Econo Lodge Effingham - Effingham, IL —
Though we've stayed in Effingham, Il. previously, we hadn't previously stayed at the Econo Lodge in Effingham, Il. It was located near I70/I55 before the two roads split.
Our room was a downstairs room with a great view of the BP sign from the gas station adjacent. The weather was cool, dry, and very nice, and for some reason I spent some time staring up at the BP sign against the blue sky with big puffy clouds.
Two things bothered me about this motel. The first was that though the hotel advertises having WIFI (wireless Internet) they apparently don't have it...at least the gentleman at the desk told me there was no WIFI at this location...which was dissapointing to me since if I don't get my daily connection I seem to feel isolated. The second thing was that their icemakers were both coincidentally broken. The guy at the desk was nice, he mentioned they had previously had problems with Ice, but though it had been fixed...apparently not while we were there (they have 2 icemachines, both were broken). A little ice would have been nice.
The room was quiet, comfortable, and the breakfast was pretty nice, with make-your-own waffles, cereal, etc...not too uncommon these days.
The hotel is certainly well located, but the lack of wifi and the problematic ice might make me rethink staying there again.
