8/10 Very good

I very much enjoyed my night. Of course, the hotel was a bit outdated, but it was quiet, clean, very affordable and the bed was super comfortable. I'd definitely recommended and come again.
Sabine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice that even though it was a Friday night~it was still quiet. I had a great night sleep.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is a good place to stay for my regular trips to Watertown. Clean room and reasonable price.
Tracy, 2-night trip

A very pleasant place to stay
Data, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly, comfortable and was clean.
Lisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Meh

The hotel is dated and rundown. It is desperate need of a remodel. Our room smelled moldy and the breakfast was limited and all-in-all non-existent.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All good overall.

Excellent choice for the buck.
Euro, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would stay here again! The staff was nice, and our room seemed well cleaned. Just a few downsides were our room had a very dusty smell when we first walked in, the window didn’t have a nob to open it, and there weren’t many channels on the Tv. But nothing beats the great price!
Johanna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very impressed

I stayed here many years ago and the place was run down dirty and not very friendly staff time. And now I was very impressed with the staff. They are very polite. Acknowledge you when you walk by and the room was excellent. Great improvement and great place in a better place than last time.
Lloyd, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The first room we were given smelled of cat urine, which was horrible. The desk clerk argued that there was never a cat in the room and then came into the room to see for himself. He then moved us to another room, in which dirty towels had been left behind the bathroom door on a hook. The air worked great, the beds were comfortable, but would definitely not recommend the facility.
Susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent Value

I stayed at the Econo Lodge in late March 2025 for business. I checked in very late, but the front desk person had my check-in paper printed and ready. My room was clean and comfortable. The coffee and breakfast in this hotel is ready by 5:30. Probably the best value hotel in Watertown.
Tim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice cheap stay, no complaints
Cameron, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff rudeness

I got the room for my boys as their sister was getting married. Upon their arrival the owner chewed them out cuz I had put the reservation under name on my card, LH. He griped cuz he said couldn’t enter it into his computer and then complained about the dog as they had their dog. Told my sons to bring cash down in the morning. That’s all something that should have been addressed with me, the person who made the reservation.
