The familiar motel that sits at 709 West Springfield Road has a name change. The 29 West Motel has changed its name to Economy Inn. Nick and Kathy Patel, who have owned the Inn for the last 29 years, haven’t changed anything except for the sign, and still promise great service and a place to stay.

The December storm, followed by a rough spring, destroyed what was left of the sign, and Nick felt that now would be a great time to change the color and add a new sign, that way you can see it at night in order to help business.  For more information, on the Economy Inn, call Nick or Kathy at 217-824-2216.
