Econo Lodge Hadley Near University

While I was staying at this hotel, I read in the local newspaper that the local government has acquired the property and will convert it into low-income housing. I stayed at the hotel for four nights, which is long enough to see strengths and weaknesses that may not be obvious during a quick one night stay. Here are the strengths: my room was clean and spacious. The hotel is located on busy Route 9, but my room was quiet and I got a good night’s sleep. Here are weaknesses: they’ve stopped cleaning rooms except when new guests check in. It would have been nice to be offered a fresh set of towels after a couple days, or empty the waste baskets during my longer stay. The few employees on premises were friendly, but the hotel is extremely understaffed. I rarely saw another person during my four days. I’m guessing one staff person multitasks for front desk, housekeeping etc. The breakfast bar is pretty worthless, with a few prepackaged muffins and tiny yogurts.
