So right off the bat to level set the expectations. This is needles California. It’s a pretty small partially abandoned town. The room was very clean. The staff was very polite. Check in was super easy. However, the neighborhood was questionable. I had to walk my dog at night, and frankly it was a little scary, because of some of the people wandering around and a couple of the abandoned buildings, the walls are pretty thin. I could hear couples on both sides of me. Definitely meant to sleep and then go no table no chair. All of that is actually not so bad for what you pay and what you should expect. The part I didn’t like was that only a few rooms were dog friendly, which means there’s always a chance that when you get there, they won’t let you check in with your dog if those rooms happen to be occupied There was no area at all to walk my dog. I had to leave themotel grounds. And the floor was, warped and lifting where other dogs had peed so often.

Nothing fancy, just a clean, quiet, and affordable stop for the night.

There was no hot water. We complained that night, we were told to keep running the water, nothing. Same thing in the morning. It was obvious the plumbing was shot. And the sink faucet was prevented from turning to hot water. There was a quarter roll of toilet paper. That’s it. What a dump.

Charming, recently updated rooms. Easy checkin. Super clean. Comfortable bed. We did not make use of the refrigerator or microwave in the room, but a definite nice to have. Plenty of towels, soap, and shampoo in the bathroom. Would stay here again and highly recommend. Oh, and a light breakfast is included which we did not sample, but again, a very nice to have.

Definitely did not look like the pictures online. Hotel room was cramped (but the closet, ironically, was HUGE). Breakfast was not good. Towels old. Clean but no style or personality (walls white with no art, overhead light no lamps). Located in industrial part of city. Front desk clerk (who also doubled as housekeeper) was very, very pleasant. Overall clean, beds OK, TV small, no frills at all and just dated and sad looking.

I booked the room as a part of a Route 66 trip. The staff here were very friendly. I got in later than I expected but they seemed unphased by my after-dark arrival. Room was overall clean. Shower looked recently remodeled. Parts of Needles are a little rough looking but the area around the Econo Lodge was not.

A nicely renovated and refreshed property in an rather run down area. Limited space in BR w no place to hang used/wet towels.

Very close to Amtrak station. Went to Needles to visit grave of recently deceased friend. Manager was very helpful and nice. AC in room did not work right. Had to prop windows open with shampoo bottles. Ceiling lights were harsh 5700k work lights not 2500k reddish living room lamps. Felt like I was in a garage all night. No hangers in closet and no dollar store nearby to buy any.

My husband loves rooms we can drive up to after knee surgery. This is a gem! The rooms are newly remodeled. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.
