Econo Lodge Ruther Glen

Good

Liked: The bed worked great
Disliked: I had to make a lot of noise to get someone's attention to check in. I waited for five full minutes for someone to pick up the phone at the door. Apparently it's broken, so I made a lot of noise with the key drop lid at the key window until someone came running.

Superb

Bad

Good

Liked: The location was perfect. Very quiet and felt pretty safe as a solo traveler. There were a couple of restaurants and a gas station nearby, and it was only a 10ish minute drive to Kings Dominion.Check in was quick and easy. The staff was friendly and helpful.The beds were extremely comfortable, I had the best sleep in a hotel that I ever had. I had a fridge and microwave, which served me well for eating in. The water pressure in the shower was nice and the bathroom had a full tub, so I was able to soak my feet after a long day at the park.
Disliked: The water temperature was very inconsistent. Sometimes it was nice and hot, but a couple of times it would barely get lukewarm and I'd have to wait an hour or so to shower. The TV was old. I couldn't plug up my gaming system as the HDMI would only transfer the audio, no video. I tried every workaround on the Internet to fix it, but no dice. I think this was my biggest issue at the place.The room phone would go off at 5:30 in the morning and not stop until around 7-8, so I ended up having to unplug it.Lighting was a bit dim and the lamp by the door didn't work at all.There was a little bit of cosmetic damage to the room but nothing big enough to affect my stay. Bed cover had a cigarette burn hole and the bathroom vent looked like it was flex taped to the ceiling.

Very good

Liked: The room was clean...
Disliked: Bed was very firm... the platform base is noisy...but all and all it was a place to lay my head.
