Econo Lodge | Hotel in Albert Lea

The wifi did not work the entire time. Dated and in poor condition. No badge entry on exterior doors so anyone can walk in. Entryway had a pervasive odor. Stayed two nights and did not have hot water one morning. No visible bed bugs and the sheets seemed clean.

Exterior of hotel was in very poor condition. No security on exterior doors with locks removed or taped over. Interior appeared very clean but dated. Staff was very friendly and welcoming!

It’s an older building but it was clean. Hallway and outside area was well lit. Desk clerk was efficient and helpful. The free breakfast was good and gave us a good start to the day as we continued with our travels. Breakfast area was well stocked and clean.

This property was very run down and outdated. Nothing like the pictures. It had a 8.2 rating but was definitely a 3.0.

So our first stay last weekend was wonderful. The from staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was good for a place to sleep for one night. The second time we stayed was this recent weekend and the room was not in the best condition. The sheets had stains on them, there were no comforters on the beds, the bathroom wasn’t fully stocked and some other issues. Called down to the front desk and they offered a new room which I checked out and one of the beds had ash and hair and stones? on it so went back down and unfortunately they didn’t have anymore rooms available. They offered sincere apologies and sent a refund. It sounded like they were having some issues with the housekeeping staff, which I do feel for the front desk. It can be hard to keep good staff. Overall, Candice was a gem and very welcoming and sweet.

Econo shares lobby with another hotel, confusing to check in. Stand up fan in the lobby. Bathroom toilet seat was loose and came off, remote was broken, tv wouldn’t come on. Bed and pillows not comfortable. Breakfast was no where near continental. The plus side was that there were no visible bugs!

This is a frequent stop for us. We like the Econo Lodge very much. Any issues we have had are quickly resolved. We like the staff and we loved the attached restaurant. it is amazing We don't need a fancy place and this fits the bill

There was a brief heavy rainstorm and the parking lot was so flooded we could not get out to our car. A bare-footed employee, coming in from outside, warned us about the water.

Room was smelly and floors were sticky. Towels were practically non-existent because they were so small and thin.

It looks nothing like the pictures. The rooms smelled terrible. When you turn on the water in the bathroom sink it throws water all over the counter. Stains on the walls and ceiling.
