The economic lodge while being somewhat dated is very clean and comfortable. The staff has gone to great lengths to ensure my stay is the best experience possible. I have stayed at $ 100 a night inns that do not offer the comfort and security I have at EconoLodge. I definitely recommend this motel

My only complaint is that the room smelled like pets had recently been in it, but this is a pet friendly hotel. Perhaps the room was not deodorized or aired out before I checked in. It was clean, and the staff were feiendly and accomodating.

We stayed here for one night when visiting the area. Arrived late, were received by a friendly host, the bed was fine, the room looked clean. It could use a bottle of Febreze though! The walls are thin and situated between busy roads on both sides, you might have some noise. We were too tired to notice. Breakfast was as you would expect. Muffins and bagels and weak coffee.

I had a multiple night stay at the Lewiston Idaho Econo Lodge. The staff were very helpful and kind. Any question that I had regarding my stay was answered as well as possible, and with professionalism. I was greeted with a smile. The room was very clean and staff was keen to regularly ensure my towels were clean and that the toiletrys provided were kept filled. They have a lot of nice amenitys, and make sure to let you know so you don't miss out. My stay was great so I thought I would let everyone know.

Hotel staff have been VERY helpful and will bed over backwards to make your stay here as enjoyable as possible. I send contractors to this location and had nothing but nice things to say about the budget friendly accommodations. They also have rooms on the ground so you can keep an eye on work trucks. I will continue to use this location!
