It’s unfortunate that I have to rate this hotel so low. The location is nearly perfect and the staff were nice and helpful (when they were around). I had to switch rooms on my second night because there were way too many issues. The AC decided to stop working my second night (it was 95). My second bed would loudly squeak at any movement. The fridge would have to be set to max on ‘cool’ just to work and it would hum very loudly. The toilet wouldn’t flush correctly. Way too many issues to have for a couple nights. The staff were very accommodating and gave me and my partner a second room with a working AC. That worked fine until everything else didn’t. The toilet didn’t work properly *again*, the fridge would leak water, and it seems some plumbing issue caused black (hair?) soot to come into our sink in the morning. The breakfast they advertised is nothing more than bagels, cereal, and English muffins…that’s it. The juice machine would never be filled and water would come out. The coffee had nothing to add but sugar and half and half. They had a waffle machine that was taken apart. I guess some food is better than nothing, but *everybody* was more than disappointed. Thankfully the staff member on check in told me how little they had so I could get breakfast elsewhere. The vending machine was out of order. Ice machine you’re told to ‘not fill coolers.’ The pool would overflow and be too small. Just a terrible experience.

I am usually not one to complain, but I must. My daughter and I stayed at the Econo Lodge in Hot Springs on our way home from Wyoming to Minnesota. The room was filthy. The base of the toilet was covered with urine, hair and pubes. The deadbolt on the door didn't work and we had to push the door very hard to even get it to lock. One of the towels was stained with yellow and it looked like there was urine on the wall. I doubt I will ever stay at another Econo Lodge.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool is actually smaller than it seems in pictures, you can't swim in it. Breakfast was pretty sad, just cold cereal, plain bagels, and oatmeal packets. No juice. No fruit. No muffins. Looks like they had a waffle maker and juice machine, but they were broken. Someone left the side door open and the entry way was filled with hundreds if not thousands of dead moths in the morning. Our room only had a portable AC unit, and it was 90+ degrees in Hot Springs when we were there. Room temp never got below 79. Quite toasty.

Property needs some maintenance (ice machine, guest laundry,etc). There was a shortage of towels which is not appropriate at all. Jake the front desk guy was fantastic. Great attitude and guest service too

3 day stay for three people, only received two towel set up each day and had to ask; not enough staff but the two we did meet (check-in & maid were very nice); quiet, convenient location, our room was fairly clean except for a DQ shake left behind TV; stayed there couple years ago & was under renovation then and still but pricing is reasonable.

Room was not very clean. Tons of spackle everywhere. Bed was very old and very creak. Hallways smelled like diapers. Staff was friendly but not there at check in or check out maybe not enough staff. The fan in the bathroom sounded like a roaring jet taking off and gave us a headache.

We had an awful stay at the hotel. The bathroom was dirty, hair in the bathtub. Fridge was smelly. The latch on the door was broken so we couldn’t lock ourselves inside. Would definitely stay away!
