If you’re just looking for a quick nights sleep in a great location with very friendly staff this is your spot!
Pros:

Great location. The staff is super nice.

Cons:

Could have been cleaner. Watch out for riff raff in the parking lot - lots of people seem to just randomly walk through it while not even staying there.

Great value accommodation meeting our real needs.
Pros:

We were travelling with a friend who needed an open area with supports for showering. This was the first time we found accommodation that would suit his needs. And the staff were very accommodating to give us a room close to his when they realised he needed support. This was all done with a minimum of fuss and no extra cost.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The lobby smelled like urine. The clerk was okay, checked me into my room, but somebody was already in it very sketchy.

Cons:

My room smelled horribly. There was dried boogers and mucus on the walls above my bedframe. There were stains on the bed. I was given an aerosol can to help with the smell, it didn't. I had to personally ask housekeeping to enter with bleach, they couldn't get the mucus off the walls.

Pros:

We booked through a third party and when we arrived they could not find our reservation. Econo lodge looked into it and we got a room without extra expense.
Breakfast was fait

Cons:

The room smelled clean but the floor was filthy
We had 2 bath towels. No wash cloths or hand towel. TV remote did not work
Overall the place was pretty run down.

Sad, don't waste your money, keep driving.
Pros:

Nothing, Place was dirty, random tape over the pep hole on the door, turn the lights on when i walked into the room, light was flashing like a stop light at an intersection, turned on a lamp and shut off the disco light, air-conditioning unit turned way down and no way to control it, it was a window unit mounted up high against the ceiling, had to stand on a night stand to shut it off, bath room sink water would not get hot, bathtub did, but the facet was held on with some kind of wide white tape, there was a blue bottle cap in the tub drain, the toilet seat was coming off, you had to Aline it before you set down, and the fridge was dirty, spilled dried on something, was going to stay a second night and asked the front desk person when I ckeck in, but when I saw the room, there was no way! took about 30 seconds, it was about 10 pm when I got there, if it was earlier and I hadn't been driving 12 hrs I would have left. When the sun came up you come see this place was a wreck.

Cons:

Read above post

Shocked this was 100 dollars, more like 20 bucks you pay me to stay there.
Pros:

Zero

Cons:

First room moldy smell dark and damp, floor by the door under the rug my foot went into a hole. Got another room, black hair in the hair dryer vent, no light bulb in bathroom black hair on floor of bathroom. Person upstairs who lives there permanently was up all night. Old build could hear everything to include flushing of toilet and rolling chair across the floor. He was up till 230 am. Not a good night. And if I would have known you rent to extended stay permanent residents I would have never booked. I stayed thinking it would be ok. Ice machine turned off. At 7 went for coffee, not made and had to search everywhere as no employee in the building. Tragic waste of money.

I’ll never come back, nor recommend this to anyone.
Pros:

It was clean and after requesting a room change they provided one.

Cons:

I requested a smoking room, the peephole was just a hole in the door. A wasp flew through the peephole. There was a tampon string in the bathtub. I did get a new room, but it wasn’t a smoking room. The new room had bubbling flooring, multiple signs of general maintenance neglect (uneven paint across, patches of tile on walls, badly scuffed furniture, no window screens, busted in bathroom door).

Great customer service!
Pros:

I actually book this hotel before finding out that highway 550 was closed and Silverton to Montrose was actually more like 4 and 1/2 hours instead of one. Between booking.com and the person at the front desk I was able to get my mistake fixed and that means a lot!
