OLD, rundown and dirty! Watch out!

This hotel is so run down and not maintained. The check was very busy and every person including myself had to come back to the lobby at least twice to get their room keys to work correctly. it made for a very long check in process. Some of the photos below show how the property owners ignore regular maintenance and how run down the building is. The sheets had stains on them the main door to the room when closed has a one inch gap at the top. The bathroom door would close it hit the floor. their were cigarette burns on the sink and tub.The room had a musty smell, the floor was dirty in the room. The out side railings from the lobby to the parking lot are rusted out on the bottom and falling apart. I could go on and on. Bottom line i didn't feel safe staying at this hotel. For the $156 charge for one night they should have paid me to stay there. Never again.
Dirty old room phone not hooked up
tv remote missing battery cover
main room door gap at the top lets air noise and light in from the hallway.
bath door doesn't close

Got a room 139, the battery of the door lock was dead so we couldn’t get in. Got room 152 - the battery worked but the lock inside was put on so we again couldn’t get in. Finally got room 123 right by the lobby. The front desk agent John who also does maintenance and housekeeping was very nice. The property is old and needs a flip or a facelift. The room was somewhat clean but not spotless. The bathroom had either broken and outdated details or was dirty - one of the nastiest toilets i’ve ever seen. The beds were comfortable but the sheets, pillows and towels are garbage. The owner of this joint should spend a night at that room and place a review.

The staff was friendly and apologetic. The room itself was ok but the bed sheets were dirty. Crumbs and hairs on the sheets. They did offer another room but it still wasn’t up to par. We had them replaced the bedding in our original room. The door to our room didn’t close properly you had to really pull and check to make sure it was locked.

It was unfortunate that poor planning for the Corvette show in Carlisle that most of the area motels were booked. We stayed in room 205 a non smoking room. We were totally disgusted with the room condition. Not only was the room filthy, Litter was present on the floor, burn marks were present around the perimeter of the sink as well as a burn hole in the bed cover. We believed the vacant electrical space on the upper wall was from the smoke detector being removed from guests smoking in the room. Mold was also present around the bottom of the door jams entering the bathroom which displayed yellow filth around tub and the toilet bowl entering the bathroom. The only sign of room service was the bed was remade with the same bedding and bath linens were resupplied. The sheets and burn holed blanket remained the same. Obtaining another hotel was not an option. Three days we observed the same litter on the floor and only the bed being remade. I'm not sure of the heath or safety codes of PA but I'm quite sure this Econo Lodge in Carlisle would fail immensely if code enforcement were to inspect it. Not an option and a warning to anyone considering the stay.
