Econo Lodge

For the value, this hotel was a good choice. I cannot say enough about the excellent customer service we received from Carole and Cathy in particular. This is an economy hotel — so expect that. But we were treated well and would stay again.

Please note this review is 7÷29−30÷2015. This is an old Clarion, it is currently being rebranded as an EconoLodge. The chain has down graded it. It is apparently under new management. I will give them credit, they are really trying, but if they were up and running on all cylinders it would be a 2.5 at best. The trouble is I’m on my third room and I’ve just given up. First the Pros; It’s clean and Patti and Amanda are the front lobby staff and really try hard! That’s it for the Pros. The Cons; Room #1 #259 no air, it’s summer in Tennessee. 95+ degree today, no air on when I arrive in the room. I turn in on, no biggie, 1:20 hour later still 85+ in the room call front desk, no problem, let’s move you to #257, move #2. Great! Go down, get the key, come back, rooms cool, but beds are stripped and room is unmade. Call Amanda, no problem we will move you to #267, move #3. Move all my stuff, room is 80 degrees and the unit is turned off, okay this may work, turn air on it’s currently 1:21am EST and it has cooled to 79.7 degrees. Cold shower, still hot. Fridge does not work in this room. Pitch the FAT’Z leftovers. TO HOT TO SLEEP, FRUSTRATED AND BECOMING ANGRY. Free Wi-​Fi! If you are in the right room. This is being written from my iPhone personal HotSpot, not a happy camper!
All that said, and as unhappy as I am, I have to say they seem close to getting it turned around. Maybe at a later date they are better. Maybe the first floor is better. I’m miserable but maybe the new owner can turn this around. Good Luck, I hope you do! Just not quite ready yet!
It’s 6:30 am and the room is now about 75 degrees. Not much sleep.

This isn’t the Ritz Carlton, but for $ 60, not bad. Moldy AC/​heat, but otherwise clean room. This was once a Motel, but has since been surrounded by glass to make it a Hotel.

Surprised?!
I happened to marry an asthmatic and my parents have 8 cats, so whenever I come to visit them in Greeneville, we have to stay in a hotel. Some of the other more reputable hotels are nice but double the cost of Econo. At the risk of a mold/​allergy meltdown we decided to give it a shot.
We were given a bottom floor room in the main lobby. It was pleasantly quiet! The room was obviously worn, dim lighting, but in decent shape. Very comfortable beds! There was a modly smell that lingered in the room but other than causing some sniffles, there was no major effects. The shower head (minor detail, but worth sharing) made for a very refreshing shower– great water pressure. The continental breakfast was standard (cereal, eggs, biscuits, breads, and pastries).
As long as you’re expecting a no frills 2.5 star hotel quality, you won’t be disappointed. The Greeneville Econo Lodge provides a roof over your head, a good night’s sleep, and a refreshing shower.
One complaint: the first night of our visit the night manager was SMOKING in the LOBBY. For reals dude? The door outside is another 20 feet away.
