Econo Lodge Weldon - Roanoke Rapids

This motel will be considered substandard by most people that wish to pursue an overnight stay with them. I am not going to be too critical because this was just an overnight stay for me, on my way home. But, I will never stay here again, there are other places in the price range and in this part of the I-95 corridor that are much nicer. This property appears to be under some sort of renovation. At check out, I saw the room status report at the front desk. My guess is that they rent about 15 rooms per night with the rest of the rooms at the property being closed for renovation. I know that renovation is in progress because I experienced grinding sounds and other construction sounds when I checked in, just above my head.

The room was a typical motel, with beds, TV and a fridge. However, $115 for one night wasn't what I would expect from a chain called ''Econo Lodge.'' This was almost $50 more than the coupon indicated the price would be.
