Pros:

We felt very welcome and comfortable at the Econo Lodge. When we needed assistance with the wifi, the staff came right to our room to assist with making the connection.
I was impressed with the pool/hot tub room, unfortunately I forgot my swim suit. Next time!
We are not big breakfast eaters but the lunchroom was well stocked and the coffee excellent.
We will definatelly stay there again! Thank you Econo Lodge

2 nachten was te lang
Pros:

Eigenlijk niets

Cons:

De score die ze hebben is voor mij onbegrijpelijk. Ik verwacht geen 4 of 5 sterren kwaliteit, maar het hotel is 2 sterren ook niet waard. Oud, versleten en smoezelig. Op verdieping 5 doet de lift het niet naar beneden. Het ontbijt was slecht, waarom anderen het goed en uitgebreid vonden is mij een raadsel.: brood om te roosteren, mufffins en smakeloze pannenkoeken uit een machine. Wat er is, is zoet zoet en zoet. En koffie, of eigenlijk zwart water. Niet uitgebreid en wat er was slechte kwaliteit op wegwerp servies. De omgeving is troosteloos.
