What guests think

Across the reviews, Economy Inn is frequently described as clean with friendly, accommodating staff, delivering basic, good-value lodging in an older, motel-style property that has seen some recent updates but still shows age and occasional maintenance shortcomings.

Rooms are generally comfortable for short stays, though some guests report hard mattresses or pillows and sporadic noise, plus maintenance problems like leaky toilets, worn carpet, or faulty microwaves. Most comments praise cleanliness, but a few mention lapses such as stained carpet, hair in the tub, or even bugs. Expect a straightforward, budget stay with helpful service.

A fantastic hotel for what you're paying for. It's a clean room, comfortable bed, microwave and fridge, in-room coffee, your parking is next to your room and very friendly staff. For $100 a night, it is the ONLY option in Taylorville. I wish they had more rooms, because they are often sold out on nights I need a place!

I stay here often. It's about the best hotel in Taylorville IL. The property is old, and the rooms are dated, but, the owners keept things very clean and smelling nice. Comfortable bed, bathroom is functional, coffee maker, refridgerator, wifi and cable tv all worked well.

No outlets in the bathroom, BUT there was a table with a mirror to do my hair and face. Rooms were very comfortable. I was very pleased for the price!

We have stayed at the Economy Inn a few times and always book the same room. Unfortunately, during this stay the room was not available due to a maintenance issue. The room we stayed in was a much bigger room, three double beds, which was fine, but it could use a little maintenance itself. The carpet was very stained and dirty and turned the bottom of our socks black. The microwave did not work and the shower head was in need of replacement. The bathroom was clean and the heat worked great and offered a nice warm room for our stay. Overall I give it three stars.

This motel is in shabby condition. I was awakened by voices next door at 3 a.m., and they were still going at 6 a.m. The shower head was good, but the tub slippery with no mat, bath treads, or grab bars, making it a bit treacherous. Bed was OK but sheets and towels were low quality. No hair dryer. Additional fee charged for using credit card. I wouldn't stay here again.

This is an older property, a motel with each room having an outside door to the parking lot. It is very dated in style and in need of some maintenance. On the other hand, there have been some updates, notably plenty of outlets to recharge electronic devices. We found the room to be very clean, and were pleasantly surprised to discover housekeeping had refreshed the room before our second night. The AC was noisy as I expected from a single room unit, but worked well and allowed the fan to stay on where it became white noise instead of cycling on and off every few minutes. I would not recommend this place for an extended stay, but it worked well for us as a place to sleep while attending a weekend event in the area.

It’s a decent place to stay. Been there several times visiting family. It’s older but does the job. However this last trip the mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable. Other rooms there have much better mattresses. I know they are updating. Maybe they will get new mattresses for that room

very clean rooms. only has one chair. no other place to sit but the bed. nice people to check in, but no one to check out with so we could tell them the toilet leaks and runs all night long. Looks like they are fixing the place up so hopefully they fix them for the next person.

Always a good stay! We arrived early. Some motels would make you wait until check in time. We had been on the road for over 14 hours. They quickly made up our rooms first and checked us in immediately! That was great and so appreciated! They are awesome!

We heeded a place to lay our heads along a specific route adhering to a tight schedule with a later-than-usual arrival time and departure before dawn. Many might have overlooked the Economy Inn, but the reviews were really good, so I took a chance and booked it. Arriving around 9:45 p.m., we checked in and immediately upon entering our room, my wife gave the room her “once-over”. Her response was, “It’s clean”. The room was very adequately furnished and suited our needs for a few hours of sleep. When we need the same thing in that neck of the woods again, we already know where we’ll stay compared to higher priced lodging.
