Econo Lodge Coliseum

The staff were good, and at least the beds were clean. The room carpet was dirty and smelled like baby powder, and the desk chair was so filthy I wouldn’t sit in it. We only needed a bed and shower for the night, and it did serve that purpose. The place seriously needs updating.

We paid too much to have these problems. The first room wasn’t acceptable because the toilet seat looked “dirty.” In the second room, the toilet was broken and sounded like it flushed every 20 seconds all night. The heat didn’t work either. I could have stayed at one of the newer, more modern motels nearby for that price. I won’t make this mistake twice.

The beds and shower really stood out, and the room was large, with a working fridge, microwave, and nice big TV. Staff were helpful and the motel felt comfortable and friendly, with excellent value in an ideal location. We’ll definitely return. The breakfast was very limited, though the boiled eggs were quite good and the coffee was excellent. The rough-looking driveway and dead restaurant next door were also negatives, but far from deal-breakers.

You get what you pay for at $59.99. The place is old but clean, and the rooms are decent. Bring your own pillow, because I don’t know what these are stuffed with, but they barely give at all. The showers drain poorly, though the water pressure and temperature are amazing. We’ll probably stay again.
