Everyone we interacted was friendly and helpful! The condition of the motel wasn’t… the greatest, a lot of it looked run down. The room we stayed in had some type of brown splatter? on one of the doors and brown and white splatter on the wall next to our sink. We were missing a light bulb in one of our lamps and one bed was extremely squeaky every time you moved. Probably wouldn’t want to stay here again, but was thankful we found somewhere close to what we were doing. Again the staff was very friendly!

The front desk staff were very helpful and nice; however, the building, rooms and grounds need significant work. The breakfast was extremely limited, the pool was filled in and the lights around the property did not all have bulbs. Grounds are bare or littered with weeds. The price was way out of line for this property.

Now, after having stayed at Econo Lodge Garner NC, I would not ever stay there again, because there are other hotels - notably Wingate by Wyndham - which are very close by to the Econo Lodge, but much nicer. Econo Lodge was clean enough but clearly really old, and the A/C unit was the loudest I've EVER heard in any hotel. The breakfast was, seriously, a joke: Twinkies? Please. I was in Garner for a visit with family in Raleigh, and the last time there, I stayed at an eclectic independent hotel, The Longleaf, which was very nice but very overpriced, in my opinion. So this time I purposely looked for hotels a bit farther from the downtown Raleigh area where my family lives. My sister and my nephew both expressed concern about the environment around the Econo Lodge, and strongly hinted I should choose some other hotel, whether in Garner or close by, that is better and feels safer. Now I know I could get the Wingate there for not much more per night, definitely will look at that next time.
