comfortable, clean room with a nice bed at a surprisingly good price.
Last night was my third stay. This will be my "go to" stop on trips between TN and MN. Inexpensive rates, very clean and well maintained rooms, comfy beds, plenty of table and desk space, microwave & fridge, pleasant and helpful service from the front desk. Very accessible from the freeway, with an excellent family restaurant across the street (Woody's), perfect for breakfast or dinner with great menu options and excellent service. Will stay again on my return trip next week and future trips.
Since it was taken over from Days Inn, there have been some much needed improvements --- paint, new flooring. Looks good! Please improve breakfast- stale mini pastry, no tea --- not good. Perhaps some yogurt & waffles
I had no problems at all getting a room. They were pretty decent and clean rooms. Nice staff. My only complaint is I wish they would turn the air on at least to cool the room off a bit before arriving, it's tough when you have to go to sleep in a hot room...
Everything looked clean. Shower had good hot water and strength. Room had refrig. Micro. Iron, hairdryers, tissue. TV remote worked. Clock, phone. No USB port in our room. 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, 2 wash clothes. Bring extra towel or ask for some if you have long hair. Bring your own body wash. Shampoo, conditioner in shower. Hand bar soap supplied. Breakfast nook. No a/c in there. Bread, Cinnabons, milk, waffle maker, cold cereal, coffee, sunny D. Vending machine empty but McDonald's across parking lot. Washer and dryer on site. Didn't use pool but looked great. We will stay again. No issues. Staff was kind and helpful. They gave AARP discount.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Econo Lodge in El Paso, and I must say, the recent change in franchise has truly elevated this place to a new level of comfort and convenience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the friendly staff. The room I stayed in was not only impeccably clean but also thoughtfully designed. The new furnishings and decor exuded a sense of style and comfort that I didn’t expect from an economy hotel. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. They also have breakfast in the morning. The location of this hotel is also worth mentioning. It’s conveniently situated near McDonald’s and highways, making it easier. Overall, I highly recommend the Econo Lodge in El Paso to anyone seeking a comfortable, and welcoming place to stay.
I was happily impressed by the service, cleanliness of the hotel and our room. Sure it has a couple of spots on the carpet. But that comes with any hotel. They provide cinnamon rolls, bread, cereal, waffle maker, juice, milk and coffee. We have been on the road for 3 weeks and have stayed at many hotels. This hotel far exceeded my expectations. It was a much better experience then the last 2 hotels we stayed at. Those hotels cost over $120 a night and did not provide much at all. We payed 40% less then any of those hotels at this econo lodge and received way better service and amenities. I'll definitely stop hear again on our next cross country journey. Thank you for the great experience!!
Very nice stay good price also definitely recommend and worth staying staff is very supportive

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
