Because of recent flooding, I found myself checking into EconoLodge at 4am. The clerk on duty was very courteous and welcoming. I asked about a discount for government employees and I was informed that although EconoLodge does not have this because their prices are already reasonable, they did have a coupon that she would be willing to let me use. (something she didn't have to do) Although it was 4am when I got into my room, I clearly remember being struck with the impression that this room was clean and didn't seem to be in any disrepair. (I did look...the only thing I found was a missing light bulb) The bathroom was just as impressive. Mind you, this is not the Ritz, it's EconoLodge. I had very low expectations for this motel and they blew them out of the water. As far as any ill odors, I didn't smell a thing. The thing that prompted me to write this review was based on the fact that when I left the next morning, I left quite a bit of money in the room, on accident (my 5 yr old daughters money!). My mind was on getting home to see how much damage there was from the flood. Monday, I called and inquired about lost and found. This is where I have my only negative remark...this particular clerk was not helpful, nice or even the least bit concerned about helping me track down my daughters money. In fact, she said they didn't have it. I called again Tuesday and asked to speak to the owner. After speaking with this different clerk, who after hearing my story, was very in tune with how i was feeling and assured me that one way or another, i would hear from the owner. Needless to say, 10 minutes later, she calls saying the owner had found the money himself (Because of all the flooding they had been extremley busy and that's why he was helping clean the rooms) and had put it in a safe. Something else they didn't have to do. He could have kept it with no repercussions, I wouldn't have known any different. I can't comment about the food, because I was anxious to get home. I would recommend this motel based soley on the integrity of the owner returning my money and the two positive and helpful clerks that I dealt with.

The first thing to know is that this hotel shares a parking lot with a bar named Brewski's. Loud music, obnoxious drunks. Plan on waking up at bar closing time.

The continental breakfast is a joke. 2 cold cereals, 1 type of stale pastry, white bread and waffles to toast.

Front desk personnel are rude and certainly not enthused about their jobs.

The rooms are old and maintenance has not been a priority. Doors are drafty.

My family stayed there over this past weekend. We had two sets of adjoining rooms. The problem is that only one of the rooms apparently can be cleaned. The adjoining half (in both sets) was not cleaned, there were no clean towels, absolutely nothing was done.
When we complained to the desk clerk, we were told that fresh towels were put out at 8AM. Well, we were still in the room at 8AM and there were no clean towels. When we asked to speak to the manager, we were told he wouldn't be on duty until 8AM the next morning. Then the desk called and said they would be bringing us clean towels. It was after 11PM by this time. No towels arrived.
So a little after 8, one of our party walked down and was told the manager wouldn't be there until 11AM, conveniently right after check-out time. We asked for a discount and were told only the manager could arrange that. So we filled out a complaint form, took the towels that they offered us and vowed to stay somewhere else next year.

I will second the first review here! This was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. We arrived late and asked for a king bed....what we received was two double beds, and we were too tired to complain by the time we got to the room. The bathroom was disgusting...I did not even want to step my bare feet in it! It had hair still left in it! Gross! The toilet had some kind of brownish/red goop on it....needless to say I put a lot of paper on it before using it! Double gross! In addition, in order to flush the toilet you had to hold the lever down while it ever so slowly flushed. The beds were not uncomfortable but upon getting into the bed I found the sheets were not clean.....hair all over the sheets! Spring an extra $10 and stay ANYWHERE else in Seymour besides Econo Lodge! Even the Motel 6 looked like a 5 star resort in comparison!
