The Spotlight on Econo Lodge

Budget-Friendly Comfort Near Allentown's Concert Scene

Modern essentials meet wallet-friendly pricing at the Econo Lodge in Allentown. Located just a short drive from downtown and only 2 miles from Lehigh Valley International Airport, this no-frills hotel offers convenience and comfort with free Wi-Fi, in-room microwaves and refrigerators, and a seasonal outdoor pool. It’s a great choice for travelers who want simple, reliable accommodations close to the music action without splurging.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show nearby, Econo Lodge makes a smart base. You're less than 10 miles from popular venues and nightlife, and getting back post-show is quick and easy. The hotel’s quiet location means you can actually get some rest after the encore. With a 24-hour front desk, you won’t have to worry about late arrivals, and a quick breakfast the next morning helps fuel your recovery.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a concert
- Solo travelers chasing their favorite artists
- Couples making a fun weekend of it
- Fans wanting a peaceful night’s sleep post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize value

Food and Drink Options

You’ll find a daily breakfast served on-site, which is great after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the in-room microwave and fridge make quick snacks easy. Plus, you're just a short drive or rideshare away from plenty of local diners and fast eats open late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, its proximity to downtown Allentown means you're close to bars, lounges, and music venues. It's easy to head out for a drink or two before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests consistently highlight the affordable pricing, convenient location, and friendly staff. Reviews often mention that it’s a solid pick for short stays and those looking for basic comforts without unnecessary extras.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is on the simpler side—don’t expect luxury amenities or designer decor. Some guests mention that the property could use a bit of updating, and the seasonal pool isn’t open year-round. But for the price, most say it’s a good deal.

The Bottom Line

Econo Lodge is a smart, budget-friendly choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to crash after the show without breaking the bank.

You get what you pay...

Liked: The price and location
Disliked: The rooms had damage that was not fixed correctly. Smoke detectors were covered in plastic, one had wires showing as it was pulled away from the wall. A hole in the wall filled with a paper towel. The chain lock on door was broken and screwed back on with just one screw and it was the wrong size too! Only one outlet in whole room and not even near the beds for charging devices etc. Cigarette burns in sheets and curtains.
