for the night. Parking is a bit squashed and there's no turn around in the back, so just be aware of that. Otherwise, a nice place to park your bones.

The hotel was a little grungey looking, but honestly was perfectly comfortable. The A/C didn't work super well and looked like it could be replaced or cleaned out.
