So right off the bat to level set the expectations. This is needles California. It’s a pretty small partially abandoned town. The room was very clean. The staff was very polite. Check in was super easy. However, the neighborhood was questionable. I had to walk my dog at night, and frankly it was a little scary, because of some of the people wandering around and a couple of the abandoned buildings, the walls are pretty thin. I could hear couples on both sides of me. Definitely meant to sleep and then go no table no chair. All of that is actually not so bad for what you pay and what you should expect. The part I didn’t like was that only a few rooms were dog friendly, which means there’s always a chance that when you get there, they won’t let you check in with your dog if those rooms happen to be occupied There was no area at all to walk my dog. I had to leave themotel grounds. And the floor was, warped and lifting where other dogs had peed so often.

There was no hot water. We complained that night, we were told to keep running the water, nothing. Same thing in the morning. It was obvious the plumbing was shot. And the sink faucet was prevented from turning to hot water. There was a quarter roll of toilet paper. That’s it. What a dump.

Charming, recently updated rooms. Easy checkin. Super clean. Comfortable bed. We did not make use of the refrigerator or microwave in the room, but a definite nice to have. Plenty of towels, soap, and shampoo in the bathroom. Would stay here again and highly recommend. Oh, and a light breakfast is included which we did not sample, but again, a very nice to have.

Definitely did not look like the pictures online. Hotel room was cramped (but the closet, ironically, was HUGE). Breakfast was not good. Towels old. Clean but no style or personality (walls white with no art, overhead light no lamps). Located in industrial part of city. Front desk clerk (who also doubled as housekeeper) was very, very pleasant. Overall clean, beds OK, TV small, no frills at all and just dated and sad looking.

Route 66 trip
I booked the room as a part of a Route 66 trip. The staff here were very friendly. I got in later than I expected but they seemed unphased by my after-dark arrival. Room was overall clean. Shower looked recently remodeled. Parts of Needles are a little rough looking but the area around the Econo Lodge was not.

Very close to Amtrak station. Went to Needles to visit grave of recently deceased friend. Manager was very helpful and nice. AC in room did not work right. Had to prop windows open with shampoo bottles. Ceiling lights were harsh 5700k work lights not 2500k reddish living room lamps. Felt like I was in a garage all night. No hangers in closet and no dollar store nearby to buy any.

This is a great place to stay if traveling from Arizona into California! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location is convenient. The difference in gas prices in California are considerably higher than Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If you stay here, you can cross the border to get the considerably cheaper gas both during your stay and upon your departure! Something small, but nice nonetheless!

Fine folks and safe place
I really like all the people that run this place. They do extra for people. They always have a coffee pot with snacks and cereal ready in The morning at 730, even though there is plenty of coffee in the room. It is a very mellow and safe place in Needles too. There is a nice ice machine outside too.

Do yourself a favor and don't stay in Needles. Keep driving. The econo lodge was as budget as they come, so I wasn't expecting much. But the stains on the coverlets and the shower leaking into the wall was pretty bad.

Clean & friendly oasis
I would like to say that this was one of the cleanest rooms that I stayed on my cross country road trip from California to Illinois. The room was not only inviting but a quiet place to get some needed rest. The cooling unit worked very well & kept me cool all night despite the desert heat. The staff was very friendly & went the extra mile to make sure that my stay was the best it could be. The Hotels.com app crashed when I was booking the room so I booked the room again because I never got a confirmation on the first booking when the app crashed. The friendly young lady at the front desk told me to call Hotels.com when she noticed my double booking & that I was the only guest. I called Hotels.com customer service & together with the help of the front desk attendant they were able to cancel & refund me for the accidental double booking. Shout out to the nice & beautiful lady at the front desk as she was able to that extra mile. Thank you!

I am sure other rooms are nicer but the one next to the ice machine better to be avoided. Walls are in bad condition, the towels were damp and filthy even the extra ones we asked for after complaining. The bed sheet had blood stain on and the bed cover had grease mark on it. The bathroom was flooded quickly after opening the tap. And we couldn't get another room but we were too tired to leave. We stayed but I couldn't get a minute of sleep as i could rest in these conditions.
