Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

Location to I40

Politeness of staff

Small and old TV - I was told that "several" rooms had new, flat-screen, larger TVs, but there was no record (in the computer) of which rooms had them. I was told the suites had the new TVs, but when I decided to upgrade to a suite I learned that "all suites are smoking" so they could be used by anyone - I had one teenager with asthma so we could not do that - we had to go to a Sports Bar to enjoy the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Our room was clean, but the areas between our room and the front desk were very trashy. We could not figure out how to get a cable channel on the TV and decided maybe the motel didn't have cable, although the next morning we were told that it does. The telephone in our room was not working - which we needed only to call the front desk (to ask about the cable channel). The faucet in the sink had some kind of different handle that made the water GUSH out when it was turned on (until we learned to barely raise it). I have enjoyed my stays in several GuestHouse Inns, but this one was VERY disappointing - especially since it was a road trip for my three teenage grandchildren and we could not enjoy the stay there (no time even for swimming after we had to go to the Sports Bar for the evening).
