We stayed for one night on our way to Idaho and for the price, it was a great stay. We paid $100 for the night and were able to get a room last minute. It is clearly a budget hotel but it felt clean and comfortable with a friendly staff. We will definitely stay on our way back home or if we take another road trip.
The front desk clerk was very friendly and informative. The room was old but clean. The restaurant was closed down. The price for a king for two adults was 60.01 including taxes. Over all I give them four stars.
I needed to stop at the last minute to get a room for the night. I thought I had made a reservation online but I had picked the wrong date. Jordan at the front desk was kind and courteous and hooked me up with a good rate for the evening. It was a great room and I will definitely stay at the Econo Lodge when traveling through Rawlins again.
The staff here were super kind to me and even welcomed my 3 Chihuahuas. The room was comfortable and clean. And deer were grazing about the property which added to this pleasant stay.
I was low on funds and needs a place. The halls smelled of cigarette smoke and Feet. The room was about the same. The room was acceptable. If you go the $$ stay somewhere better.
The room we stayed in was a little dated, but very comfortable. Our TV didn't work, but it wasn't a big deal since we were there to explore, not watch mindless TV. Our room had a sliding door that opened to the pool area, and it was surprisingly quiet. We didn't take advantage of the pool, but it was nice to have the option to. The mini fridge worked exceptionally well, although we had to be careful opening it, as the door fell off at one point. Our room wasn't ready when we got there, but the front desk staff was very helpful and got us into our room quickly. The room was clean. Will definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our stay! Rooms are clean and neat. They have high quality food, so delicious The staff treated us like family. Everyone was so helpful and generous! Thank you for a fantastic time. Definitely will be back to see y'all!
Super friendly staff, they helped us out when we accidentally booked the wrong date online. Rooms are comfortable and clean. The Mexican restaurant next door is delicious. Lots of amenities and it was a great price.
