Econo Lodge Rice Lake

Close to the hospital

Good for just a night

Got in late so didn’t get to explore much. Hotel was clean & room was ready for us

Fabulous, helpful, friendly staff. The food area was well-stocked and delicious! Privacy was respected and there wasnt much noise anywhere. Hot tub perfect temperature. The pool was very nice too.

Check in staff was rude and very unfriendly. Very unprofessional in dressing! Tank tops should not be allowed ever!! Breakfast was not restocked once, coffee was empty! Front desk staff more concerned about complaining to each other about the previous shift employees.

It was a place to shower and sleep. Coffee was blah. Waffles are always good.

The only thing I didn’t like was that it was WAY cold in my room as I walked in! But turning down the AC worked just fine.

The room was not ready at 3. They carried my sheets to room in hand while smoking/vaping in other. Cob webs by bathroom, sticky floors. Very very noisy til 10:30 when we finally called the front desk. We said the kids were screaming running past our room and making all the dogs bark. The kids were pounding on the doors and scared the crap out of us by pounding on our door and window. We called the front desk and told the women who replied”yeah I know”. I think one of the kids was hers making the noise. Didn’t sleep all night wondering if the teenagers would break in, or damage our car. Do not stay here if traveling with a dog. Rooms were unacceptable and we felt like a second class citizen. Will never ever stay here again. We left at 5:30am. Another person left that night. Awful night.

I can't speak for the main hotel, but the pet friendly motel rooms are separate. The floor was noticeably gritty with dirt. One bed was full of dirt and pet hair once turned down. There was garbage on the bathroom floor. And the minifridge still had a half eaten frozen pizza in it! Despite the garbage being emptied and the beds being made, the room had definitely NOT been cleaned! We had come from out of state so it was a very late check-in. The guy working the desk was either new or half asleep and struggled to figure out which room was ours. If it weren't for the afternoon staff being friendly and helpful when I called to notify them of our late arrival and for the morning staff looking horrified when I brought them the pizza and explained what our room had looked like, I would give this place negative stars. Even being apologetic, no one offered any sort of comp for what we had to stay in. Gross!

This property was an okay stay in Rice Lake, but I don't think I would stay there again. The staff's kid was allowed to swim unsupervised and under age for the posted rules, yet he was tattling to staff that we had food by the pool that was sealed, and we were not eating, and we were asked to remove it. It would have been nice if you enforced all the rules, not just some of them. Also, it was very loud because there were no soft-close or bumpers on the doors, so it sounded like people were slamming doors all night.
