<BR/>
Priceline advised contacting hotel for special accommodations-hotel stated no problem for smoking and easy handicap access, just to tell when arrived-hotel stated should not have went through Priceline, should have called direct-declined to pay extra for night for smoking room, but was charged anyway even though did not smoke in room-was charged for safe never used or asked for-parking was terrible for handicapped-no Ice machine on floor-was at convention so barely there but will not go back.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Was charged for smoking when did not smoke, no ice on floor, difficult for handicapped.

Good choice for anyone who is needing a convenient place to rest or stay for a shorter time. Location at Lake of the Ozarks is great, right in the center of everything my wife and I wanted to do (shopping, eating, conference).

Positives: Very friendly staff. Rooms were very clean.

Negatives: I had trouble with wi-fi. Not sure who's fault that was.

I have stayed at this location on several occasions and the hotel is always clean and the staff great! However it has some of the worst parking I have ever encountered, it is however manageable even in a extended cab, long bed truck, you just have to find some of the less obvious lower parking areas.

Positives: The Hotel is clean and the Staff is great!

Negatives: The parking is horrible.

A very unethical manager. This franchise gives Econo Lodge a black eye. I made reservations there for three nights in January, and called back 10 days before the reservation to change to two days. The manager changed the charge so that two nights cost more than three. I tried to cancel, and the manager said there was a policy of no cancellations within 2 weeks of the reservation. He claimed an Email was sent with that policy at time of reservation. None was received. Called the corporate offices in Maryland, they were sympathetic but could not force a cancellation. I stayed there unwillingly, the manager asked at check out if I had stolen his iron.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Unethical manager.

Generally, we were please with the room for the price. The only issue we had was when we returned to our room at 4pm (we stayed two nights), and it had not yet been cleaned. When I reported this to the desk, we were told that the housekeeping staff was late that day. When they finally showed up, we were settled in for a while and would only let them in for the trash and to bring fresh towels.

Positives: Overall, the staff was very friendly.

Negatives: There were boxes of local magazines piled in the lobby. Not attractive at all!

Good hotel location wise. Maids never came by to clean room. Good choice for business traveler (free wife), but unless its summer time would not pick for a family destination.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: No room service/cleaning.

The breakfast was a disappointment. The waffles were good but the fruit was fruit cocktail. The apple juice tasted mostly of water. The room was clean but got stuffy in the night no matter how high we tried to turn the AC on.

Positives: Convenient location.

Negatives: The continental breakfast was not as good as expected.

Night staff is extremely rude (daytime staff-the owner is hospitable). Hotel is close to highway, poor hilly parking situation, no sidewalk or grassy places to walk around grounds, outdoor pool (which was closed) is right in the middle of the parking lot, complimentary breakfast was very poor, unable to regulate shower, water was uncomfortably hot.

Positives: We were booked for only 2 nights--that was enough!!

Negatives: Check-in staff was extremely rude.

The parking area for the Lodge was too hilly and should have been more leveled off. The rooms were very nice, though the bathrooms could have been a bit bigger. The beds were comfortable, though the pillows were small and hard. The TV was quite nice, and very well placed for viewing from the beds. Having the iron and ironing board in the rooms is quite handy.

Positives: Waffles for breakfast and an internet connected computer in the lobby.

Negatives: Only 1 washer and dryer and the elevator broke down.
