I stayed at the Econo Lodge for 6 weeks in January/February 2013. Simply put, the hotel is what it's supposed to be: honest accommodation for an honest price, plus hot waffles in the morning. But the best thing about it is definitely the people. On that note, I would like to thank the owner, Sam Bhakta, for his professionalism and... More

The motel is pretty much what you'd expect for a "budget motel"--everything was just about average, from cleanliness to condition. Staff was nice. But, I think the price at $79.99 is a bit high for an older property that could use some updating and a bit more vigorous cleaning.

To be fair, I thought I should probably note that the manager has since spoken with me and addressed the concerns I raised in my first review. He said he was out of town during my stay, and that my experience was not the norm for the hotel.

The motel is an older motel that is very clean and well maintained. He beds are queens. The mattresses are firm. There are four small hard pillows on each bed. There is a microwave and a good sized refrigerator in each room. We stayed for a family reunion, four rooms. The maid was very friendly and did an excellent job.... More

We've stayed here three times in the last year, visiting our student at KU. The owners are so nice, the breakfast is a nice touch and the rooms are very comfortable. We've always had a good experience with the owners and staff. Easy to get to KU and Mass Avenue! We learned during our last stay that they are making... More

There were chunks of food on the carpet in my room (before I got there), and also some wadded up discarded red underpants between the desk and the wall. * I did not received my wake-up call, but, get this, they called my room at 10:59 wondering why I hadn't checked out yet. Checkout is at 11. Such grace. Such... More

This is a value hotel and the location is fine, close to the univeristy and other attractions - but have to drive there. The room was pretty clean, but slightly out of date. It was as expected in this price range - but I will try to find somehting a little nicer next time. The pool looked nice (smaller but... More

We stayed one night here and enjoyed it. The beds were comfy, good location, cute pool. Breakfast was good--although seating could be hard to find. The man working at the front desk was very helpful and informative.

I stayed here for one night and thought it was just a typical budget motel. The breakfast was better than most budget motels but the room was just okay -- clean which is expected but needs to be severly updated. Not sure why motels still use the old bedspreads... The shower barely had enough pressure to rinse me off. For... More

I picked this motel based solely on TripAdvisor reviews and was very pleased with the accomodations! My family stayed July 2nd-7th and were impressed with the excellent customer service, clean rooms with microwave and fridge, and very nice outdoor pool just doors down from our room. There were beautiful flowers around the property and the owners and staff were friendly... More
