.....Just back from a very enjoyable 6 day 2,000 mile back road pony cruze that included two nights at the Econo Lodge Lebanon, Mo. while overindulging at the Starvy Creek Blue Grass Festival at Conway. Booked this room far in advance after reading the somewhat mixed reviews. Our expoerience was good with a very comfortable bed and pillows, clean, quiet, value, well furnished with all the necessities and door parking a plus and very easy access to I-44. The front desk and staff were very friendly. The breakfast was OK for motel but would recommend Elm Street Eatery just down the road if'n you want a good breakfast... Lebanon dining offerings are many, but Dowd's Catfish & BBQ would be my choice for a great meal. Check em out... Cya down the road ... .. .O o- Carl H. (BC Mayor..=)~

“Visit”

Found the room clean and comfortable. Thought there was a faint odor of urine. Breakfast was okay. They had bagels, toast, waffles, cereals, coffee various juices, etc. Owner needs to do a little work on roof. Lobby had several buckets sitting to catch drips.

“The place could use a little TLC”

First the not so good, then the good. First impression: upon arrival I noticed about a third of the ceiling tiles in the hotel lobby had dark brown stains...evidence of roof leaks.

First the not so good, then the good. First impression: upon arrival I noticed about a third of the ceiling tiles in the hotel lobby had dark brown stains...evidence of roof leaks. Many were simply gone (either fallen out or removed)...empty squares in the grid which allowed me to look at the bottom of the roof. There was a bucket and a "Wet Floor" sign under one of the areas which had no ceiling tiles. The room: there was no trash on the floor but the carpets hadn't been vacuumed very well, the bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, the toilet was loose and rocked a bit, the lavatory handle was loose, one of the lamps in the room seemed to have a bad switch or a loose wire because it didn't stay on when I turned it on...but it did stay on after I wiggled the switch a bit, the mattresses and pillows were old and a bit lumpy. That's the bad, now for the good. The bed linens and towels were clean. The insides of the fridge and microwave were spotless. For smokers and/or people who travel with pets, they have smoking rooms and pet friendly rooms though most are dedicated as non-smoking, people only rooms. It is in a well traveled area close to a hospital, the parking lot is well lit at night, parking was within feet of the room, the door was triple protected with an electronic lock, a chain, and a deadbolt so safety and security never concerned me. The AC/heater unit kept the temperature of the room at a comfortable level despite the day-to-night temperature fluctuations in the Ozarks in the spring. When I arrived it was warm outside so I had the AC on. As night fell it got cool outside, the room got too cool, so I set it to heat the room. The unit worked as desired in both modes. The hot water got hot very quickly after turning it on and it stayed hot. Breakfast was great and offered many options...cereal, milk, fruit, muffins, bagels, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, and my favorite - a waffle maker. The price is really good. The staff are very friendly. Lebanon's a neat little town. Would I recommend the Lebanon Econo-Lodge? Yes, I would. It needs mattress and pillow updates and needs lot of minor maintenance...the type that most people could tackle themselves without having to call in an electrician or a plumber. And the person who operates the vacuum needs to work on their vacuuming skills. But all-in-all, I got a good night's sleep and I feel I got good value for my money.
