Econo Lodge Easton

The motel was nearly empty, we received a smoking room not a non smoking, the room was not clean, would not use this motel again.

Main purpose of the trip was for our daughter's graduation from Chesapeake College. We also planned to do some site seeing prior to the graduation. Picked that hotel because the continental breakfast was included. First day - toaster and waffle maker did not work. Second day toaster worked, but set to burn the toast, no shut off. Waffle maker worked but waffles stuck! Third day toaster working, but hard to shut off if you needed to. Waffles questionable.

Good location, ideally located for trips to Old Easton and St Michaels.

Some noise from passing sirens on emergency vehicles, and the refrigerator was a bit noisy too (but better a noisy refrigerator than no refrigerator!). Helpful manager stopped in to fix a suspected slight plumbing problem before I had a chance to report it. Comfortable beds and air conditioning. No problem sleeping after friends (staying within walking distance) and I were biking all day.

No entertainment was done while there. Yes,a larger television that could be watched while resting in bed. This trip was no comparison. I've never been on a trip this degrating.

The staff didn't even know where a good seafood restaurant was in Easton. They could only recommend a local diner. We found a restaurant by ourselves! The Room was entirely too small. I should have known we were in for trouble when they handed us our remote and it was numbered for the room

The room I had was large and very clean. Unfortunately, the room smelled. In fact after being in the room for less than 1 hour, I had a headache because of the smell. The motel is an older building that has been refurbished to some degree. The building itself was cleanly painted so it looked fine from the street. The carpet on the stairs and outdoor access covered walkways was frayed, dirty and in need of replacement. The paint on the doors and door frames (inside and out)was chiped and needed to be scraped, primed and re-painted. I would have been willing to overlook these conditions if the smell had not been so bad because the price was what I could afford. I was not sure whether the smell was mold/mildew or smoke. Whatever it was, it, permeated everything in the room. Although the room looked clean, I was unsure of whether to trust it since the smell was so bad so I slept on top of the bed wrapped in a blanket from my car rather than run the risk of mold/mildew in the bedding.

It's an Econolodge, so it was adequate for the one night I had to stay there but not exactly a destination hotel. Everything else was booked, but shop around; for that price you can get something better I'm sure.
