Excellent Stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/3/08
The manager is very hospitable and friendly. This was evident when I called to make my reservation.
Upon my arrival, I was greated by a friendly desk clerk and the manager. He knew immediately who I was.
During check-in, we talked about many things. He said my room would be ready in a few minutes, as they were hanging new draperies. I told him that he did not have to redecorate just because I was coming. He laughed and said that I had new carpet, too.
My air conditioner was running and the room cool. The new window treatments and carpet were most welcome. Everything was spotless. Such service and amenities are rare when travelling on business and staying at lower budget properties.
The location is convenient to downtown Parkersburg. The excellent food and service at the Pub next door makes for an excellent stay.
The Econolodge grounds were tidy, shrubs freshly pruned, flowers in bloom. The outdoor pool sparkled.
I set up my computer and quickly connected to the wireless service. The large TV and refrigerator were most welcome. I was offered a microwave if needed.
This friendly Econolodge offers clean rooms and great value for business and leisure travelers. Large suites are available for families. And, they accept pets.
If planning to visit the Parkersburg/Marietta area and looking for budget friendly rooms, this the place to stay. There are many things to see and do in the Mid Ohio Valley. Ohio River boat towns are full of history. Blennerhasset Island lies just off the shores of Parkersburg. And, this EconoLodge is conveniently located to all the sites and scenery in the area.
