It started with what was supposed to be 2 night stay. Turned into a 6 nighter due to change of work in area. during a very cold week. Room was clean and good and warm without being stuffy. Would definitely stay again and have already told a couple of friends it is a good place to stay. Very clean

Great check in with Randy. The room was clean and comfortable. We slept very well. Yes, Econolodge is a lower end hotel, but this one was wonderful. We would stay again.

The room was newly renovated. Very clean and friendly staff. You can't expect the Ritz Carlton but for the price, it's a decent stay. Definitely a good value. Conveniently located next to I -95 and gas stations/restaurants.

This was the cleanest and best Econo Lodge we've stayed at. The receptionist was really nice and checked us in to the last room they had available. Upon checking out, the guy running the front was very friendly and smiled. The room was very clean and I will stay here again. Thank you staff.
