Econo Lodge

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 11 Sep 2011 rated 2 out of 10.

I stayed in the Econo Lodge in the room for 2 nights and 3 days. I picked this hotel after reading the reviews. The room I got smelled like smoke and all the rooms in the hotel were non smoking.I went down to the front desk and the guy managing the hotel said that the housekeeper mentioned this before we moved into the room.(how could he let us move in!) the hotel was booked out and there were no rooms left for us to switch rooms. I was stuck in a room that smelled like smoke for 3 days. The hotel manger said that he would credit me 35$ to my account. guess what, when I was checking out, he was no where to be found, the manager's wife did not speak any English and she did not know about any refunds promised by her husband. When I called back to the hotel, I managed to speak to the hotel manager, he remembered me and he said that he would credit my account asap, its been almost 2 weeks and still nothing in my account. I am very disappointed in the service.

Positives: Close to the beach.

Negatives: The non-smoking room I got smelled like smoke.

Overall, my family and I were pleased with the price, size, and location of the hotel. It would have be nice to have a better way of heating the room other than the portable furnace leaving the room cold since it was winter and our location was close to water. We would definitely stay there again.

Positives: Room was a good size for my family.

Negatives: Did not care for the way the room was heated (plunging furnace).

We were staying there overnight just in passing. The rooms were very clean, didn't have bad smell, which is really good for a motel that old. It was your typical cheap motel, with old furniture, old TV, and small parking area. We had a small trailer with us, so we had to park in the street. It was pretty safe though! There was a very small continental breakfast that was OK, nothing great.

Positives: Beautiful view of Morro Bay Rock.

Negatives: Parking lot is very tiny.

The amount of money that<BR/>I spent. This was one of the worst rooms I've slept in. Never again. Save your money!

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Way too expensive. Not attractive at all.

The parking area is very small and hard to maneuver. I was given a room up stairs and down a narrow hall which was inconvenient with 4 small children. I don't believe I will stay at this hotel again.

Positives: Close to the beach.

Negatives: How inconvenient it was to get to our room having small children.

Overall it was a very good place to stay. The beds need to be upgraded mine was very uncomfortable. The room was next to a busy street with a lot of noise. Every time someone used the restroom or showered it was very loud in my room.

Positives: The room and lobby were very clean,staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The parking was tight (I had a van).

Accommodations were to be as expected for this rate of hotel. Front desk receptionist was very friendly. The room was clean. The decor was nice in our room. Front desk had only one lower level room and gave it to my parents.

Positives: Hotel was close to shopping and dining.

Negatives: Very small parking lot if you have a large vehicle.

I'd prefer something a little more upscale, but when traveling on a budget.

Positives: Close to Morro Rock, restaurants and quaint little town.

Negatives: No pool. One star.

There was no housekeeping service-no towels, no garbage collection, no new soap and shampoo the second day, no clean linen. Awful.

Positives: Can't think of anything.

Negatives: No maid service!

The hotel is only good for a pit stop on your road trip. Would not recommend for more than one night. I got better internet reception from the Days Inn across the street. The rooms were clean but very low quality and showing age. The front desk manager was very friendly.

Positives: The front desk manager was very friendly.

Negatives: The free internet had no reception.

Good for an economy hotel. A decent place to sleep, but no frills.

Positives: Not bad for one star, just a place to sleep. Bed was clean.

Negatives: Carpet was worn and a bit dirty.

Positives: The view was good and the room was clean.

Negatives: The parking was not the very best.

It's late at night and we are looking through a travel/coupon guide and decide the price was right at the economy lodge in morrow bay. And bonus -- there is a continental breakfast. We book our room and when we think we're done, the clerk disappears into his space in the back and returns with a Tupperware container that's at least 15 years old. The lid is stained and will never be like-new again. He opens the lid revealing four muffins obviously home-made - right out of a box of instant mix! He says to us, command-like, word for word, "take a muffin and eat it in the morning" with a slight accent. My friend and I about wet ourselves holding in the laughter long enough to say no, thank you, and exit out of the office. So that was our continental breakfast offering. Further, the toilet in our room didn't flush, and then overflowed. Not once, but three times. He was so rude and seemed so put out to have to come allele the way over to our room and service the Lou. This hotelier! Then, my friend calls economy lodge main office and complains to someone making minimum wage to be a good listener. This good listener offered my friend and me another stay at this place. Wow. We declined, of course.

Positives: I liked there was a vacancy. Then it ended.

Negatives: I was very disappointed in the whole enterprise.

I would stay at this hotel again because of the location. It is in walking distance to everything in town and the freeway on/off ramps is close by. The rooms and the area around the hotel are clean.

Positives: Location for us was perfect. Hotel was clean which is what we look for most in a hotel.

Negatives: One shower towel smelled like smoke.
