This was right on the river. I felt safe, as a single traveler. The room was clean. The front desk staff was always friendly. Breakfast area was clean. The location is perfect to be close enough to walk to the strip but just far enough away to have peace and quiet. I spent lot of time on the balcony, listening to the water and the geese would come by for a visit at least twice a day. I’ll definitely be back.

This was a very nice Econo Lodge. It did appear that our front door may have needed to be repaired from an earlier incident otherwise we felt safe and it was a quiet place. The balcony and the area around the river was great. We didnt get a chance to use the pool but it appeared to be in need of an update. I would stay here again!

Favorite part was the room overlooked the river with a patio to sit outside and enjoy the view. The room was very clean but could tell they were in the process of repainting.
