Please update

I had my two children, we left for food and came back to a noise complaint. The clerk threatened to call the cops if we didn’t keep the kids tamed was her words. The ceiling was falling in. The paint was chipping off all the walls. I didn’t even want my kids walking around, let alone not tamed. Mold was in the bathroom. I would not ever stay again.

This econo lodge was labeled “pet friendly.” However, no additional charge per pet was mentioned in the advertisement. Be forthright if you’re going to charge a fee. I was very surprised that an additional charge of $20 was added on. I would like a refund for $20 because that fee was hidden. I would have gladly payed it if this fee was clearly stated.

Will not stay here again.

Front desk associate was very nice and friendly. Hotel room smelled bad, small tv, remote didn’t work, dingy, air vent in bathroom was hanging, and wasn’t the cleanest. And the main door had a gap at the bottom.

Upon first impressions with the staff when checking in, they were extreme nice and welcoming. The room, had it issues. I first noticed that the light in the bathroom turned on after flipping the switch about 7-8 time (on average). One of the lamps didn't have a bulb in it, base board around air conditioning unit was pulling away from the wall, TV failed to connect to the hotel wifi limiting watch options. A couple of the hand towels where clearly passed the use date. They were noticeably dingy in colors and needed to meet the trash.
