Horrible hotel

We were in town for a football game. The room charge was way overpriced at $350 for one night. The room was horrible and the bathroom was dirty. Needless to say, we got a refund and went to a different hotel.

Worse experience ever

Terrible. Room was dirty, bed spread was stained and had burn holes in bed spread. Walls had cut out wall missing. Bathroom baseboards were dirty bathtub had rust stains, and a crack in floor of tub.

Had I not been with 3 grown men I would have stayed in my own vehicle. Very nasty and rude staff. It’s the worst motel I have stayed in. And will be leaving reviews in places more people can see

It was your average Econo Lodge. If you're in a bind, it works. This one is older, a little run-down (no lampshades, leaky a/c) with questionable stains (floor, bed cover, furniture) but I had to remind myself it's the Econo Lodge. I didn't feel unsafe and the towels seemed clean and the water was hot but it definitely could use a makeover.

Econo Lodge Stay

I was a little dissapointed in the condition of the room. It was clean, but old looking. The wash cloths were stained and there wasn't a hair dryer nor an iron in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Probably the best sleep I've ever had in a hotel.

When we first checked in, I called the front desk and asked for towels. Four hours later I had to call and ask again, and she told me to come to the front desk to get them. When we got back to our room after the football game, our room smelled like weed. We were expecting the pool to be open. The only light that worked in our room was a lamp with no shade. We had to move it to the sink to be able to use the mirror. The toilet ran constantly. The fridge did not cool. I put money in the drink machine and the drink dropped, but the door was jammed and I wasn’t able to get my drink out of the machine.

Great service. Not great room.

Room was non smoking but smelt like smoke and all the bed linens had cigarette holes in them and discoloration. Towels were discolored. Was an accessible room and I almost slipped on the flooring multiple times just wearing socks. Bathroom had hair and dead beds all over the floor, counter, and shower floor. Appliances in the room were discolored and dirty and looked like they would start an electrical fire. Zero plugs to charge a phone except in the bathroom were free for use. Could not get comfortable and was afraid to sleep in the covers. Parking lot stayed well lit however many cars came in and out throughout the night where guests and non guests just lingered in the lot chatting. Felt very unsafe. Staff however were very friendly both in the evening and in the morning and I wish the room reflected the same.
