The only real complaint would be the slight musty smell when we entered the room. Bed was very comfortable. The rooms were mostly occupied, but all was quiet. Could use more handicap parking. We will stay again.

Place was fine except for the room was especially humid, and there was no vent fan in the bathroom to help after showers so that just made it worse. Convenience to the casino and okay breakfast is the good.

This location is very centrally located and close to our family that we were visiting. The hotel is very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the front desk lady very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. We plan to return soon.

The staff was excellent. Property was clean and well kept. Only real gripe was that Wifi was worse than spotty. Tried it on three separate devices (2 phones and a newer laptop). Was not able to access a consistent signal on any of our devices for more than a few minutes at a time when it did connect (yes, we rebooted the devices- multiple times). The continental breakfast was exactly that, but was fresh and tasty. Again, the staff was excellent. Looking for a clean, safe place, with a convenient location at a great value? This would be the place.

Hotel was good but too noisy. Some customers were so loud and they were sitting at the porch and talking so noisy. Some customers HD motorcycle owner and continuously back and forth to parking area regardless what time was it. Nobody from management warn them. I understand some customers were having fun but some of them want to get rest.

Clean on the surface...I wouldn't stay again.

We prepaid through hotels.com for our room. The facility called us to make sure we were going to show up for our prepaid room starting at 5:00 at night. We couldn't answer the phone because there was no cell service. When asked about the phone call the facility said they were just checking on our ETA even though the offices open 24 hours???? When you arrive you have to sign a paper agreeing to a $250 fine if you smoke in the room. However when you go in the room it smells like a casino floor after midnight... Stale, musty, humid and like old smoke. Couldn't open the window because there was no screen and it was springtime so lots of bugs outside. Really really not good. I was embarrassed to have brought my mother there to stay. When I spoke to the gentleman at the front desk about the odor he said they can't control that people stand outside the rooms and smoke at all hours... The air conditioning had trouble cooling the room and did nothing for the humidity. Very poor water pressure in shower. Great handicapped safety bars in bathroom. The bed was uncomfortable enough that my mother had back pain for most of the next day. The construction of hotel is old so heavy bricks which means that the room was quiet even when the 20+ motorcycle group started up their Harleys early in the morning to leave. So that part was nice. Overall, I wouldn't stay again.

There's a reason I keep coming back to the Econo Lodge! Yes, it's always super clean, with comfortable beds, beautiful scenery, and an excellent location, but it's the friendly staff that's my #1. This time, a shout-out to Erin! Thank you.
