Loved the large sized tv, super fast internet and very comfortable bed. Better sleep than at my own home. Quiet and clean. I was just as pleased with the service as I was the room. The staff really knows how to make you feel right as home. Anyone who's cost conscious but doesn't want to sacrifice quality and comfort should give Econo Lodge Rome a try.

I really don’t think I could say enough about Kelly. I was booked for a 5 night stay at another hotel but unfortunately I didn’t feel safe. I called econolodge and reached Kelly and she already made me feel so welcomed just over the phone! I booked through booking.com and arrived the next day. Because I and my friend are rather young, Kelly made sure to tell us where the parking lot camera was, so we would feel safe. She also made sure to put us in a room farther away from the sports team that was staying there. My grandma and uncle ended up staying the night on the last night of our trip, and Kelly helped me book the perfect room for my grandma who uses a walker! The room I stayed in was super clean and nice. Hardwood linoleum flooring plus a plastic wrap on the pillows before the pillow cases made everything feel super clean! No weird smells either. The beds were comfy and the linens were clean. The bathroom was spotless as well. In order to enter the hotel to get to the rooms, you have to use your keycard, and I appreciate that extra security. Kelly, if you’re reading this, thank you so so so much again! You truly did make us feel safe and welcomed and that’s more than I could ever ask for!

Stayed the weekend for a music festival. The manager went above and beyond to help accommodate my need for a ADA room. Especially with the hotel being fully booked. Rooms were clean

Can't complain about this hotel. The price is right. Could use a little more TLC, but overall, my experience was pleasant. Was able to sleep perfectly fine, and I felt comfortable.

Everything is clean. We got a smoking room, because it was the only thing they had and haven't smelt any smoke at all. Very pleased. Front desk staff is very nice! However, the only bad thing I have to say is (has nothing to do with the staff or hotel) the people next door to us are LOUD and have been banging on everything since about 11:00pm. Our little girl is trying to sleep, constantly hearing beats and bangs on the walls and maybe jumping on the bed have almost made it impossible...

The front desk staff was very friendly. Our room was clean, bed was comfy. Only con I came across was the ice from the ice machine had little black specks in it. I didn't complain though, so I can't expect it to change. It was nice and quiet, and peaceful. Just what I needed.
