Econo Lodge

This was absolutely the worst hotel experience that I have had in all of my adult years dirty dirty dirty, the television has snow on half the channels, chairs are broken doors are broken refrigerators are broken. I stayed in three different rooms all within one night because there was so much wrong with the first two, and then the third one I was just tired of it and so I accepted it because there was so much wrong with this hotel I wouldn't even ask my enemy to stay here. If you're looking to save money don't stay here you're better off to go to the neighbors Barn and stay there for free it would probably be cleaner

When we checked in, went to the room, it was older and dark. It smelled of old smoke they never got rid of. There were patched walls and hair left in the coener of the floor in the bathroom. Did not seem to be cleaned. There were dead bugs in the sheets. We left.

Upon arrival late at night in a rain storm we were pleasantly surprised to have a well lit overhang at entrance. Exterior was nice and well lit. Ashley was very welcoming. Tips: make sure switches at front door are on to charge devices in some outlets; make sure all lights are working. Overall our expectations were met. My opinion: at the end of the day, this is a budget type hotel that is trying to revamp itself to provide better service to guests. Sorry, not time for photos. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - Friendly front counter staff (Ashley) - Recently renovated rooms along with windows and drapes - Recently renovated exterior - Computer for customer use near front desk. - Breakfast available, but very minimal (cereal, milk, OJ, coffee, muffins, etc.) - Good location for food and gas nearby - Very quiet, except for engine noise from trucks (no biggie, I grew up in Chicago) - Safety was not a concern for us...we felt safe. - Fridge and microwave in room (unusual for budget hotel). Cons: - Old used bed with very worn and flat pillows (bring your own pillows) - Confusing array of light switches - Bathroom light did not work - Doors were old and deadbolt did not engage - Open boxes of flooring cluttered parts of the hallway Suggestion to hotel management: replace the pillows, mattress, and doors ASAP.

This was the only hotel under $200 when we wanted to reach eclipse totality last month. We braced ourselves for the worst, after reading the reviews after purchasing. When we arrived and saw no hotel sign up and plastic covering the windows on one half of the hotel, I thought our fears had been confirmed. Nothing special, however, I've stayed in worse and there was even a breakfast and "moon pies" out in Eclipse day. I think they're just under renovations. You can hear hallway noise easily in the room. But I always wear earplugs. Not worth $200, for sure, but we knew what we were getting into, traveling for the eclipse.

Traveling with a pet can sometimes be inconvenient. The Holiday Inn has ample space for us to walk our dog. The rooms are adequate as was the breakfast. The staff is friendly and receptive. I do feel the price was a bit high and this might be a reason to not stay at this location again while traveling along Interstate 65.

The room we had was in terrible condition. Ceiling in bathroom was falling down and had numerous patches that were gone. The bathroom was dirty and stained, paint chipped away many places. The room door was missing the chain lock and was in disrepair. The jacuzzi hardware was loose and falling off. The bed looked like someone had already slept in it. Pass this one up and go someplace else.

I normally do a lot of research before booking a hotel, but we were on a 12-hour drive home and decided at the last minute to stay at a hotel and have a fresh start in the morning. We chose this hotel thinking it can't be that bad for one night's sleep. First of all, it has no elevator. When we walked into our hotel room, my husband and I both smelled cigarette smoke (this is a non-smoking facility). There was a condom hanging on the lamp shade as well. We requested a refund, which was given to us because they had no other rooms to put us in. That was probably a good thing! We decided to drive the rest of the way home.

I would love to write a review about an actual stay for this hotel, but they didn't honor my reservation. I had a confirmed reservation number. Choice Hotels even sent me a reminder email a few days before my stay. There was no room in the inn. The man working the check in desk merely told me I wasn't on his list, and he couldn't find my reservation. He was rude and didn't even apologize nor offer any solutions. Luckily the Holiday Inn Express had a cancellation. All the other rooms in the area were booked up due to multiple local events. VERY disappointed to say the least. I don't trust the entire Choice Hotel chains anymore.

There was so much mold around the shower I couldn’t bring myself to use it. The pool reeks of urine and the cement around the edges is crumbling into the water. There were dead bugs squished into the lamp shade and loud partying outside. I’ve stayed in hostels and cheaper motels that weren’t this awful.
