Easy to locate when getting off highway. The pool was great indoors. The TV picture was dark unable to see and Toilet was not secure to the floor it moved side to side in use. The first night requesed repairs for both items didn't happen clerk wouldn't give any amount off the room during the 2 day stay for the inconvenience.

Fair price for a clean room.
It was just right for what we needed at the time- a place to sleep and get ready while visiting an ill relative in town. The room was clean- nothing fancy. It appeared that the pool was open, however, we didn't utilize it. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, we were satisfied with the accommodations because it fulfilled our need for something inexpensive yet safe and clean. We would stay there again if we return to Waupaca.

disapointment
They advertise a hot tub and pool. The pool is dirty and the hot tub is closed. The carpeting in rooms was soiled as well as furniture . The free breakfast was a choice of 2 cereals , coffee and juice.

Rooms were clean enough. The "breakfast" was laughable. Overall the place is dated and could use some updating. The hottub was not functioning. Staff were courteous and helpful.

Was once again disappointed that there hot was down. 3rd time staying here that was not working. A big reason why i booked here so i could enjoy sitting in hot tub after my 12 hr shifts at the job. Everything else was pretty good. Found out 1 side of bed was more comfortable then the other.

Make sure that if you get a good rate on Expedia that you pay before you get there. They charged us a different rate than what the Expedia total was and wouldn't adjust it accordingly. Also, there are no local channels to watch on their tv.

We were upgraded to poolside room. It was really quiet & the room was clean. The patio door was dirty, the blinds in office were dirty, the lights outside facing the sign were off so at night hard to find hotel, hot tub was not working.

The room smelled like a smoker had been there in the past or some odd-smelling cleaning solution was used for cleaning. The queen-sized beds promised were really double or standard-sized beds. The mattresses were very soft and seemed cheap and old. The room seemed dated for the premium price that was charged for it. I know there's not a lot of competition in Waupaca, WI for motel rooms, but this room was definitely not worth the price I paid. We won't be staying here again. This motel didn't live up to the Econolodge brand name!

Do not stay here! Felt like the people doing drugs in area were checking out our vehicle on what to steal while parking. Whole area reeked of marijuana. Room was DIRTY. Bed linens disgusting. My son said he would rather sleep in truck at truck stop. I was surprised staff gave us money back, because we did not stay after paying, seeing the room, and deciding to stay somewhere else.

Solid 4/10 no wiggle room. First, the best part about this place is the hard working son behind the desk. He is friendly and a good translator. Also, cool pool table. Next, every inch of this place needs to be scrubbed and re-scrubbed until it’s natural displeasing odor is gone for good. People staying in a new place want it to be clean and smelling good. The bedding needs to be replaced, the mattresses need to be updated, and the tile in the bathroom needs to be whitened. Lastly, I am CERTAIN, there are drug lords living at this property, specifically the upstairs of the 200-block rooms. I was going to inform the police, but I needed more evidence and didn’t have the appropriate amount of time. Seize them! Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again unless it has a massive update that improves the quality of the place. Thank you.

We stayed at the Econo Lodge in Waupaca WI for 2 nites, June 16 and 17. The Expedia itinerary number is 72572912022843. Expedia sent a confirmation stating that the price would be $108 per night. When we went to check in, the hotel informed us that the total was 291.83, or about 145.92 per night!!! They wouldn't give us the Expedia price, even tho we showed them our itinerary. We've booked quite a few times with Expedia in the past and never had that problem before. But the hotel clerk wouldn't budge. He said, "That's what it is!" So we had to pay it. We feel that the hotel owes us a refund for the difference in price.
