Econo Lodge University

Had to take room on 2nd floor with outside steps and entry. They were updating lower floor rooms. No elevator. I am slightly handicapped, so I don't recommend for HC folks. Otherwise everything else was okay. Very small room though. ******* app said breakfast included, but there was no breakfast.

I was here out of state working. It stated it had breakfast at 6am. The photos are very deceiving. The breakfast was grab and go at the office. The office was not open some days at 6 or 7 am.

The staff were amazing and doing the best they could in the situation. But when I arrived for check in I was informed they didn’t have working room keys so each time I wanted to get in the room I had to get in touch with them to be let in. Was staying in town for NYE so was obviously going to be coming in late at night. Which I did inform the staff of when I checked in and they again did their absolute best to accommodate but it still wound up with me waiting in the cold to have my room I paid for unlocked. If this had been communicated somehow I probably wouldn’t have booked here and I would hesitate to do so in the future.

I've stayed in my fair share of motels over the years, but this had to be the worst experience I've ever had. The place was ok, not great, which was what we expected, all we needed was a place to crash and get some sleep for one night. The trouble started around 2:00 AM, loud jumping and stomping around in the room above us, then escalating to yelling. We tried calling the front desk, but no answer, got dressed and went up, it was locked --apparently they don't staff the place at night and no one monitors the phone! We tried sleeping again with loud white noise turned all the way up, but it didn't help. The yelling turned worse and it sounded like they were arguing and possibly on something. We finally called the police, and that helped for a little bit (the cop was also surprised the front desk was closed) and couldn't get the people in the room to answer. In the morning we tried to see about getting a refund, but the lady at the desk didn't have the power to do that. We asked for a call from management... it's been two days and counting and no word back. Very frustrating, we just wanted a safe place to sleep and couldn't even get that!

Despite what the listing says, there is no free breakfast. Given this was the reason I selected this hotel, I’m not impressed.

The Econo Lodge is a good budget motel. Close to restaurants and grocery. 5 min. drive to KU campus. Our room was clean, modestly updated with new flooring and shower area. Working ice machine, vending and laundry. Room heat/AC worked great. Mini-fridge and microwave included. Manager was very friendly and helpful.

Obviously this is an economical stay, but I thought it was totally good for the price. The service was good, the room had a fridge and a microwave, the bed was comfortable and the owners/managers were friendly and helpful. I would recommend.

The front desk staff was very friendly at check-in. I was pleasantly surprised to find the room was in perfect condition - everything was clean, the furniture was in good condition, the bed was very comfortable… I could tell the room had recently been renovated with freshly painted walls and upgraded bathroom amenities. It was very quiet, and the housekeeper was very friendly as well.

Upon entering the room, the floor was extremely sticky. The room also had a nasty smell. (Thank God I had febreeze in the car). In the bathroom, the tub was dirty and the floor also had not been swept. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. You get what you pay for.
