“Totally unexpected, a delightful stay, clean and comfortable”

Honestly I made this reservation by mistake. I needed to stay downtown for a job, and usually I can get a decent hotel for under $100 right downtown or over the bridge no problem.

Honestly I made this reservation by mistake. I needed to stay downtown for a job, and usually I can get a decent hotel for under $100 right downtown or over the bridge no problem. Today all the prices were double - I thought I was booking the downtown Econolodge but I mistakenly booked this one. The reviews made me worry!! But when I got here, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the building is old. But, the man who checked me in was very nice and it was a very easy process. I could tell he knew what he was doing. And the lobby, while sparse and kinda clinical, was clean. The hallways were also very clean and smelled good. When I got to the room I was a little bit shocked. It’s totally acceptable! Actually, it’s a pretty nice room! The furniture is modern, it has a fridge and microwave both look new. The tile is old school but it’s kind of charming. The ac heat unit has got to be 86 years old but it works and it’s kind of charming too. Best part - the couch in the room is hella comfortable, there’s lots of pillows, iron, blow dryer, plenty of fluffy towels. Desk has power outlets and usb built in, as well as the night stands on both sides, AS WELL AS every lamp. I honestly have no idea why this place has a 31% thumbs up on Google and a 2.5 rating here. Yes - it’s old. Yes the paint color in the bathroom is questionable. Yes the bathroom door looks like someone punched it once and they did a so-so patch job. So what? It’s an inexpensive motel and that kind of thing should be expected… I saw no bugs. The place smelled nice. And the staff was not only nice but also seemed very competent. I felt I had to write a review - if they were bad before, I’m here to tell ya they are trying and it shows. For an Econolodge, this place is an A+ with honors. If you are reading this and you want a motel in the area, I’d say give it a try because I felt very welcome and safe. Haven’t had breakfast yet but we will see! So far so good.

“Cheap yet cheerful experience”

Don't give up on this place. I needed to book a place for a weekend when the Louisville music festival was happening and every hotel and motel was charging - at least - twice the price.

Don't give up on this place. I needed to book a place for a weekend when the Louisville music festival was happening and every hotel and motel was charging - at least - twice the price. At $88/night on Agoda, this Econo Lodge was 50% below the lowest of the other options. The reviews on Trip were scathing so I drove to check it out. The guy on the front desk, Viraj, went out of his way to show me a room and was more professional than some front desk people I've encountered at 5-star hotels. Viraj is genuine, down-to-earth and clearly hard working. The room was clean, large enough, the bathroom had fresh towels and the shower worked perfectly, with hot and cold water. The only negatives are the renovations being carried out on the pool and breakfast room are being renovated. On value for money and Viraj's professionalism, this place was a bargain compared to the others and deserves 5 stars. I took a star off for the renovations.
