Econo Lodge - Hotel in Lebanon - 1245 IN-32, USA

The location is great right off the interstate. That is the only thing going for this place. But the rooms are GROSS !! I had fleas jumping on me it was so nasty. The sofa looked like it's seen some things. The room smelled like they ran in there and burned some incense right before I walked in. Save your money.

So the rooms are somewhat renovated, but still original bathrooms. Beds were comfy at least. Check in staff is nice and all but plan for at least 10 minutes to check in. And that's if you are the only person.

Very much depends on what you need/your standards. |It was safe, inexpensive compared to others in the area and the had a last minute opening-so it served our purposes, but definitely not a place I’d likely stay more than one short night. The pictures are not from this location. ||Pro: price, they had a room when others were booked as this was a last minute stop during a road trip. Felt safe and several food choices nearby. Mini “donettes” at the breakfast, which I adore…||Con: not very clean (a clearly unwashed pillow case and overall results of long term limited housekeeping…and I am not a neat freak), very humid in the room until we turned on the AC as I’m guessing no air is kept on between guests (which I get as a cost saver) but leading to what appeared like mold on baseboards of bathroom. Bathroom door would not close and successful toilet flushing with multiple attempts was intermittent. My love for donettes aside, breakfast was a pretty limited assortment of all carbs except one lonely banana (no yogurt, hard boiled eggs or other basic fruit, etc. you typically see) and we were there early so I doubt others took it all already. ||Definitely depends on your needs…we were on the second floor (no elevators, which was fine with us, just fyi) so perhaps the first floor is more used/better cared for.

Upon arrival late at night in a rain storm we were pleasantly surprised to have a well lit overhang at entrance. Exterior was nice and well lit. Ashley was very welcoming. Tips: make sure switches at front door are on to charge devices in some outlets; make sure all lights are working. Overall our expectations were met. My opinion: at the end of the day, this is a budget type hotel that is trying to revamp itself to provide better service to guests. Sorry, not time for photos. Here are the pros and cons:|Pros:|- Friendly front counter staff (Ashley)|- Recently renovated rooms along with windows and drapes|- Recently renovated exterior|- Computer for customer use near front desk.|- Breakfast available, but very minimal (cereal, milk, OJ, coffee, muffins, etc.)|- Good location for food and gas nearby|- Very quiet, except for engine noise from trucks (no biggie, I grew up in Chicago)|- Safety was not a concern for us...we felt safe. |- Fridge and microwave in room (unusual for budget hotel).|Cons:|- Old used bed with very worn and flat pillows (bring your own pillows)|- Confusing array of light switches|- Bathroom light did not work|- Doors were old and deadbolt did not engage|- Open boxes of flooring cluttered parts of the hallway|Suggestion to hotel management: replace the pillows, mattress, and doors ASAP.

This hotel is disgusting! The beds were made but the floors weren't even swept. The air conditioner in our room doesn't work and it was even turned on to the heat setting and turned down low so the heat didn't kick in. The only reason this would be done on a 75 degree day is to hide the fact that the A/C doesn't work. You can't even open the windows because there are stops bolted in place to prevent it. This place has absolutely zero redeeming qualities.

This was the only hotel under $200 when we wanted to reach eclipse totality last month. We braced ourselves for the worst, after reading the reviews after purchasing. When we arrived and saw no hotel sign up and plastic covering the windows on one half of the hotel, I thought our fears had been confirmed. Nothing special, however, I've stayed in worse and there was even a breakfast and "moon pies" out in Eclipse day. I think they're just under renovations. You can hear hallway noise easily in the room. But I always wear earplugs. Not worth $200, for sure, but we knew what we were getting into, traveling for the eclipse.

Mold on shower curtain, bathroom fan screeched loudly, white phone cord and white hair dryer and cord needs cleaning. No safety handles in tub.

Has semi parking. Also rooms have tile floors not carpet. Staff is nice but hard to understand (non English)
