"Non-smoking Room" smelled like stale smoke. Toilet seat was filthy (was put up by housekeeping, but never cleaned), sheets on both beds had cigarette holes burned in them, sheet on one bed had a soiled spot. Thankfully I had my own blanket to sleep in so I didn't have to touch the sheets. ICK! Wish I had read the reviews... More

This budget motel provided a useful stopover between a long transatlantic flight and the drive to Yosemite. We had a large bedroom and bathroom, which fortunately was away from the road, so very quiet. There was some old furniture and fittings, but the place was very clean. There is a light complimentary breakfast (doughnuts and coffee), which was welcome. There... More

Run by a family that tries hard in hard times, a bit of differed maintenance which in my opinion is an important indicator of how the room feels. A little more attention to detail would be beneficial. I know things are tough but one has to spend money to make money. Good for a room for the night and close... More

Everything was clean and well maintained. When we arrived we were upgraded to a king Jacuzzi suite. The upgrade was free but it cost $20 to turn on the jacuzzi. That wasn't important to us but it seemed pretty cheap of them to do that. Everything was clean and quiet. We had a good time.I would stay there again.

We were at the end of a tiring vacation and I was so pleased with our stay at Econo Lodge. We got in rather late but the clerk was pleasant, the room was clean (and no smoke smell) as were the grounds and walkways. I was not aware of other travelers or traffic noise and was able to sleep in... More
