We booked a room at EconoLodge and got a free upgrade to a room at the QualityInn, the nicer rooms in the same building, which was great for our family stay. Staff and service was excellent. The building itself is aged and needs better ventilation for the rooms, hallways, and breakfast area. Nice and quiet location with lots of parking.

Room was clean and smelled clean. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. The AC unit worked well enough but the room was humid. Quiet location and we did sleep well. Breakfast was better than average. The check in process was efficient.

Great staff very helpful. check-in was fast and easy. Love the convenience of the parking lot door. Rooms were very clean and well put together. He had all the amenities you needed. Breakfast was good. The coffee cup was a little tiny, but you have a coffee maker in your room. Very happy with my stay g I will be back....The only thing I didn't like was there were a lot of cigarette butt out in the parking lot.

4/10 Fair

The shower drains so slow the tub fills with water in a five minute shower and takes another 15 min to drain. We were switched rooms and they both did the same thing. There were ants in one of the rooms we stayed in. The heater was set at heat to 66 and it felt like a sauna it was at least 75 in there. No elevator to get to the second floor so just inconvenient not a huge deal. Everything was just very run down and old. The staff was very nice.

2/10 Poor

We checked in fine, overall first impression- place a bit run down, seems to be in middle of reno. Upon return from our event- there was absolutely no one at the front desk… in fact not one staff person to be found. Other guests reported they’d been waiting in lobby for about an hour for any sign of staff to check in and couldn’t. Police eventually called and showed up— which was disturbing on many levels- morphed into sense of decreased safety. Rooms very average at best. Probably won’t attempt to book there in future. Not great experience.

Better than i expected!

The initial check in is confusing but our room was fine. We traveled with our daughter & dog & we had an entrance interior & exterior which was nice. The exterior can use some major cleanup but inside was good! Room was good but the frig didn't work.
