The Economy Inn is one of several 1950s-era motels along Interstate Avenue that are still in business. Like most of them, it has had renovations in relatively recent history, and is reasonably clean and comfortable. It is right on the light rail line, so its easy to get places without a car. The parking lot is just big enough to accommodate all patrons, as long as they aren't driving a large motor home or other outsize vehicle. There are quite a few restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, etc., within easy walking distance (the vibrant Mississippi Street neighborhood is a 15-minute walk away, via the Failing Bridge pedestrian/bike crossing over I-5). Our room had a very comfortable king bed. The bathroom only had a shower, which wasn't an issue for us, but might be for some people. There was no hair dryer, which would have been a welcome addition. It was pretty quiet, even on a Friday night.
