Econo Lodge Mansfield Hotel - Page 1

I'd read bad reviews on this motel but being a traveler that doesn't expect much but a comfortable bed I wasn't too worried. 1st off...the motel was hard to find. I had lost the # and called 411 3xs to be told there was no such listing. I finally found the # and called to confirm my arrival. Upon getting there, I was given keys to the room. After a long drive we were hoping for a restaurant nearby and getting back to the room. This motel is in the middle of no where! There is a boarded up maybe old restaurant to side of it. The pool that I had read about in one review was now a garden. We went out, found a place to eat, came back and found out they had given us the wrong room. We got our new room, went in , went to relax in front of the t.v. and it didnt work. Told the desk clerk who was very helpful but said there was no one to exchange the t.v. for us, that we would have to switch rooms again. I wasn't too happy and she said she would bring hers from the office, which she did. I had her leave the non-working one in the room bolted down as there was nothing to remove it with. There was a small frig in the room, opened it to put a few things in and there was rotten frozen meat in the small freezer part ontop, gross! The bathroom was dirty, the walls had a few things hanging on it and we were afraid to use the blankets. I told the owner as we were leaving about the meat in the refrig. and vowed we would never return thank you.

It was a very nice motel. Everything was excellent.

The room was nothing luxurious by any means. However, the room was clean, there was free wireless internet access, a free continental breakfast (but nothing big!) and great water pressure in the shower and sink. The one downside is the location. There is absolutely nothing to do around this hotel.

I liked the clean and quiet room, as well as the nice happy hour snacks. I disliked the small and lumpy bed.
