As noted in the previous reviews, this Econolodge is a step up from the average Econolodge motel/hotel throughout most of the country (I've stayed in an unfortunate few). The rooms are very clean and all the staff / management are very friendly & helpful. Even though the towels are barely above what you receive after gym class in a public... More

I've stayed at the Princeton Econolodge several times, mostly when making trips from the nearby Amtrak station. It's not a full-service luxury hotel, but it's a step above most budget properties. The Econolodge is located just south of I-80 and about a mile from downtown Princeton (from which there are several Amtrak trains daily to and from Chicago). There is... More

Just stayed here and will definitely stay here again.The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and the location perfect. The hotel is close to a wide variety of stores and restaurants. Couldn't beat the price either.

Here we are back in Princeton just over a year after our last visit. This time for the birth of our grandson. :) Last years motel stay (at a different motel) did not go that well so we were kind of leery. The front desk staff was friendly and very efficent. Check in was painfree and quick. Cost: $411.32 check... More

I've been to this motel about 5 different times. To me, it's a nice place to sleep. It has several restaurants near by. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Friendly staff, also!

This hotel is staffed by a nice group of people, and I felt very comfortable here as a solo traveler. No fitness center, which is a bummer, but it does have an indoor pool. It's clean enough and secure, but it's unbelievable that they still allow smoking inside. If you allow smoking anywhere on a floor, you're essentially saying that... More

We stopped here for a night on a cross country drive. I chose this one because it was inexpensive and conveniently located to I-80. Hotel could definately use a renovation. Most of the furniture in the room seemed a bit old and run down. However, room was clean, bed was comfy, and the high speed internet worked reasonably well. It's... More

This Econo Lodge was clean and functional and provided us a good place to stay for our trip into this area. The fridge and microwave were nice and the staff was very nice. The only thing we noticed was that are door frame was slightly large than the door so there was a small crack.

The bed was comfortable, but small, just like the room. There is food near close by, but you have to drive because it's on a busy road. The first floor wreaked of chlorine. Staff was rude and unfriendly (also gave me a hard time when I called from the road about payment). Stay at the nice looking place across the... More

Just what you expect from an Econo Lodge. Hot water and clean sheets. The microwave and fridge was nice. The hotel wasn't noisy. It had an elevator and free breakfast. There were people in the pool when we checked in. the only "interesting" thing was the smell of curry throught the upstairs hallway. :) I'd stay again.
