“Great Price but a Lack of Security!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

The Econo Lodge actually in Blasdel, New York just south of Lackawanna is in a great location. It is on Milestrip Road just off the New York State Thruway and located quite close to the large and sprawling Quaker Malls!! You have a great selection of restaurants in the immediate area which is quite nice.

I guess I am used to a newer type of hotel / motel, as this is what I remember Motels to be like back in the sixties and seventies!!

The rooms are very small yet some how efficient and clean. The bathroom was very small but functioned well. The room ac was a bit loud and the room curtain did not close completely. The ice machine on the ground floor was working well, so all-in-all everything at this motel was functioning, except that bloody curtain.

The most negative was the lack of security...I simply did not feel safe in the room or the parking lot. Nothing happened but it was the 'sense' of an insecure nature about the entire property. It did not help to see a police car at the reception desk upon checking in...I said to myself "oh boy what am I doing"? False alarm as the police officer was simply booking a future room for a relative.

The "European Breakfast" was nice if you enjoy sweet donuts, the hot water for the tea was hot!! The best part of this stay was the price!! Very, very reasonable, again it reminded me of the prices used back in the sixties and seventies!!

Room Tip: I think the second floor rooms are better as on the ground floor you have the car headlights floodin...

“Good for a cross-border stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

Room was clean and comfy with a king bed. Nothing fancy, just a table and tv in the room. The internet worked flawlessly. Lots of parking spaces available even though we checked in @ 11pm. Not much of a breakfast though...

“handy place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 27, 2012

Have stayed here a couple times a year for several years now and while nothing fancy, it's a good, convenient place to stay. Quality of rooms is about what you would expect for the price, but location to shopping, etc. is very good and desk staff is ALWAYS quick and friendly. Rooms not always as clean as they could be, but have not found any major issues. A couple of times there have been people partying in neighboring rooms and parking lot but we called the desk and problem was taken care of promptly. Nice restaurant right next door and several more for every taste in very short driving distance. Ground floor rooms are very spacious.

Room Tip: decent place for the price

“Good for a night stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012

We stayed here for a night during our trip to Niagara. Room was small but clean. Bed was ok for a night sleep, not the best comfort you can get. Its 30 min drive to Niagara from the hotel, nearer to Buffalo downtown and is right off I90. There is a restuarant just next to the hotel so you don't have to drive anyfurther for food.
