First stay with EconoLodge.

Building is older and has had some wear and tear. I noted an air cleaner in the bathroom ceiling that is WAY past due for replacement or cleaning. Linens were all newer and clean. Room had a balcony which was a nice extra. Motel is close to the nicely developed downtown area. Easy walking distance for most folks.

Property is an older building and within walking distance of the Southbridge Mall and Hockey arena. Although the mall doesn't have much in it anymore. Parking lot was well lit at night and staff was helpful. Room was clean and ready for arrival, but it had a bit of a stale musty smell. Refrigerator and microwave in room worked fine. For the lower cost and just needing a place to crash at night it worked fine. If you want a place with more frills and amenities this would not fit that expectation.
