There was a nice restaurant there but the continental breakfast was poor. Plumbing needs work and the room heater was noisy and couldn’t be adjusted.

Not a 7 as rated by other people who have stayed. First off we noticed that there was no microwave in the room as stated in the list of amenities on their Expedia page. When i questioned about as to why, they stated no microwave is provided. I showed the front desk women the list of amenities listed on their expedia page, and was just simply told they will inform management. She acknowledged i can bring my food up to the front counter, and they will heat it up for me. For one, thats unsanitary as i dont want other people touching my food. Second, i am not going to walk from one end of the hotel, to the other with hot containers for myself and my 2 kids. The second issue was the first room i was in. Didnt notice it right away as we got in late and went to bed shortly after arriving. I woke up to the room being very hot, when the heater was only set to 66. The floor was freezing cold in front of the heater, and i then noticed the heater was coming off the wall. Light could be seen from outside. The cold was tricking the heater into thinking the room was still cold, when it was hot. Got moved to a second room, which turned out to be ok at best. The bottom tile trim in the bathroom, behind the toilet was caved in. "Continental breakfast" is a joke. Cereal, bread and english muffins...thats it. I have stayed at other Econo Lodges that offered more such as a waffle maker, eggs and sausage. Not even the orange juice machine worked. Was just water. Will never stay here again

The room had only been partially cleaned. The bath tub was filthy with a ring around it; there was toothpaste on the side of the sink base. Disgusting!!!
