Nice staff and clean room
It smelled like a musty basement and the bed was like sleeping on a board.

The room was just ok.
The lobby facility was poor. Lobby was dirty. Check in desk was behind plexi glass sheets with just one little opening to customer. It looked like a party store in a high crime location. Door to lobby was dirty. Breakfast was supposed to be included, but wasn't. Would not have eaten there anyway.

A/C worked
place was run down. primarily housed,migrant and transient workers, whom they classified as “stay-overs”.
Dirty towels in the room, floor sticky and dirty, whole place smelled of cigarettes. when I asked them to please mop the floor it wasn’t done. The poor fellow in charge of maintenance and cleaning owned up that he forgot and/or thought we were a “stay over”.
Owner uses it as lodging for hisfamily it seems. There was a guy sleeping on the couch in the lobby and threatening signs at the pool and laundry

The only thing I can compliment was the size of the room for 3 of us.
Being told we had no reservations after confirming 3 times and showing the confirmation email code to the front desk. There was no breakfast, pool was closed, gym was closed. There were leaking spots in the ceiling in the halls, it was dim, dirty, and the 5 days we were there no one came in the room to clean or replace towels, wash cloths, take out trash or anything. I had to ask for clean linens then was told oh the person called off who replaces them, which I know wasn't the case because I ran into her in the hall and specifically asked for new items.

close to highway
Econo lodge Princeton Ill Strange smells as we entered the lobby and especially hallway to our room (no smoking?) and visually very sketchy ..if we hadn’t prepaid and if we weren’t exhausted last night we’d have driven on. The.room was clean, mattress was very basic and hard, bedding and towels were not luxurious in any way; very old heater in room. Overall he place is in great need of updates.

Was super bummed that they advertised a continental breakfast but did not offer it. Also the pool was shut down which sucked.

Humite was to high! everything was wet, and smell bad.

The sheets were clean. No bugs.
No breakfast, no pool, hard bed and the price was higher than the last time I stayed. Also, we stayed 2 nights but no one came to take our linnon nor trash so we had to improvise and the staff kept bugging us about when we were going to check out, more than an hour before check out time.
3.0
Found bag of opened potatoes chips in draw & ants in bathroom. Holes to the blanket, chair was filthy, hope I didn’t bring bugs home with me! Will never stay there again no matter the cost!
Building was behind a storage area & a store that was closed down! Had trouble finding drive as bushes covered the sign by the drive!

Nothing.
The property was very run down, dirty, no internet, no pool, no breakfast, and the elevator was sketchy. When we entered the room the window was open, screen had a hole in it and it was 88 degrees outside. There were hairs in the tub, big spider on the wall, and a stained sheet on the bed. Do not recommend.
1.0
Nothing
No continental breakfast. Pool was closed. Left for the day my window was closed came back to my window being open and blinds open. Went and told the staff they said it was probably the housekeeper. Bed wasn’t made so I know it wasn’t housekeeping. Staff seemed to now care.
5.0
There was no breakfast offered. The grounds were not kept up. The lawn was uncut and the garden areas in front of the building was very weedy. The room itself was nothing to write home about.
8.0
Staff was friendly. Price and location were highly competitive and convenient. Manager was very kind and helpful.
Everything was fine for a 1 or 2 star facility. It's not a Hilton. Water pressure was weak. Needs a new shower head but they're cheap so it'll be easy to get one.
