The room smelled really strongly of cleaning chemicals. While we appreciate a clean room, it was almost unbearable to breathe because of the strong chemical smell. We dealt with it because it was only one night but it was not ideal. We are sensitive to strong smells so we had trouble sleeping because of this.

Room was freshly remodeled. Very clean. Staff was friendly and check-in was quick and easy. Super pleased for a budget hotel. Will use for work again. Expedia site isn’t accurate about some things - there is 24 hour reception so you can check in anytime, not just until 11. The do also have a small breakfast buffet included in room rate starting at 7am. I don’t know what all it has because I had to leave before then. Not at all disappointed in the value received for the price.

We did an overnight at the Econo Lodge in Sanduskey on a two day cross country trip. There was a friendly and efficient person at the desk to greet us for an evening check in. Our room was newly redone and clean. Even though the motel is in a busier area, we had a very quiet stay. The floors are vinyl plank so you may want to pack cozy socks. The continental breakfast is pretty sparse as of this writing so have a plan B in place for breakfast. There are walkable places to eat. We had a good experience and would stay again.

Heater smells awful and breakfast consists of waffles (child size portions of cereal and oatmeal are your only other options). Currently in the 40’s in Sandusky. Tried to turn heater on and was met with abhorrent scent of burnt smoke and burning sewage (not even exaggerating, it literally smelled like a heated up public restroom). Had to settle for room temperature which was 62 degrees. The provided television runs on a cable system from the late ‘90s. No lotion, body wash, or conditioner provided. Customer service was mediocre. Considering everything else is middle of the road this is a 1.5-2 out of five with no room for a higher rating.
