The Econolodge is a great option for those who are driving to Las Vegas, or are able to rent a car, and who are on a tight budget. As mentioned before, it is far from center strip, much closer to Downtown Las Vegas, and not in the greatest of neighborhoods. (But not in the worst either). The hotel is clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the staff is courteous and helpful. It is a great stay for the budget-minded.

However, this is not the place to stay if you plan on walking as your sole transportation to the strip. Of course there's The Deuce bus that runs 24 hours, but it is slow as the strip at night gets congested with traffic. You may find that it may take up to an hour on the Deuce to get back to the Econolodge at night with severe strip traffic, and then of course, you are getting home late at night in not the greatest of neighborhoods.

If you have a car though, no problem. The Econolodge is a great place to crash after a long night. I had a car during my stay as I always do- but I suppose I should say I am biased, I can't stand going to Vegas without a car because it so much easier to get from resort to resort, and to get away from the strip if needed- plus you are not walking around constantly in desert heat.

Overall, the Econolodge is a great budget stay, especially on a Friday or Saturday night.

Not in a good part of the town, but I stayed there for just one night. No hassels, and must say the front desk staff is very friendly. Much more than the other hotels I have stayed in. No bugs or anything. Clean room
Stay here if u r looking for a cheap place to stay, just to put ur bags, and get a few hours of sleep, and have something free to eat in the morning.

We stayed at this motel in July, 2007. The price was certainly cheap enough! The part of town it is in isn't "top notch", but it's safe. Why spend a fortune on a hotel room just to be asleep?

The room was clean, as were the "grounds". The swimming pool was also well maintained.

Free "starter" breakfast, too. Friendly staff.

We stayed at Econo Lodge just for 1 night on May 19. Actually we have had a reservation for 2 nights, but our flight delayed and we lost one night. Therefore I got change the reservation at the hotel site since I was at the airport in São Paulo. The hotel is clean, confortable and the location is good but the neighborhood is not good. There is a simple but enough breakfast. The breakfast room is not enough for the people, there is just three tables. There is one computer with high speed internet, there is no chair, it is important because many person use the internet just to play and other person can't use this. There is a swimming pool too.

  • Liked — Possibility to change the reservation at the same day.
  • Disliked — Neighborhood

6/7 found this review helpful

We stayed here during Fourth of July weekend last year and it was a miserable experience. The ONLY reason we stayed here was because it was 4th of July, and every single room at every single hotel on the strip was already booked. We impulsively stayed here during a road trip on our way back to Arizona from Utah and will never, ever, ever stay here again. It was an ugly room, old and outdated everything. The air conditioning did not work so I called the front desk and complained-not only did they not do anything about it, but all the other rooms were sold out so I was stuck sweating all night in 100 degree heat. It is nothing like it looks on the website. It is much, much worse. I think my boyfriend and I got into a fight because we were so miserable and it ruined the last leg of our vacation that would have otherwise been great.

This is a MOTEL in a drug, prostitute, gang-infested neighborhood and I would not recommend it to anyone, ever. You could not pay me to stay here again.

  • Liked — Nothing
  • Disliked — Everything, including the horrible customer service at the front desk
  • Tips/Secrets: — If you want to ruin your vacation, stay here
