Econo Lodge Glade Springs I-81

Saltville

If I wasn't so tired I probably would've driven further because honestly Econo Lodge isn't usually my first choice. Sure glad that I stopped to check it out! Clean & comfortable, it exceeded my expectations. Raymond at the front desk was the perfect combination of friendly & efficient.  My room was basic ~ nothing fancy, obviously, but for a quick overnight it was perfect.  Micro & fridge w/freezer section for refreezing Blue Ice, YAY!  Drive right up to your own door w/exterior entrance.  These sort of motels are getting harder & harder to find but I prefer this design. Makes it so much easier to load & unload luggage, cooler, briefcase, etc. rather than having to load everything onto a cart, wheel it through the lobby & into an elevator, then push it down a long carpeted hallway!  Easily accessible bedside outlets.  Free wifi w/ample signal.  Sheets & towels were clean & in good repair. Although there was a little highway noise, it was surprisingly quiet for being right off the interstate & across the street from a Petro truck stop.  Grounds were nicely kept.  I didn't get any of the uncomfortable  "sketchy" vibe that is sometimes found at budget friendly motels. Priced right, clean, convenient.  No continental but there was coffee in the lobby.  I definitely recommend.  

Not an Econo Lodge snob anymore!

The room was very uncleanness I dropped some of my medications on the floor it went under the beds I moved it to pick it up and under the beds it was very nasty it looks like it hadn't been swept or mopped my friend was in a room upstairs in one of the rooms and she said the room was perfect she looked under the king bed and it was very clean, I asked her who the house keeper was and she said she talked to her and seen her name tag said Kathy  she was very friendly and respectful all I can say is the owner is very lucky to have her and keep her here . She said she would come back and stay but I will not being staying here anymore due to the nasty floors and I seen roaches coming out of the vents so I definitely want be back 

Best housekeeper was kathy

My husband booked this despite my protest.  The Patel family runs this motel, it was clean, simple,  efficient, located just off the interstate was a pleasant surprise.  Great for an overnighter.  Large bathtubs to soak in.  Quiet.  

No breakfast anymore just coffee.  King beds are only located upstairs.  Pet friendly rooms.  

Nearby is gas, dollar general, pizza plus and a El Burrito Loco- which had fantastic food at reasonable prices.

Would stay again!

Clean! I was very skeptical. Good Value

Pretty good value!  However, the front desk is not always staffed and there is no breakfast at all.    This was advertised as a amenity on all the booking sites and Choice Hotels own  app promoted as being included in the room rate, its not!  The room however, was clean, updated with solid surface flooring, new sink and countertops, new tub/shower and new toilet and the room was pleasant.   Overall a good value.

A Good Value

Picked this hotel while in the area for the NASCAR race at Bristol, about 40 minutes from this hotel, because of a more reasonable price (around $150 a night, good for the area that weekend). Pretty typical travel motel, but if you need a place for a simple night's sleep while driving, it did it's job. Mattresses in the room I had are in need of upgrading, but it was relatively clean. On a great note, customer service was fantastic. The manager/owner let me check in way early just to get our keys so I wouldn't have to check in later around 11 pm that night when I'd be back.

Ok place, good spot for a recharge

We left after work for a long weekend get away on July 22, 2021 about 10pm  we stopped here for the night on our way to Gatlinburg Tn.  The staff was very friendly, we elected to get a smoking room ( which was around back and on second floor)  so we expected there may be a stale smoke smell.  To our surprise there was not a smell but the room was disgusting.  Both bed spreads had numerous cigarettes' burns all  bed spread  and when you pulled that cover back the white sheets looked as if they had not been laundered as there was stains on them, the walls were very dirty and the sink had some kind of big burn in it.  We thought ok we have blankets in car will make due for one night since it was getting so late and my husband couldn't drive anymore.   About a half hour of being in our room , ( THANK GOD MY HUSBAND SLID OVER THE  SECURTIY LATCH )our door opened , and this man  stood there looking at us through the one inch crack,  the black gentleman apologized for the intrusion as my naked husband jumped up and slammed the door back shut ! " saying sorry man"  What that told us was his electronic key was keyed to our room as well or he would not have been able to open our door at all as it was closed! We tried to report this the next morning as we checked out but no one was in the office to do so, we just returned our keys and got the heck out of that place.  Unfortunately I would absolutely not recommend this place and feel as if they need to check there electronic key cards to insure each guest in the future is safe once in their room.  I cant speak for all of the rooms, but the one we had was terrible..

use the safety latch

I checked into this hotel and within an hour I was leaving. I brought my dog with me and he was sniffing around the room. He found a PILE of left behind pills and was licking them. I was unsure if he ate any by the time I got over to them. I then called the front desk and the individual at the desk stated to me that the hotel has received awards for cleanliness and it was the first time ever. I then went to the desk to ask for a refund to check out. He continuously pointed to the awards of cleanliness. I shared with him that was not the case in my room and I needed to take him to the emergency vet. He then BLAMED ME for the pills and told me they must have been mine since they are always clean. I then asked for a refund and said I needed to go. He then told me I didn't complain for the first hour so they must be mine or not an issue. I then asked to speak with a manager, and he made a call and got me a refund. I then tried to call today asking to speak with a manager - the first 2 times an individual told me they were unavailable, the next time I called the same individual claimed to be the manager. I was very upset with this experience and will not be going back to Econo Lodge. I also encourage all to check their room's cleanliness.

Horrible Customer Service & Dangerous Room

We needed a place to stay for a few hrs. Checked in at 1245am because we were tired. I did not book on booking because we were not sure how far we would go, and usually you get a better deal directly with hotel. Went in office and he would not accept the lower booking price ($7 lower) so paid their price, he said he was unable. (Past experience hotels can can will match price). Left at 730 am to head to our destination. 

There is no parking in back of hotel. Sso if your room is in back, you park up front and have to walk around. 

Room was no bad, beds were smaller than normal ( looked like a double but still seemed small) Fridge, microwave, TV, dresser, coffee maker, etc. was provided. 

Bathroom was clean and had an extra roll of tpipet paper as well. No tissues in room. Small bottle of hair stuff along w a bath bar was in room. 

No carpet which is nice, bedspreads had a few burn holes. Pillows were comfortable. Bed wasn't bad.

Ok place

My Husband and I stayed at this Econo Lodge while on our way to New Jersey,  being honest, we NEVER stay at Econo Lodges, as they are usually pretty gross, but this one is totally opposite,  it is VERY clean and the staff is super friendly. The beds were a little too hard for me, but it wasn't a deal breaker. The pillows were not the best, but again, not a deal breaker. The owner offered to replace the pillows, but it was fine. The ac was ice cold, the rooms have been remodeled.  We will definitely return to this hotel when we are coming through Virginia.  

Nice little hotel.

Hotel rooms seemed clean.  Ice machine was broken but office offered to give us some until it was fixed.  Coffee maker made only one cup and produced a number of bursts of steam which was  unsettling.  FYI:  there are two levels and no elevator.
Located very convenient to I-81.
