Towels should be swapped out daily, especially if the guest is asking for fresh towels. I shouldn't have to argue with staff, just bring the towels. No carpet means the floor in the room should be swept daily.

We’ve been coming to the Econo Lodge for years (since it was the Tillicum Inn and enjoyed our stays. Unfortunately, this year we were disappointed. Our keys would open the room, but wouldn’t work on the exterior doors forcing us to enter through the office door. This made it difficult to haul our luggage and other items from our vehicles to the room. On three of the four days we stayed, the exterior doors wouldn’t open. For $157 per night, we expected better conditions. We may have to look into other options the next time we travel to Umatilla. Also, the toilet in room 118 needs to be secured as it wobbled when used.

External appearance was underwhelming and the Halloween decoration didn’t help. However, beds and facilities were good and the bathroom matched places we stayed at 2x the cost. Also the $10 pet fee was the best of our trip from Texas. Restaurant next door was convenient.

Cheap room, but paper thin walls. Breakfast was nothing more than pastries and juice. Woke up to the neighbor loudly talking early morning after being up all night at Rock the Locks. Don’t stay here if you want to sleep.

The place appeared clean for the most part. The room was pretty warm even with the AC on. The staff were nice. The only thing is there was no breakfast out. Everything was locked and limited (i.e. only 1 juice per person) Location was quiet and convenient with a dollar general and gas station near by.

Nice place. Check in was easy. Easy parking. Probably could do a little better on their Continental breakfast. Yogurt and sugary snacks. But all in all It was a good place to stay for the night.

0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

This place is a dump and has bugs. All the rooms smell like smoke and the AC was broken, no refund partial or otherwise, the manger dodged my calls for a week. I called every day I still bug bites from this nasty place. Also, there is no breakfast. They put out a few containers of juice and a handful of prepackaged pastries.
