The breakfast was essentially a waffle maker. Very little else to choose from. Location is worn and walking down the hallways smelled like cigarette smoke. The mattress had to be somewhat old... noticeable indention from years of use. Furniture- assuming old, or broken, piled up in the parking lot. If money is all that matters, the rate is very good compared to paying well over $100 elsewhere... just understand, you get what you pay for.

Getting in a little late, I was tired and still had to wait on my SO. There were obvious signs of neglect, however, there were also signs of growth. Waterloo, and the Econo, are showing signs of growth, and I like it. Yes, they need support and I am here to offer mine.

The hallways smelled vaguely of body odor, and the rooms smelled like a mixture of salami and canned air freshener. My companions and I felt that the breakfast options were lacking as well

Partially renovated. Could do with fresh paint and carpets in hallways.

Had no clue how bad this hotel location was/is! Horrible area of dwntwn Waterloo! The staff was awful…rude and did not care about guests at all! Were more concerned about their phones or talking to eCh other in their native tongue…again was rude bc the guests should be showed that they were glad to have us. Not that we were bothering them. Had a room issue, but they ignored request to fix it. Whole place wreaked of smoking when description said non smoking hotel. Rooms were a nice size, but not clean…would not take my sandals off anywhere…including the shower! Only ‘good thing’ was that the bed was comfy and smelled/looked clean. Nothing else redeemable about this Econo lodge .

Wasn't the cleanest room. Service for towels and other amenities was decent. Had to plug up and/or set, clock and lamps.

I like how no one was in my business. It was quiet and in a way felt secluded from the rest of the hotel (in a good way).

It was a very basic room for the price not even a chair to sit in

Always my choice when staying in Waterloo! They have made a lot of improvements over the last couple of years! It is half the price of the hotel next door! Give it a try if you want to save money! Thanks!
