In overall it was ok...

Liked: Overall, the hotel met our expectations. The exterior and interior are a bit old — I would say somewhat outdated. Still, almost everything was functioning properly. The bathroom was just okay, kind of average, but usable.I wouldn’t say there was any noticeable dirt, bugs, or anything unpleasant like that. So, for a one-night stay, I’d say it’s a perfectly acceptable option.I especially want to highlight the breakfast — it was excellent for a hotel of this level. Later, we stayed at a more expensive hotel in the next city, and the breakfast there was much more limited and of lower quality compared to Echo Lodge. So kudos to them — I think the breakfast here was really good.
Disliked: Nothing specifically

I felt safe and comfortable....

Liked: The property was well maintained with sweet flower pots, and all the staff were helpful and pleasant. The pool was a bonus, and the close proximity to the Old Town Plaza. It was walking distance
Disliked: The bed was a little hard

For the price, I would...

Liked: The breakfast was very good. I always like the waffles & boiled eggs. There was no bacon but the sausage was okay. The only fruit available were bananas-no apples
Disliked: The motel is off Central which is a very busy street. It was not quiet at all. I didn’t like that they would not accept my AARP card because I booked through a third party.
