Nice place but the service wasn’t that great. Came early and was hoping for an early check in but the guy that was there wasn’t that friendly at all and was a bit rude sometimes.

The room was clean and spacious. The staffs were very friendly. Price was very affordable. Breakfast is included, they offered muffins and cereal (bulk), coffee and tea, bread and peeled boiled eggs. If you have allergies, bring your own food. Depending on the room you chose, some has stove, cutlery, dishes and soap at your disposal. Side note: we also booked for the other Econolodge situated behind this one. The Econolodge motel is to be avoided.

Location is perfect just near to lRT station overall it was good but i use trip.com to book from my debit card and they confirm my booking but while i went there for check in the guy there told me i have to use my credit card for the deposit which I don’t have but i told i will pay cash for deposit and they can check room while we check out unfortunately he refused and said company policy only accept credit card which I don’t have and than i have to call my friend and use his credit card and signed authorisation from mail and sent other proof which took almost more than hour. Incase if I don’t have my friend with credit card they would have refuse me to check in and I would be sleeping on the street. The thing I don’t understand is why did they accept my booking while i use my debit card and why can’t they accept cash as deposit because not every traveler has credit card. It was very disappointing

Location close to University was great. Was quiet for the times we were in room. Room was good size. Bed was very comfortable - had excellent sleep. Bathroom was basic, had everything we needed and worked well. We were welcomed by the staff and they followed up with phone call to room after we had settled to make sure everything was as expected. Breakfast was simple but worked for us.
