What is a economy hotel?

An economy hotel is one with limited amenities at a lower average price per night. Examples of American hotel chains that fit in this category include Motel 6, Red Roof Inn, Super 8, Econo Lodge, Days Inn, and America's Best Value Inn. Amenities vary based on chain and even location. Some offer free Cable Television, local phone calls, swimming pool, and some offer a free continental breakfast.

As mostly franchised operations the consistency and quality of economy hotels can vary widely. Hotel reviews should be consulted to determine if a hotel meets a potential customer's needs.
