Econo Lodge Las Vegas Motel

I have mostely likes about this hotel:

I was a little leary of the area. There are strip clubs and adult "bookstores" nearby but you are in Vegas, not Disneyland. I felt safe and treated with kind people from the moment that we pulled into the parking lot. It is located just North of the Stratusphere, but South of the "Downtown strip" area. There is a Denny's right up the road if you want familiar food. Otherwise there are some local Mexican Restaurants nearby as well. The Hotel was clean and had friendly staff. The room was a smoking room but did not smell of smoke the whole 3 days we were there. The bed was very firm so my husband liked it, good for the back! The bathroom had a full size tub so that when you took a shower, you had room to turn around. Large TV with remote that worked great. Not too noisy at night. In fact, we were there on the weekend of some motorcycle rally and even then, I got a good night's rest. Their breakfast items that were free was assorted muffins or bagels, coffee or juice. Not bad considering we paid only $78 for 2 nights and that is considerably less than just one night up the road.

The only dislikes that I had were that there weren't any alarm clocks in the room. It is ok if you use your cell phone for the time and to wake you up in the morning. The airconditioner was cold but loud. It had a sort of "grinding" noise, but as I stated before, I still slept well. There was 2 problems in the bathroom: 1) was a line of mold about the length of a crayon behind the bathroom door. It wasn't near the tub so I was ok with that. and 2) whomever glued the sink to the base in the bathroom didn't do a very good job cleaning up the drips because as you sat on the toilet, the view you had was dried glue that looked like someone blew their nose in their hands and wiped it under the sink. I was even fine with that if I looked the other way.

All and all, I would absolutely stay here again and am recommending this hotel for a great value in Vegas.

Thank you Econo Lodge for making our weekend getaway a wonderful experience!

I just returned from Vegas and stayed at several hotels. I have stayed here 4 times in 2 years. It is a typical chain. The rooms were clean, no frills. Local calls are free and so are 800 calls. All the expensive Vegas hotels charge for calls so this was nice. The pool is tiny but I wasn't at the hotel much. The breakfast is nice- muffins, bagels, jelly and coffee and juice. They have a free computer in the office you can use and they will print your boarding passes for you. Very friendly staff. I got to check in a little early. This is an ok place to stay if you just need a place to sleep. Even though the area is a bit run down I always felt safe. you need a car to stay here, but there is a bus that goes down the strip.

For around fifty dollars, I reckon that one could make a poorer choice in lodging. It is conveniently located in the middle of the seediest spot on the Las Vegas Boulevard.

My trips to the convenience store around the corner introduced me to the locals, even some of the seedier ones were very friendly, never failing to tell me "Good morning" or "Good afternoon."

The employees were very nice, and seemed interested in my complaint that I had to go all of the way to the lobby in order to get internet access.

I had an early arrival and I had to wait two hours before they would let me check in. The rooms are comfortable if you do not need much. I was excited about the free breakfast, but they ran out before I got there, so my advice is to wake up early.

The location is good for anyone in Las Vegas who don't want to pay for the price of staying in a casino hotel. It is very close to the Strip, within walking distance. Our room was quiet. It's a small hotel, and the rooms were clean and neat. The prices were modest.
