“Exceptional value... but could still use a little sprucing up.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Stayed at Econolodge Riverside in October as part of a short getaway to see the fall foliage. Overall, I feel I got an exceptional deal. Room was about $67/night, mid-week, and included a breakfast (filling, but could've used more variety). I didn't use the indoor pool, but it appeared to be in good working order and well-kept. The ducks out back by the stream were an added entertainment bonus!

As for the room, it was quite small. The bed was comfortable, however, which is key for me. Had a handicapped room with handicapped shower. The floor of the shower seemed to give way when you stepped on it and the floor didn't seem to be angled for proper drainage. The hotel probably can't do much about the size of the room, but I hope they will consider renovating the handicapped shower stalls.

There is a business center in the lobby that guests can use. Front desk staff were friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

“Kids love this place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

We love this hotel. My family and I stayed here for a few days of relaxation before the holidays. The children loved relaxing in the pool and hot tub. The pool was kept at a nice temp and well maintained. The breakfast is nothing fancy but the price of the hotel is exceptional and we don't go for that purpose but it is nice to have the option. We have stayed here many times and plan on many more in the future.

“Good place for good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

Great stay over Thanksgiving Holiday. Rooms were great and service was great. Needs more meat or protein with breakfast, but still a great stay.

Have been staying there since 2004. Rooms are always clean, friendly efficient staff, good breakfast. Great location. Handles reservations efficiently, especially for a group. Will definitely return as a group and individually.

Room Tip: Can request a room with parking outside of door.

“Great price, great room, great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

The room was remodeled, and very clean! The price was a real bargain with a kitchenette! (well under several of the other places we checked on and much cleaner than most!) The entire building, (hallways, room, pool area, dining room, lobby, parking lot, ALL areas we were in) were super clean and well maintained. The staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating! We needed a maintenance person at one point and he was there in less than 5 minutes with a smile on his face. Problem was fixed quickly and no mess was left. We were very impressed. The parking lot was even washed during the day! They serve an above average breakfast with stay. (only complaint would be the dining area is small and extremely crowded during most of breakfast hours). The walls are thick (read very quiet!). Beds were very comfortable. Even something as minor as the hand soap provided was better than most! Nice size and shaped bars that were of good quality. (not the tiny gritty feeling ones that are usually provided at motels) This was just an overall good experience! For families with kids feeding the geese, ducks and other birds in back of motel along the river is great fun!
