I’ve stayed here a couple of times and I’ve always enjoyed my stay! The rooms are always clean and nice I also want to give a huge thank you to Krystal at the front desk! She went absolutely above and beyond to get my room figured out when I accidentally booked on the wrong night! She honestly deserves a raise! She was so sweet and understanding I couldn’t ask for better service! Thank you thank you!

I would highly recommend this hotel. Last night there was a snowstorm in the area and whiteout conditions meant that it was not safe to drive at all. I stopped here for a room. Nate, the employee who greeted me, was so kind. They did not have any rooms available and he was extremely apologetic. I went to use their restroom and I came back and he had called the other hotels in the area and found one right down the street that had a room! I was so incredibly grateful since it was not at all safe to drive further. A few moments later as I was about to leave. He asked me to wait a moment and had received a text from the owner who had given me permission to use a room that apparently is normally not available on the reservation system. The room was clean, quiet, and I got a really sound night's sleep. I am so grateful to Nate for helping me. Had he not helped me find a room, whether it was at his hotel or the hotel down the street that I was not aware even existed, I would have had to sleep in my car. Thank you to Nate and Econolodge for your kindness.

I had an unexpected trip to the area, and decided to stay here. Mike was great at accommodating my odd request. The rooms were nice and clean. I love that there is not carper in the rooms. Even the jacuzzi tub, was nice and clean. If I have to travel to the area again, I will definitely stay here. I did not check out the breakfast as I wanted to get on the road. But, I was informed of the breakfast and the hours! I definitely recommend!!!!

In 15 years with Choice Hotels this is easily the best Econo Lodge in America. Very clean rooms, very quiet. Get 1st floor if you can. Very convenient to your car.

This is a great lodge if you're just looking to sleep and get to your next destination. no pool, no hot tub. nothing additional. just a room. But for the price that makes everything perfect. Clean rooms. Front desk staff was very nice.

The building and grounds are well maintained, and the check-in was fast and efficient. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and everything you need is at hand. Large vehicle parking is available between the hotel and restaurant next door. Overall, it's a great place to stay.

The hotel is very clean and well cared for. The rooms are nice and adequate. I found the bed to be incredibly hard. The walls were thin so you could hear everything and everyone in the hallway as well as the neighbors' plumbing. We stayed on a busy night, there was no vacancy so that could have attributed to the excessive noise. I did love the patios. It was a perfectly adequate place to stay.
