Stayed here for a night while passing through La Junta. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and check-in was quick and easy. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Solid value. Quiet location and easy parking. Would stay again.
Although the exterior and lobby look somewhat dated, our room was very clean and appeared recently updated. The bed was very comfortable. As for the exterior, it was "messy" and unkempt. Don't show up before 3 p.m. for check-in, even by 15 minutes.
Great hospitality nice folks Took good care of family stay here many times going to visit our son who is currently behind bars....
Better than I expected! The interior seemed re-done recently and the ceiling fan in the room was a bonus. Everything was clean, breakfast was limited (but to be expected with continental), and the hotel was quiet, which was nice.
I recently stayed here for 3 days because of work my room was really clean and cozy no weird smells and the front desk men were both helpful and very nice they even gave me and my boyfriend a free soda because they didn't have a vending machine and one of them even helped us open our room door because our hands were full I really enjoyed my stay here and wish to come back one day
Stayed at the Econo Lodge in La Junta for a few nights and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and convenient it was. The room was clean and had everything we needed—fridge, microwave, solid Wi-Fi, and a good bed. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and check-in was a breeze. Parking was easy and right by the room, which made unloading luggage quick (huge plus). What really made it stand out for the price was how quiet and well-maintained it felt. This isn’t a luxury resort—but if you’re looking for a no-nonsense, affordable place to rest, this one hits the mark. We’ll definitely keep this place in mind for future trips through La Junta. Way better than expected for the price!
The rooms smells nice and clean, the beds were comfortable and the service was friendly, The only issue i had here was there appeared to be mold on the bathroom ceiling and the breakfast left some to be desired. cereal, small muffins and the coffee was on the watery weak side. But overall had a good experience here. Would stay again
Basic, clean & convenient stop in La Junta. Friendly staff, comfortable room with fridge & microwave. Cable TV was good, but a little hard to figure out the controls between the TV & cable remotes. Breakfast was minimal but fine - cereal & mini muffins - all fresh and served in a clean well-maintained lobby. Considering the price of the room, it was totally reasonable. Older property and shows wear - but basically well maintained. The charging station on the nightstand was a nice bonus!
On a rural stretch of Highway 50, this unfussy hotel is 3 miles from the Koshare Indian Museum & Trading Post, and 10 miles from Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site.
