Econo Lodge North

last minute choice only

Plusy: location was convenient for where I was room was available during a snow storm for <$100

Minusy: No smoking sign on the door, but the room smelled like an ashtray - I mentioned it to the front desk when I checked out & they tried to blame it on the room next door but I told her even the bathroom curtain smelled. When I got home and pulled out my sweats I slept in, they smelled like an ashtray. Sheets/blankets had cigarette burns in them. Found a cellophane wrapper from a cigarette pack on the floor. Furniture was severely stained; room needed a paint job; no electrical outlets near the desk. Limited water pressure in the shower and shower head not moveable to prevent the need to stand almost on top of the drain. Bathroom vent needs to be cleaned (thick layer of dust). Parking was not well cleared from snow - spaces across from the room in the back were, but no clear path to the room. No place to park when checking in - I had to block the rear entry & other guest was not happy with me.

Plusy: affordable

Minusy: breakfast was bagel and coffee. Shower was moldy.

Minusy: Room smelled bad. Commode ran all the time. Black mold in bathroom. Beds not comfortable.
