It was near the university and the price was fair.
I didn’t expect it to be super nice considering the price, but I did expect it to be a little nicer than it was. Seemed a little run down in spots. Noise outside from traffic and people passing by was loud, door/walls didn’t do a good job of muffling that. The point was for me to have a good night sleep instead of sleeping in my car, which I didn’t get. Should’ve slept in the car and saved the money.
It was great loved it will tell people to go there and stay
They were really polite and nice and caring had a good time
Don't trust the pictures listed for this property. The true look of this property is nothing like the pictures. They cleverly hide that fact that this is a MOTEL, for Hotel prices. The exterior images are cropped to hide any evidence that it is a motel, and the room pictures are not even remotely what you end up in. The posted pictures are modern, nicely furnished rooms like you would see at a hilton type chain. However, the rooms are actually painted brick walls, old furniture, and a feel of a motel 6 at best. "Breakfast" was a box of cereal, and some old premade waffles from who knows when. During my check-in, another customer was complaining to the staff of people doing drugs in the parking lot outside their room the previous night. All this, at around $15 less than a holiday inn express, or embassy. Do yourself a favor, and pass on this one.
Cheap and well located though certain rooms can have issues. However, the room was just for sleeping so it wasn't a big deal in the end. Don't have high expectations and it will all be good.
We knew parents weekend was a busy one so with limited choices of hotels available, we booked the Econo Lodge. Great location and reasonably comfortable bed, but it truly was not clean. There were hair balls in corners and dust all around. To me cleanliness is of the utmost and not that difficult to improve upon. Additionally, when I went to the front desk with the outside chance they had a toothbrush for those who forgot, I was reminded of where I was staying. In a pinch, maybe, but I'll avoid it in the future.
The room was clean & comfortable for the price. The location was great for a JMU event. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. Non smoking rooms were in a separate building which was nice.
My husband and I arrived around midnight, and there was someone to help us. Our room was larger than we expected and was very clean and modern. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
Our experience was not good, motel overpriced, room not clean- sheets had stains and a small hole, so did bath mat. The heating and cooling unit was very noisy at night. The shower rarely heated beyond lukewarm. the maids never gave us fresh towels the second night. Coffee at breakfast was weak and tasteless. It was overall a poor experience
Check in was fine, went to room and opened the door to be SMACKED in the face with discusting,reaking, cigarette odor. Requested NO Smoking, and called ahead to make sure this would be the case upon arrival. Went to speak to the manager and was told by him there was no way to change the room. Being Family Weekend at JMU, the whole town was filled up. Was a horrible weekend in smoke filled room. I would NEVER stay here again. My friend stayed there the weekend before with the same results. Wish I had talked to her before I went. ALSO, not enough parking for the motel guests staying there!
Great location and good price for a few nights at JMU homecoming, since all the other hotels charged $200 a night. However, room beds were caved in, wallpaper falling off the walls, and towels look like they haven't been changed in years. We went to walmart for our own towels. You get what you pay for
Econo Lodge Harrisonburg, VA was worse than the hotel I stayed in during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Baghdad in 2008. Beds were terrible, bugs were large and the noise level was deafening. Never again!!
The hotel was nice for the reasonable price. It was very clean and simple. Everything was provided for a quick stay.
spacious bathroom. Close to shopping and restaurants. Very clean and well maintained. will stay here again.
The room smelled like someone had been chain smoking in it for five years straight. Even turning the fan on didn't help the stench. I had to go out and buy febreeze because being in the room made me smell too!
Room was clean and comfortable. Sofa bed was not so great for sleeping- limited bedding included.
Check-in was difficult because we had to wait about a half hour though we were third on the line at 4:00 P.M. The person before us was part of a reunion group whose members had not all arrived and they made everyone else wait. The person was paying by cash and would not pay for the other members of his party. The same reunion group with of men, women, children of all ages were up most of the night and noisy until about two in the morning. About Midnight someone knocked loudly on our door, which we refused to open --only to learn through the door that he was mistaken and looking for someone else. The location was very good for us as it was very close to Spotswood Country Club for the wedding we were attending. The air conditioning was fine as there was a heat wave. We were unable to eat any breakfast there as we wanted to leave early on Sunday morning because of the heat wave. Got to the breakfast station just to get a cup of coffee and they would not let us (or any of the other 6 guests who were waiting) have any coffee. We waited from 6:20 to 6:30 and the attendant said they were not ready, so we went elsewhere. It would have been nice to just have a cup of coffee befoe going on the road. We could not make the one in the room because we need milk in the coffee to drink it.
The hotel and room seemed a little rundown and not worth the money I paid. Bathroom was small and cramped. Overall, I was just a little disappointed.
