The Lenoir City Econo Lodge is conveniently located near gas stations, other area lodgings and a variety of places to eat, including a Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesday, and a local buffet place. The place is clean, with what seemed to be very new sheets (ours were a dark red....unusual and kind of sexy!) and soft towels. (I did, however, have a large cobweb in the corner over the bed, but there were no bugs in it ... ha, ha!!).

The manager was very upbeat and friendly, and offered to help in any way he could. When I pointed the cobweb out to him, it was taken care of. He made me a cup of tea for breakfast (I could have put it in the microwave myself, but he offered to do it for me), and the free breakfast was ok for Econo Lodge....coffee, tea, OJ, bananas, muffins and danish. He was jpleasantly curious about where we came from/why we were traveling and gave his card to folks upon checkout in case they wished to make future reservations.

Attended a wedding in Tellico Village, stayed at
Econo-Lodge for 3 nights. Chose this (on Travelocity)because of the information about the hotel and the reasonable price. What a mistake- should have stayed at the Comfort Inn or Hampton Inn for $20 more per night. When we arrived they did not have our reservation, luckily I had printed it out so they had to honor it. Room was very small and lights were so dim you had hardly any light at all. Room was dirty, M&M's on the floor around the bed and the bedding was disgusting - cigarette holes in blanket and bedspread and spots (blood and white stains) on both. They advertised coffee makers, there were none. They also advertised continental breakfast. My husband asked where it was, they said in the lobby, which was the size of a box. They said to come down and they would give us a tray to take it to the room. He went down and they had to go in the back to get our coffee and the man in the office grabbed a packaged muffin from the refrigerator. My husband said there were 2 of us so they gave him one more and asked if we wanted to have them warmed in the microwave because they had been taken from the freezer. All in all, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Spend $20 more and get a decent one.
