For $54 total, I got a clean room in a safe area with good service. Econo Lodges are known for the basics--a cheap, clean, no frills place to stay. This is what I received by giving them my business.
The room was clean, complete with refrigerator, microwave and much to my surprise--a pillowtop mattress. Liking a softer bed, I had no problem with this, but travelers with back issues requiring a more firm mattress may need to go somewhere else. I got free wireless internet with the room and there were zero problems with the connection. The room was chilly when I first got in, but it took no time for the heater to do its job. I was grateful for the heater when I first arrived, because it provided a steady non-jarring hum, which fortunately sounded out the 'thump' sound coming from the bar next door.
The service was cordial and efficient. There was a minimal continental breakfast provided, consisting of fruits, muffins, coffee, juice, etc., and a free copy of USA Today.
I would recommend this to anyone passing through Bend, as the resort town's lodging can be spendy in peak times. It's an average establishment with the potential for an excellent night's sleep.
