What guests think

Econo Lodge delivers budget-friendly stays in a convenient, generally quiet location, with many guests praising the staff, but reviews are mixed on room condition and cleanliness, and amenities like breakfast and the pool tend to be basic or inconsistent.

Feedback ranges from very clean rooms to reports of dirty floors, odors or smoke, mold, and occasional bugs. Rooms are dated with inconsistent mattress comfort, thin walls and noise, and recurring maintenance issues such as faulty locks, plumbing, and fixtures. Expect a simple, low-cost stay where location and price beat amenities and polish.

The beds in our room were not great. Once felt like a brick, and the other was noisy and caved in the middle. We also had booked two queens, but the beds looked more like fulls. There also was a very limited selection for breakfast. The pool did look nice, however it was too cold to swim. I didn't see any hot tub like shown in the pictures.

Spent one night here and the rooms seem nice but the walls are thin and you can hear everything outside and from upstairs. The pool is outdoors and they had no pool towels available when we tried to use the pool. There was essentially no breakfast. Just pre packed muffins.

I had stayed at this hotel this past weekend. I couldn’t figure out why I kept waking up with a cough, a stuffy nose and a sore throat. Until the last morning there the remote fell behind the headboard. So I moved the bed out and along the whole baseboard was black mold. I pulled out the other bed and it looked the same way. I would like a refund. 1/2 my money because I am now sick.

Room could have been cleaner. Some bugs and dirt around corners and walls. Shower displayed scum build up on walls. Breakfast was extremely lacking. Supposed to be served till 10. We went at 830, barely enough gravy to put on my biscuit, only bread, 1 English muffin left, 2 wrapped muffins, couple apples and cereal. Only coffee to drink, juice was not working, a little milk available for cereal. Very disappointing. People were coming in and.turning back around to leave.

First there was no one working at the feont desk when we arrived, we had to fo to the hotel next door to check in. Then, one of our rooms had a toilet so gross that the overnight worker exclaimed, "Jesus Christ!" when he came to clean it. Then, in our second room we discovered bedbugs. Disgusting! I pavked up our kids and left immeadiately!

Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. The walls between rooms must not of had much sound insulation in it. You could easily hear the noise and talking going on in the adjacent room. It was very annoying and kept us awake.

Plumbing is LOUD all night! If you have a jetted tub in your room expect to hear LOUD gurgling noises through your tub throughout the night. We were there 2 nights and hardly slept night 1 because we originally thought the tub was backing up with all the noises coming through it. The second night seemed like people maybe weren’t using them as much and we only heard it twice through the night. Bed is too soft. Otherwise it is a perfectly average hotel stay. Nothing great just a cheap bed for the night close enough to the strip to do some site seeing. The plumbing will keep us from ever going there again.

The only good thing was location. They gave our room to other people three times in a day. When we arrived, they didn\'t have us in the system, and I had just spoken to someone 45 minutes earlier. When we got to the room it was filthy. Your feet got black just walking across the floor in five minutes. So, we wore shoes. No one had cleaned in a long time, there was pop bottle caps and dust and dirt piled under beds. People were slamming doors all night and sitting in their car getting high. I think there were a lot of people just living there. I called to ask for a wakeup call and was told "they were not a service hotel and did not do this." We had booked just one night and toughed it out. Beds were broken part of the frame laying on the floor. Did not sleep and were more tired than when checked in. Do not stay sleeping in your car may be better.

Room was clean. Beds and pillows were super comfy. Office staff were awesome and very helpful when we needed extra towels/toilet paper ect. Our older kids had an issue with the hotel they booked so needed a room and guy (justin i think?) At the desk jumped on it and got them a room at the econo lodge as well so the trip wasnt ruined. Pool was clean and perfect for us and everyone else there tbh. Locarion was absolutely perfect for what we needed for our branson trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend. For the price, cant beat it. We will be staying there again on our next vacation.

Advertised included breakast did have hot biscuits and gravy - in 2 crockpots, and some bread to make toast, and some raisin bran and cheerios- thats about it- not even a waffle maker or yogurt.

Was ok hotel but have stayed at much better hotels there for same or less money! Breakfast same thing everyday which was biscuits and gravy, had one kind of muffin, English muffins, slice of bread, cereal, coffee, apple or orange juice that was all ur options and bathrooms in the rooms are very small, no microwaves in room, very small mini fridge as well, ac only worked on one speed which was high so you either got to play freeze out or could turn it off and be hot! Your choice! I will personally go a different hotel next time!
