It was cheap and sheets were clean! Carpet wasn’t the cleanest so keep shoes on ! They had ally of moisture or water cuz they had humidifier’s running in hallways and those bags hanging in rooms to remove moisture! We rented 2 rooms and both were like that! Overall it wasn’t bad! They offer a small breakfast too!

Would stay here again! The staff was nice, and our room seemed well cleaned. Just a few downsides were our room had a very dusty smell when we first walked in, the window didn’t have a nob to open it, and there weren’t many channels on the Tv. But nothing beats the great price!

Excellent Value

I stayed at the Econo Lodge in late March 2025 for business. I checked in very late, but the front desk person had my check-in paper printed and ready. My room was clean and comfortable. The coffee and breakfast in this hotel is ready by 5:30. Probably the best value hotel in Watertown.
