Econo Lodge

I rarely post reviews and usually only after I've left. I am an older female, that travels alone, for work. I stay long and short term. I rely heavily on other's reviews when I decide to stay somewhere. That being said...I am currently staying in this Econolodge in Purcell, OK. I cleaned vacation rentals for 7 years before I took this job. I'm trained to find filth. If I'm staying short-term, first I look for price. I don't want to pay Hilton prices to sleep for 6 hours and be gone again. I like motels where I can park directly in front of my room door. No lobby hallways , no stairs. I left South Texas on my way to NW Iowa this morning. I was tired but not near half way. Came upon Purcell and the sun had already gone down, my rear end was tired. Pulled off the highway, into the first gas station and started reading reviews. Called this place. Guy who answered the phone was nice and helpful. Check in was quick and easy. Lobby was clean enough. Heard kid giggles from behind an "employees only" door. Caretakers live here...checked into my room, at the end of the parking lot...which, I liked. When I say I'm trained to find filth, I mean it. I take pride in it! First, Check the bed for bugs and hair. Good. Check bathroom tub and toilet for dirt. Good. Check floor corners and under beds and inside drawers for crud left behind. None. See if counters, minors and fridge and microwave have been cleaned. Good. Ate my supper and got ready for bed. Heard some noise from outside but it was just other guests checking in. Whoever checked in upstairs is heavy footed but being downstairs has its price. I can tell you this...I am currently snuggled up...underneath the bed covers....and I NEVER sleep inside the covers in a motel. I carry my own. It's clean. It might be older and might need some updating but it's a short stay. On my way somewhere else. My socks are still clean
There are no bugs. And I'm comfortable.

I booked this place on a very late whim last night. Econo Lodges are hit and miss in my experience. This place was a total hit. It’s easy to get to clean, comfy, and the price is right. I booked through GoSplitty, which had the lowest price. This place is one of the nicest Econo Lodges or motels I’ve ever stayed in anywhere in the country. The bathroom is always one of the barometers of a good place for me. It was nicely outfitted, very clean, and well kept. Everything in the room was functional, nicely decorated. I wish I could have this room everywhere I go. It beats Baymont, LaQuita, and Hampton Inn on a budget price that would make Motel 6 blush.

The guy who runs this place is awesome! We are in town as volunteer SAR for a person missing in the local wildlife management area. Even though they were booked over the weekend for a football game, they found a way to accommodate us. He rented rooms at a different place to be able to do so. He was very nice and so easy to work with. I would 100% send my family here. The rooms are clean, no bugs, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows, cold AC, with a fridge and microwave that both work well.

I gave it 4 stars(for the type of hotel it is). Maybe they gave me the best room in the hotel, but I was really surprised at the size of the room when I walked in. I stepped it off as 33'x13' give or take. An extremely large room for a hotel of this type. The room was clean, maybe recently remodeled, had a comfortable bed, and didn't have any foul odors lingering about. The TV lineup offered a choice of many different channels. All in all, I was very pleased. The price was right too, considering I stayed in a real dump the previous night for the same cost!
