Outlet exploded...

The first night, plugged a charger into the outlet and sparks flew. Burned up my charger and the lights quit working and phone wouldn't work. Went to the front office and was kept being told "Everything is fine". No, it's not fine. The outlet literally exploded. Had to ask for a different room. Was given a new charging block to replace the one that was burned. The 2nd room had no phone and no smoke detector. Truth of it, the first one probably didn't have one either.

The room is very dirty and shabby. The bath tub has black mold all around the seal, and leaking. There is no any towels, shampoo/conditioner provided. For Morning breakfast, waffles dispenser does not work functionally. Milk was stored at refrigerator which the door could not close properly, Who knows the milk is good or bad. Anyway, stay away from Econolodge chain motel. You can pay the similar price for much better motel. Very very disappointment!!!

Very friendly front desk clerk working night shift.He moved me to a first floor room which I forgot to ask for during the reservation. Rooms are very dated and not super clean but for a place to just shower and sleep it was a get what you pay for place for sure, looks nothing like the photos shown online .

Yikes

You get what you pay for. Spent one night for a ball tournament. The nice man at the desk was helpful and personable. First impression of the property alone was not great but hey, there's a waffle house attached to it. We don't plan on eating the free breakfast here. Our room and I assume it's probably every room smelled musty or of old smoke. Whatever that unwelcoming stank is. Glad I brought a space fan, room spray, and turned on the air conditioner while we were at the ball field day 1. It smelled a bit better when we got back. This place needs a serious deep clean. Bathroom door had months of nasty splatters on it. GROSS! Everything is just very old. Hot water to wash my face but would never drink it. None of us would consider taking a shower and I had to clean the toilet seat. Beds are ancient and not soft. Sheets were clean I guess. There's good bright lights on the parking lot so that's a positive but made me think what kind of crazy is going on here to invest in that expense instead of upkeep. Single mom traveling with two young boys and extremely grateful it was quiet because we were very worried but we stuck it out for one night. We stayed at the front of the property but I imagine other rooms towards the back could get rowdy. Bottom line, pay double if you can afford a better hotel. But if you can't, we did it and so can you if you need to. Personally, wouldn't stay again. The bar for an economy stay is low so your expectations should be too. Good luck.

Room was nice. However, the bathroom needs updated and the walls cleaned. There were stains on the walls where people rubbed feces from their hands, etc making it nasty! Also the breakfast they offered was next to nothing. When my husband went to get orange juice, it was water. Same for the apple juice. We ended up going to the store next door and purchasing coffee and juice.

TERRIBLE HOTEL

This place was absolutely disgusting. Looked decent in pictures, but don’t be fooled. Ended up having to get a different hotel because it was unfit to stay in and weren’t even able to get our money back. When we arrived they said the previous occupants of our room had been making “potions” and it smelled so bad they had to leave the door to the room open overnight to air it out. Like….WHAT?! Also looked like blood ALL over the floor…. Absolutely DO NOT stay at this place.

The staff was really nice but the rooms were dirty. Black mold is growing around the tubs. The shower curtain was disgustingly dirty. I didn’t shower. The walls are very dirty. It needs a major cleaning and painting. Thank goodness there wasn’t carpet. Also, there were no light bulbs in the lamps. Not a great stay, but again, staff was nice.
