Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Old Saybrook - Westbrook

I stay at a lot of places like this at this price point from Cape Cod to the Canadian border therefore it's tough for me to complain. There are only three things I desire from a motor lodge: a level clean bed, a non-sticky floor and ample hot water for the shower. The Econolodge failed to deliver on the third criteria. The water wasn't cold but it never got hot. It was just a quarter-inch turn of the spigot short of a satisfactory bathing experience and in all my travels, this was the first time I have encountered consistent tepid water in the shower. This was no malfunction, you will not get hot water from these people. The hospitality industry weeps. Water down the coffee, skip the danish and corn flakes just don't go cheap on the hot water. While I'm at it, the fan in the heater unit also managed to be loud enough to drown out the TV but that was ok because you couldn't even get a movie channel anyway, just old sitcoms and local news. That was also a first. Usually you can get one movie channel even at the most frugal places. It's not a bad place, they just won't allow themselves to be good.

The room was clean, beds were comfortable and staff was friendly. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and quick.

Nice little hotel that was clean and comfortable. The outside was pretty, with flowers and a lake. The inside seemed updated and well kept. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area again.

Hallway filthy feeling, smelly. Front desk, lounge needs an overhaul. Last night, could smell pot coming from a room.

tidy and neat, easy to hear people in the other rooms, otherwise GOOD STAY

I enjoyed my stay except they already had the pool closed Labor Day week with temperatures in the mid eighty's. The site does list pool as seasonal; they should note what they consider their season.

Everything was good but it said breakfast 7 to 10 I think. When I went down for my walk the sign was covered but was given a to go bag.

The bathroom fan cover was on the counter with a dirty rag. We sanitized all the counters

In general a good stay. But definitely the bed wasn’t comfortable,. As a travelers a good night sleep is a plus,that requires a good bed with a great mattress and good pillows.
