Econo Lodge Vero Beach - Downtown

We stayed there because it was close to the Heritage Center in downtown, where we attended a karate tournament (7 minutes away). The room was great. It had one of the best beds that we have ever slept on. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The $100 damage deposit was a bit of a shocker, but it is understandable in these times and was handled well by the staff. I had to use a $100 bill from my wallet stash, & they gave me back the exact same $100 bill I used, as agreed on. The breakfast could have used a little more variety, like yogurt, but it was adequate for getting going quickly. The cinnamon breakfast bar was absolutely addictive. One plus is that a Chili's Restaurant is only a few steps away. One hint: if you are leaving for the turnpike, don't take the directions that take you on U.S. 1. Go to State Road 60, then to the turnpike. The U. S, 1 route turns into a poorly maintained farm road. Another hint is that, unless you have earplugs, don't take a room near the huge generator. Overall we enjoyed our stay there and will be back again.

Room was not clean and sheets had multiple stains, but when called, they came to check it out and fix immediately. The provided breakfast was cereal and packaged donuts and coffee was empty and never refilled two days in a row. It was affordable and near many attractions in Vero. I would probably not stay again.
