Econo Lodge Needles

Basic, economical accommodation, but clean and comfortable enough. Personable and helpful front desk person. Breakfast is coffee, cold cereal, oatmeal, no eggs. Not fancy, but enough to get your day started,

Overall, the place is kind of dingy, could use some renovation, but clean and comfortable enough for a short stay.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable.

The shower’s hot water was like warm, at best. The shower head needs to be replaced with a newer model.

Room and closet were good size. Parking was close. Except for tub, it seemed fairly clean. The A/C worked well.

No hot water for shower, broken (sharp) floor in a couple places you couldn’t avoid. Breakfast was terrible. Like embarrassingly bad. No coffee cups in the room with a coffee maker.

The location

The property was easy to find from the highway.

The rooms and property are dated. The room had floors with water damage, the wood was buckled from water/liquid damage. The bathroom walls were dusty and dirty. The shower bottom had a rusty stain around drain. The conditioner and shampoo dispensers were caved in and not full and needed fixing/replacing. The tiny soaps for body and hands were hard to start a lather and then left a feeling of extreme tackiness, but once dried off the feeling was gone. There were stains on the comforter and sheets. There was dried food on window curtain. The facility being old and dated you can hear people in rooms next door and outside noises. The desk lady was very friendly and helpful. Wish they put some money into making the motel and rooms nicer.

Well lit, friendly staff, good value.

My door needed special treatment to lock and unlock. Check your doors when you leave and before you go to bed! The door might need to be slammed or pulled hard or wrestled with. I had to call the staff after 11pm because I thought the door didn’t lock. Glad I double checked!
