Overview
Econo Lodge Inn & Suites is a 2-star budget hotel in Montrose, Colorado, located at 1605 E Main St. Public ratings are limited (2/5 from 4 reviews), with feedback ranging from positive staff interactions to concerns about property condition and cleanliness.
Location
The hotel sits along East Main Street, a practical base for reaching both downtown Montrose points of interest and nearby outdoor destinations. The Montrose Visitor Center is about 1.5 km away, and local museums such as the Montrose County Historical Museum (~1.9 km) and Montrose Children’s Museum (~2.0 km) are close by. For nature-focused trips, it’s within driving distance of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (notably Painted Wall and Warner Point Trail in the 13–16 km range).
What’s Nearby
Within a few kilometers are several low-key local stops, including the Montrose Botanic Gardens (~2.7 km) and Montrose Water Sports Park (~3.0 km), plus parks like Riverbottom Park (~2.9 km) and Cerise Park (~2.6 km). The Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area is also nearby at roughly 3.3 km. Regional history attractions such as the Museum of the Mountain West (~4.3 km) and the Ute Indian Museum (~6.0 km) are also within easy reach by car.
Best for
This property can suit travelers who primarily want a low-cost base in Montrose with straightforward access to local parks, museums, and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison area. It may be most appropriate for flexible, short stays where location convenience matters more than on-site features, since amenities are not documented and reviews indicate mixed experiences.
Travel tips
Use the Montrose Visitor Center (~1.5 km) as a first stop for current road, trail, and seasonal information before heading to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (with viewpoints like Painted Wall roughly 15–17 km away). Plan to get around by car to reach the national park sites, the Gunnison Gorge area (~3.3 km), and museums spread across town. Given limited public reviews and mixed feedback, consider confirming room condition details directly with the property before arrival.
What guests say
The small set of reviews reflects sharply mixed experiences. Positive feedback highlights strong customer service. Negative comments focus on serious cleanliness concerns (including reports of bed bugs) and a sense that the property’s fixtures or setup are pieced together and not functioning well. Overall, guest sentiment suggests service can be a bright spot, while maintenance and cleanliness are recurring concerns.
