Econo Lodge Mechanicsburg Motel - Page 1

We stayed here on the last night of our honeymoon road trip from Roanoke, VA to southern Maine and back. We found this hotel after stopping at a few others and deciding that they were too expensive. This hotel charged us $81 for a small room with a double bed with a mattress that was limp and hanging off the edges of the bed frame. There was a very small mini-fridge and a decent-sized TV and the amenities were pretty basic. The bathroom was alright. We were the only people staying on one entire side of the hotel (the backside, which backed up to what seemed like an industrial park of some sort), so that was kind of creepy. The "breakfast" was kind of a joke with the selection of either a bagel or toast. The price was outrageous for what they offered. I think next time, I would either do my homework a bit more before traveling or spend a few extra bucks on something better.

The hotel was a bit run-down. I asked for non-smoking room but the room I received had previously been a smoking room. It was expensive for what they offered.

They offered a great price and a good location. I requested a non-smoking room, but when we arrived the room smelled quite heavily of cigarettes. Using the air conditioner helped remove the odor.

The beds were broken, as were the lamps. The towels were threadbare. The TV remote was broken.
