Service
9
Service was mixed but often praised: several guests complimented friendly staff and an excellent first-shift manager, though one severe incident with a desk clerk (billing/access issue) strongly damaged some stays.
Location
9.5

Lesson learned.
Pros:

The breakfast was disappointing and very limited. No working ice machine and limited availability for purchase of snacks as vending machine required exact change but desk clerk was very limited for availability.
The rate we were quoted was changed when we checked in and now that we have checked out and returned home they are adding an additional charge of 160 dollars with no explanation as to what this is for.

Cons:

Everything, including the way this was handled with booking.com. econ Lodge will not be a choice for us in future.

Great location.

Cons:

Bathroom looked dirty along the baseboards and along the floor in front of the shower.
Only one bar of soap, no hair conditioner.
Continental breakfast left something to be desired.
