Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Old Saybrook - Westbrook, Old Saybrook

Exceptional

Good

Last minute stay and I...

Liked: The place was clean and close to everything. My main concern always is cleanliness and no bugs and both were satisfied
Disliked: They handed us a white paper bag with hostess muffins, breakfast bar and a small bottle of water. That was breakfast.

Good

Liked: Nice property (gardens). Clean enough.
Disliked: Breakfast in a to-go bag. Shower pressure was bad.

Needs updates

Liked: Price was good for what we needed last minute for a funeral.
Disliked: There was an odd smell through out the hotel, the whole place needs lots of updates. We are frequent travelers and this was definitely not one of our best stays but we had other family members that picked this hotel and we were all trying to stay at the same place due to its location of the funeral.

The hotel had a vintage...

Liked: When you pull in it has a vintage charm and looks promising. For breakfast they offer you a waffle maker and mix, so you can make your own waffle. They had a coffee machine and juice.
Disliked: We couldn't eat the breakfast since we are gluten free and the only option was a waffle. They were out of Apple Juice when we got there and they didn't offer water. You had to buy a small bottle for a dollar if you wanted water. The room had a weird smell that I could not get used too. The floor wasn't clean. I wiped up some water that spilled and the tissue was black. I didn't want to walk on the floor without shoes. It would have been nice if they gave a couple extra towels. They were very thin. The bed made a loud banging sound when I turned over. That was weird and the air conditioner would not come on when I needed it. We brought a dog and I was relieved to get fresh air when he needed a walk. The room didn't have a carpet, why did it smell like that? Maybe they need air purifiers. I know it was a cheaper hotel but the room should at least be clean and not smell bad, and have beds that don't make loud banging noises.
