About Econo Lodge By Choice Hotels Brand Hotels

Before Super 8, there was Econo Lodge. Based in the United State and Canada, this economy motel chain brand is the second largest brand under the Choice Hotels group. Created to provide the finest accommodations under the budget-friendly category by Vernon Myers and his son Vernon Jr, Econo Travel now Econo Lodge materialized with funding and marketing help from Lloyd Tarbutton, a local businessman.

Interestingly, business started with Sandy Econo, the hotel’s “mascot” dressed in a Scottish skirt and tam walking around the neighborhood giving away brochures. However, the hotel chain was sold in 1983 for $836 million, all 306 hotels and adapted the name Econo Lodge instead of Econo Travel. The brand was sold and bought several times before Paul Wallace bought the brand and refurbished it and eventually sold it to Choice Hotels International in 1990.

Eventually, this hotel concept located in 865 Military Highway grew from one location to 800 hotels under the Econo Lodge brand today. Initially, there were 40 rooms in each property located near highways and roads. Expansion continues and by 2013, there were around 830 Econo Lodge hotels open and operating in the United States with 28 more under development. Every state in the U.S. and the Canadian province has an Econo Lodge in it.

Don't rush the room. Quality...

Cons: I'm a housekeeper myself and I noticed when we first entered the room that the towels weren't set up. There was stains on the hand towels by the sink. There was some weird stuff on the pillowcase, don't know if it was just a crease that shouldn't be there or actual stuff. The blanket was covered in burn holes. I got bit eight times in bed. There was no iron in the iron holder. Raise the price of the room a little bit more to afford better stuff but still be affordable for those who are budgeting their trips. The housekeepers should be cleaning the room as if they were the guest walking in. When I told the housekeeper the morning of checkout she shouldn't have rushed away. Stay and hear the guests to do better next time. Very bad service except for the foreign guy very nice over the phone and in person.

Not a bad place

Pros: The staff is fantastic and friendly. The place is a little run down. I can see light through the front door where it had been previously kicked in. The other guests were not so friendly and / or considerate to others. On site laundry was perfect for my stay although someone left their belongings in the machines. There is a fantastic pizzeria attached to the property. Every need is in walking distance. Although it was on a busy road with a lot of traffic noise. It was a very pleasant experience waiting for my apartment to open. I would recommend this place. Don't expect 5 stars when you aren't paying for it. I felt safe and taken care of.
Cons: The busy road

Pleasant
It was relaxing.

Pros: I missed the breakfast:(
Cons: There's a lot of people hanging around the back area at night working on vehicles or standing around. Same cars and people. Not guests.
