Let me just say that I didn't expect to get a free breakfast from an Econo Lodge when I only paid about $50 per night. It was mostly continental stuff (cereal, bagels, toast) but did have a waffle maker with pre-made batter, which looked great, but I didn't try.

We should have known when we entered the room. The moldy smell was incredible and was verified by the wall paper peeling from the walls and the almost squishy feel of the carpet. The air conditioner was loud, but had to be run at high speed to overcome the humidity. The breakfast bar was ok but unimpressive. On the plus... More

This hotel has the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on in a hotel! Entire hotel was very clean & comfortable with a staff that was really friendly. The breakfast has a huge variety of items. Great place to stay!
