Was much cleaner and updated than most Econo Lodges or any two star hotels, for that matter. Beds were comfortable; the room was clean and neat. The exterior was fairly un kept - a lot of weeds and overgrown bushes. Was a contrast to the interior? The breakfast was of low quality as compared to other hotels at the same room rate.
Positives: Much better than most Econo lodges - staff was very accommodating.
Negatives: Exterior needed cleaned up a lot of weeds - looked overgrown. It did a nice hotel a disservice.

Check in was efficient but there were no maps to the room. Lobby was dingy and dated but my room was fine, a good value for a twin double nonsmoking on pool side. Continental Breakfast consisted of cold cereal, coffee, OJ, and your choice of a plain beagle or toast, not bad for the $! I had to make the coffee (no attendant) and turn on the overhead fans; it was hot in the dining area.
Positives: Great value for an overnight stay.
Negatives: Minimal staff, common areas was dated and dingy.

This hotel is the worst I have ever been to. The service was very poor and unhelpful. The hotel has a club in it and there were 200 to 300 people in and around the hotel lobby/club. The rooms all around us were booked and full of partiers. The room was smelly and dirty. The furniture all had burn marks where people let cigarettes burn on them. The bed clothes were stained and unkempt. The bathroom was filthy and stained. The faucet leaked and was heard from the bed room.
Positives: Nothing. It was dirty and I had to park 4 blocks from the hotel.
Negatives: Everything. When I asked the clerk about a refund she basically laughed at me and told me that she couldn't help me.

Negatives: The rooms were musty smelling.

Just not up to normal standard. Check-in was slow and inefficient. My daughter had a high school athletic competition and the noise level outside our room made sleeping difficult. This was the only traffic way for others in the entire hotel to get ice and use vending. Also no ice buckets in room. You had to go outside briefly between room and lobby, ice, vending, breakfast area. I chose this over other hotels we had tried for the continental breakfast, but will not choose Economy Lodge again. With a stay last month we tried Quinta Inn for the first time with another service and was very pleasantly surprised with the value and the accommodations, service.
Positives: Continental breakfast available.
Negatives: Room by stairs and general ice maker, loud people passing all night.
