This high-value sweepstakes shines a light on Econo Lodge's great value. Whether your "Travelin' Tunes" taste runs "Life Is A Highway" or "Take Me Home Country Roads," the brand welcomes with inviting rooms, affordable rates and cost-saving amenities, including free continental breakfast and Wi-FI. Located in top destinations across North America, the hotels are a great fit for road trips, and no car trip is complete without your favorite sounds.

Econo Lodge's sweepstakes is in tune with the times. Nearly three quarters (74 percent) of leisure travelers took their cars on road trips last year*. This summer, new airline fees for food, baggage and even pets plus relatively low gas prices - about a dollar per gallon less than last summer - have people hitting the road again for affordable vacations that are closer to home.
