The Econo Lodge can take a beating, proof of which is the flock of triathletes that descends here every year for Ironman and turns this place into what must be a living nightmare for the housekeeping staff and the management (our apologies and thanks from us and all the other triathletes that do this to you every year). It is not a fancy hotel (even though the rate during Ironman week would make you believe otherwise), but it's convenient, close enough to downtown to walk but far enough away not to be stuck in the crowds constantly. And the view on race-day is like no other - the bike course passes twice and the runners pass 4 times in front so plenty of action. Breakfast is dismal, but that's what you have energy gels and power bars for. The Lodge provides old towel cloths to clean your bike (best amenity ever), free wi-fi and a fridge in some rooms. We'll be back next year!
