Great for the price

For the price, it’s really not bad at all. Nothing fancy, but it is clean. It kind of has that old house smell (just a little bit) because it is a little dated. I would stay here again.

Was not impressed with the property what so ever. There was urine puddles in the stairwell along with cigarette burns in all our blankets. Garbage and debris everywhere throughout the property. Gentlemen in the room next to ours was continuously smoking weed making our room smell as well as the walk way. Staff left a half bottle of shampoo on the counter. Reminded me more of a crack hotel than an Econolodge. Very disappointed.
