While my stay at Econo Lodge had some positives, there were several aspects that left much to be desired. Upon check-in, I was disappointed to be told that they couldn't provide six towels for my three-day stay because they allegedly didn't have enough. This seemed like an odd and inconvenient policy for a hotel, especially considering the length of my stay.

Another notable issue was the inconsistent cleanliness throughout the hotel. While some areas were adequately maintained, the halls in certain parts of the hotel had a noticeable unpleasant odor, reminiscent of a hamster cage. This was particularly off-putting and detracted from the overall comfort of the stay.

Additionally, the amenities were fairly basic and the overall ambiance of the hotel felt somewhat outdated and in need of refurbishment. The room itself was functional but lacked the modern touches and attention to detail that are increasingly expected in today's competitive hotel market.

Overall, while Econo Lodge provided a budget-friendly option for accommodation, the experience was marred by issues with towel availability and unpleasant odors in certain areas. These factors significantly impacted my enjoyment and comfort during my stay.

Eh, could be better

Day one I had to step outside to confirm I was actually at an Econo lodge, first impression is that of a higher class hotel. Very clean lobby area, not the overwhelming fabuloso kind either. The hallways and the room followed suit, clean and tidy. I needed to stay for four weeks, and everyday was homey. Proprietor AJ was on premise daily, recognized guests by name and was greeted by guests and staff respectfully. Speaking of staff, Amanda at front desk and Xsally with room service (among all the rest of staff, sorry, but im bad with remembering names) are actually professional in their roles and guest satisfaction is a priority. 
I just want to say thank you for making my stay comfortable and relaxing, and I want the public to know that this place is one of the few where professionals can get together and feel good doing so.

Great Stay

The location was great with no other hotels in the area. The manager, maybe owner, worked hard to keep everything up for guests, especially at breakfast. His work is what earned the 4 rating. Our room was clean. Work was needed around the AC and in the shower around the shower head. All worked great, just cosmetic items. For us, where this failed, or earned the "Econ" name was in the breakfast. Biscuits and Gravy, waffles and some juice. Some muffins, cold cereal and bread for toast.  No eggs, meat, fruit or anything health for that matter. If you are a diabetic or someone trying to watch what you eat, this isn't going to cut it. No restaurants close so dinner spots are 20-30 minutes away.  Really a nice place for rest, but has its issues.

Economy Sleeping

Stayed there one night and when I called a few days later to ask when my security deposit would be returned to my debit card they said the room was left dirty so they were keeping it! not dirty! Just normal trash left! Never stay there!

Never stay there. Very dishonest!

We arrived at 4am without a reservation & were greeted cheerfully and even assisted with my bags to 2nd floor.
The staff was helpful; rooms were clean, breakfast was available.
We had planned to stay a week but had to leave early due to a funeral back home, and the manager was extremely understanding and accommodating for our early departure.
I noticed at breakfast the manager & staff spoke with everyone and it was obvious they were "repeat" customers as we will be also.
It was a 13 mile drive v.s. where we intended to stay, but definitely worth the extra drive.

We will return.....very clean, excellent service & gracious, helpful staff & Manager

Not one hotel employee wore a mask ;  not one employee wore gloves for the breakfast area!  No signs were up for occupants to wear masks.  NO ONE ANYWHERE WORE MASKS!
The breakfast was dreadful, beyond imagination!  No fresh fruit ; no cups of yogurt.  Coffee cold;  hot water for tea , warm!  2% only milk which often was empty!
The rooms were adequate and the location , wonderful for people interested in area water activities; but the abysmal lack of hygiene merits a poor rating!

Wonderful location but not safe for coronavirus

I stayed here while my daughter went to Noel to go camping with her dad. Check-In was easy and I'm so grateful they put me in a room close to the front. I was close to the vending machines, ice machine, laundry area, and indoor pool. As we walked into our room, there was a slight smell but tolerable. The bathroom was on the left and was very clean. It had coffee and coffee cups there but no coffee maker?!? But they did have coffee in the lobby that was close by. The room had a mini fridge with a microwave on top. Close by, within walking distance, there was a gas station, subway, and mazzio's pizza. The noise level is the average hotel noise. My only complaints would be that the pool looked like it hasn't been cleaned, had film all around the top sides of the pool and you could see where people wrote their names in the film. The water had a salty feel instead of chlorine. They do have internet, but I kept losing connection. There really wasn't much parking and the location was hard to find for my gps, we ended up using google maps to find it. I would stay here again, if I was in the area. They do allow pets, but make sure you let them know ahead of time. I believe it was $10/ pet / night. A small town if you just want to get away from the city life.

No bad

We stayed here because it’s the only place in town. One in our group had bed bugs in their room.  There were greasy fingerprints all over our room.  The whole building smelled musty and reeked of cigarette smoke.   The biscuits with breakfast were like hockey pucks and the waffle syrup had a funk to it.   It’s cheap, but I’m still not sure it was worth the price.  

You get what you pay for.  

Returning to NE from Natchez MS, we were tired and stopped here.  The check in was easy and the clerk at the desk was very friendly and helpful.  I got the military discount and the price was so reasonable, I could not believe my eyes and wondered what the room would be like.  Well the room was a total surprise.  Talk about clean, it was sparkling from floor to ceiling !  The rooms were large and there was plenty of room - actually more than my wife and I needed.  We have paid much more for less.  Being retired military, I gave it an inspection - no problems found.  They even had a recliner chair - - how nice after driving for a day to really relax and watch TV.  The only thing I would suggest is that they had a great table, but only one chair for it.  2 chairs would be better.  My wife and I had our meal from Subway at the table, she had the chair and I sat on the luggage rack.  Worked out great.  In our many travels, if we pass through here again, we WILL stop here for the night.

Wow - a great place for a very reasonable price

I stayed overnight July 26, 2017. The hotel reeked of cigarette smoke- the lobby, the halls, but thankfully not my room.  I ordinarily would have ran out the door upon smelling the lobby, but I was exhausted and literally could not go on.  There are also no other choices in the town. I entered my room on the 2nd floor (had to drag my suitcase up a flight of narrow stairs- no elevator). Want ice? it's only available on the 1st floor, down the same narrow flight of stairs.  Yes, in case you are wondering, there is only 1 flight of stairs available, at 1 end of the hall.  Not very safe, in my own opinion. 

The 2nd floor also reeked of cigarette smoke (no smoking signs everywhere). I just wanted a shower and something to eat, then hit the sack. Nope- had to take a bath. The shower did not work. To drain the tub, I had to hold the very rusted out plug by hand, as it kept dropping back down- apparently from the very hard water? I am guessing that's why the shower stopped working?

I realized I had forgotten my toothbrush. I noticed the sign on the vanity regarding (like most places), "If you have forgotten a necessary toiletry item, please see our front desk for a complimentary replacement."  I did, and was informed that I would have to go to the convenience store that was in the next door strip mall to purchase one.

Speaking of, it was about 10:00 at night, and the place was DARK. No security lights between the hotel and the convenience store. Asking for trouble there, someday....

Cheap sheets, low thread count, as pilling occurring with each wash.

Cigarette hole burned in bed spread.

Carpet half-hearted vacuumed.  Hair pins underneath the vanity left over from previous occupants.  With the lack of care and lack of sense of urgency in cleanliness, I wasn't about to trust the complimentary breakfast.
