I left my medication in the refrigerator in our room. We remembered 4 hours after leaving. The manager kept it for me in the refrigerator and was very helpful in getting it back. We so appreciated his concern and kindness.

Would stay here again! The staff was nice, and our room seemed well cleaned. Just a few downsides were our room had a very dusty smell when we first walked in, the window didn’t have a nob to open it, and there weren’t many channels on the Tv. But nothing beats the great price!

Very impressed

I stayed here many years ago and the place was run down dirty and not very friendly staff time. And now I was very impressed with the staff. They are very polite. Acknowledge you when you walk by and the room was excellent. Great improvement and great place in a better place than last time.

Excellent Value

I stayed at the Econo Lodge in late March 2025 for business. I checked in very late, but the front desk person had my check-in paper printed and ready. My room was clean and comfortable. The coffee and breakfast in this hotel is ready by 5:30. Probably the best value hotel in Watertown.
