Nothing fancy, but was convenient for an overnight stay. Great price and room was clean and had no odor. Check in was quick. Staff was friendly and greated us with a smile. Continental breakfast with the usual bagels, toast, yogurt, juice and coffee
The price is extremely cheap for what you get. The cleanliness, pool, hospitality that you receive is unmatched. Plus they allow pets! I am very satisfied for what I paid and the room I received v
Stopped overnight about 1am in Cave City looking for a certain hotel and saw the Econo Lodge all lit up. It looked clean and inviting so I stopped there. The room was nice. The beds were very comfy, the sheets smelled so clean and fresh. I love it the pillows had the special protective zippered cover along with the pillowcase. I usually never go anywhere without my own pillow but I didn’t have it this time. The pillows were just perfect! I had to buy one. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would stay there again.
We haul freight & stay at a hotel every night or. This is by far the nicest Econo Lodge we have ever stayed in. Had a smoking room that smelled great,had scented plug inside, great pillows, spacious room, comfortable bed, plenty of parking, beautiful pool & sitting area. Didn't eat breakfast but the coffee is great! Highly recommend. Will be back when I. The area.
This hotel was easy to access, they were very fast to check us in and out and the rooms smelled and looked awesome! The outside of the building is vintage and cool! There are really pretty fountains and a nice pool! We felt very safe staying here! We pulled off the highway with the back of our vehicle packed full of our belongings and they happily made sure we had parking close to our room as well as they have cameras on the property. The beds were cozy the and a/c worked awesome, the entire staff was amazing, fun and kind! Thank you all so much for making a spur of the moment stay really great! Thank you so much! You’re so appreciated! P.s. We had a late check out at 12 pm and I have to say not a single person bothered us not even 1 time! We left our room at 11:45 I have asked for later check out times in the past at other places and I have always been woke up by staff or calls to the room from front desk, This place did not even touch our door! This was so greatly appreciated
stayed for one night to rest before our last 7 hour drive today. the staff is very nice & the price was amazing! the free breakfast was great. it was quiet, even with the pool outside our room. clean and beautiful views! no complaints. thank you for such an accommodative stay!
Rooms clean. Staff are great, very helpful, friendly and accommodating. Pool is nice, kept clean. Would be nice if opened till 9pm but 8pm isnt bad. Pool towels at pool would be more convenient than getting from front desk and returning to lobby. But maybe it keeps theft down so cant blame them. Continential breakfast of cereals, breads, bagels, pastries, coffee, juices, milk. Breads/Bagels were fresh. Location very convenient to everything in area. For the economy mind trip or vacation; cant beat the price. And its clean!
The owner of this motel is awesome. All the employees were awesome. Pam the housekeeper is amazing. I would give them all 5 stars. Rooms were clean everybody was friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this motel to anyone needing a place to stay. Reasonable price.
