Econo Lodge

We recently stayed a night at the Econo Lodge in Newport. It’s a no frills motel so you’re not going to get many extras, but the location is excellent with the beach being an easy walk away. The room was clean and has been updated. We even had a nice view of the ocean which was not expected. The service was outstanding. We will definitely consider the Econo Lodge when we need a night or two in Newport.

We travel less than 100 miles today as we frquently stopped sight seeing the beauty of Oregon's Coast . We called ahead for our room and arrived before 6:00 pm and Jan went out to a local grocery store to grab some food to heat up in the microwave. The room was very clean and a comfortable bed. My back was relieved of pain and my asthsma was cleared. I had suffered with both for a number of days from my time on humid Vancouver Island. There was no breakfast set out at the motel so we had hot cereal and decaf coffee in our room before checking out.

I booked a 2 queen room. On check in I told the clerk I had a medical alert service dog. After looking he found a 2 queen room on the third floor, but then said he would have to cancel my reservation. This was because the third floor was supposedly set aside for hypoallergenic people. There was no mention of this in the reservation. After a long discussion he said there was nothing he could do. This was at 7:00 in the evening. Never had this happen before. My service dog was trained by Early Alert Canines for 6 months to alert on low blood sugar, after he failed Guide Dogs for the Blind training. EAC trained me for two weeks on how to use and take care of him; he is a true service dog. He is faster and more accurate for low blood sugar alerts than my Dexcom glucose monitor. Very disappointed in this Econo lodge motel.
