Not the Ritz, but "Excellent" for an Econo(mic) Lodge. VERY nice front desk staff, VERY clean rooms and premises. For ~$100 on a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) we got a king bed, extra pillows, small fridge + MW, and breakfast! Best of all, they will take a 1 night reservation (even over a holiday weekend) when none of the others... More

One should not expect much from a budget motel, but this one delivered on cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. Pet friendly, and for that we recommend it to those of you traveling with pets. A good accessible location right off of I81.

Clean room. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was the usual continental breakfast but was very good and well stocked. Minutes from the Mohegan Sun Arena and several restaurants. I got 10% off my bill at Ruby Tuesday by showing my keycard (Manager told me about that.)

We enjoyed our visit last time so we tried it again! One year later and it was still a very pleasant place to stay. We used our points and got a free room and didn't know what they would give us but they gave us a very nice room in a super quick part of the hotel on the 3rd... More

After all these years, I still cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I won't repeat here, but I will add some comments. It is STILL the same people serving up the same quality work in all aspects with even more improvements. There's a lot to be said when there is no employee turnover from housekeeping to management.

I stayed at the Econo Lodge Arena twice within one month. Both times were really pleasant. In comparison to other hotels in the same area, it is cheaper and offers accomodations that are as clean and pleasant as others. The registration was easy. The members of staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfasts were quite good considering they were included... More

We stayed here while going to a family funeral, and the folks were all very nice here, as well as being very efficient, and quick. The room was very nice, clean, and no overly cloying smell like some other properties. The housekeeping staff was courteous, and did a great job,with a few exceptions. Breakfast was very nice, and kept stocked... More

Don't really have a lot to add as others have done a great job of describing this property. I will just say it's the best Econo Lodge I've stayed at and I enjoyed the way the property seems to really be involved with the area activities and attractions.

Normally we don't book Econo Lodge based on some negative past experiences with this particular chain of motels. But this particular Econo Lodge had several positive TripAdvisor reviews, the room rate was good, and it was in an area that fit our trip agenda. We arrived late in the evening and were happy to find the rooms were clean, comfortable,... More
