I haven't stayed at this particular EconoLodge before, but I have stayed at EconoLodges in the past. They're obviously not going to be as high-quality as somewhere like the Hilton, but imo for the purposes of a con-goer there's really no reason to worry about that. How often are you planning to be at your hotel? The showers work and the beds are clean, so for me that's all I really care about, which is why I booked a room there despite the bad reviews.
