Do not let the nice pictures fool you! We reserved a room thinking it would be a nice enough place for a cheap price. There were homeless people EVERYWHERE at the property. You expect some being in the location that it is, but this was more than expected and it made you feel uneasy that your car was going to get broken into or even your room. Then we get checked into our room....the toilet was broken (had to go to Burger King next door to use the restroom), there were burn marks in the carpet, stains on the sheets, no remote for the TV and no way to turn it on otherwise. The air conditioning unit was ungodly loud and didnt do anything to cool the room down. There was a horrible smell in the room and even leaving the door open, we could not get it out. The ONLY good thing about this stay was the woman working the front counter. I spoke to her about the concerns with our room after a trip to Burger King in order to use the restroom and asked only for our second night to be refunded, as we can't stay in a room that has no working toilet. She was understanding and courteous. She never gave an attitude, she never made me feel like i was complaining over nothing, she was amazing. I know i wouldnt have gotten the same response if it was one of the other employees working there. You expect to compromise on some things when you get a cheaper hotel room. There are just some things that I cannot compromise on and a working bathroom is one of those things.

I booked a room with a king sized bed but none were available. They advertise a continental breakfast but there is no breakfast. I've stayed down the street but this place is much worse for road noise. The room was clean and had plenty of hot water in the shower. The wireless was a little slow but adequate.

If I could give zero stars that is how I would rate this place.The room we were give was dirty, had to have the night manager bring clean sheets, bedspread( which was very thin), and take several stained pillows. The bathroom and sink were not cleaned either. There was also a missing towel, washcloth, and the shampoo was open and half empty. Along with that, there were many homeless, living on and next to the motel. There was drug paraphernalia on and by the property which was a hazard to my family and pets. This is one of the worst places we have stayed in and definitely will not be back. It is unbelievable that the manager and their staff are not ashamed of how this motel look and is kept. This will also be sent to Econo Lodge Headquarters.

Drugs and alcohol all around the property. The rooms smelled of pee and the floors didn’t get cleaned at all. Asked for a refund as soon as I took one look at the room and still haven’t received it. Staff were not friendly at all. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

They wouldn’t let us check in to the property, worker at the front desk refused to let us speak to the manager so we could actually check into the room and then after not letting us check in, they charged us a $75 fee for not checking in. Avoid this place.

We stayed in room 105. When we got there after a 13 hour drive, went to get ice and was told the ice machine didn’t work. Went back to the room, There was a lot of mold on the shower curtain, bathtub wall and ceiling. The bath tub looked like someone very dirty took a bath, drain the water, and never even rinsed the dirt and grime down the drain. It was rather disgusting. I drop my glasses behind the night stand. When I pulled it out, it had not been cleaned for some time. There is a personal ID card laying there as well. I left it there. There is no excuse for the condition of the bath room. No way could my wife or I consider taking a shower there. We will never be back!

Nasty moldy dirty Smokey

Woman at the front desk was nice but 1. Room was definitely not nonsmoking. It reeked of smoke. There was a serious mold problem in the corner. Water was dripping from the ceiling. The carpet was was nasty dirty. Walking barefoot left muddy foot prints when I stepped in the tub. A "Pet Friendly" hotel but the grassy area for the dogs was full of garbage. Neither the Hotel or Hotels.com would give a rfund (despite the "Good" rating)
