“Fast Internet but second floor is a furnace”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

This place has blazingly fast wifi (5MB/second), but the second floor is really hot. They don't turn on the AC in the rooms, so our room was a furnace that took a long time to cool on a hot day. The hallways are also beastly hot, even though it was a cool night. Otherwise, it is a typical you get what you pay for place.

“For the Budget minded”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2010

For one night it wasn't bad. The staff was very accommodating - we had burned out bulbs by the bed and when we took them downstairs, they handed us new light bulbs. There is no elevator (that we saw), so if you cannot cart your bags upstairs, ask for a downstairs room. The rooms all open into a central hallway which is not air conditioned. Beware in the heat! The rooms were not cool upon arrival in mid-afternoon, but when we returned from touring the town (the Bluestem is not to be missed!) and dinner, the temperatures were good. The hotel was quiet. Rooms were a little worn, but for one night we weren't that picky. The rooms appeared to have been updated, but there were spots on the wallpaper. My bed was soft - one of my friend's was hard. I think the other was soft as well. New TV's with cable. The free continental breakfast was cereal, orange juice, waffles and sweet rolls. The sweet rolls appeared to be Dolly Madison - that bakery is a couple of blocks away. The bathroom was clean - there was a massaging shower head, but out of the four selections, only one worked. The motel provided shampoo, soap and lotion. There is a small pool outside that appeared clean... we did not take advantage of it. Again, for a basic place to sleep for one night, the Econo Lodge sufficed. No frills.

“Very Quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2010

Small hotel [50 rms?] located between small mall and residential area. Convenient to highway and number of fast food places, gas station, Walgreen. Noticed when I walked in that the airconditioner was off and the room smelled musty, but a/c made it go away. Very quiet. Wireless internet, new TV w/ lots of channels, frig, microwave, etc. As has been said, breakfast was cereal, donuts, or waffle. Clean, comfortable room at a good price.

“No frills but OK”

The room was large, but the bathroom was very tiny. Internet access was great. The hotel advertised a continental breakfast, but it was the sparsest one I have ever seen. We ended up going to the nearby Burger King.
