The room was adequate for our needs, especially the parking as we were in a truck with a 16' trailer.

It was good for the price. Very old motel room had been updated a bit ago. Clean but terrible lighting in evening. Nice and quiet. Pretty comfortable bed. Great service as I was cold and staff immediately brought me a nice comfy warm quilt. Very sparse breakfast but we didn’t care.
8.0
There was a nice restaurant there but the continental breakfast was poor. Plumbing needs work and the room heater was noisy and couldn’t be adjusted.

The room had only been partially cleaned. The bath tub was filthy with a ring around it; there was toothpaste on the side of the sink base. Disgusting!!!

The room smelled clean but there were spider webs, spiders, and roach like bugs in the corners, bathroom, and on the beds. Two out of four lamps/outlets did not work. The fridge smelled of mold. The property was run down and people were cooking/living in the parking lot. Awful, flat pillows.

Check in guy was terrible. After being told of a 13 hour drive at 8pm all he’d offer was cancellation of my reservation due to internet not working. He didn’t see it as a big deal. Also the ac was set to 60…outside temps were mid fifties…cold….set the heater to 68 and still took 30 minutes to warm up. The room was clean and adequate.

Less than what I had expected. Key cards were a big problem trying to get into room as well as trying to get into the building from outside. Building seemed to be in ill repair & lacking in maintenance.

This place didn't look wonderful but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The shower was great also. I appreciate the refrigerator in the room. Breakfast was cereal, toast, English muffins and 2 apples. That was great for us, breakfast is always a bonus. I would atay again.

It was filthy when we got in the room the sheets were dirty and the door of the room was not shutting the hinges were not good you had to lift it to close it. Dead bug in the window shelf and not a pleasant experience specially if you are with family:(

It wasn’t obvious where the lobby was. We drove around to the back and they were pumping their gray water from laundry into the parking lot. Very run down. Carpet was stinky and full of stains in the hallway. We tried to get a different hotel but it was over $200, so we went back to Econo Lodge. Never again.
1.0
Bad place to stay. Breakfast was cereal & bread. The place reeked of smoke, found bugs (thank heaven not bed bugs) in the room, the bath tub would not hold water, sink was cracked, cobwebs in the window, screen was falling off, there was no
WI-FI, housekeeping around the facility was terrible. OK in the room. Walls are thin. People who have given this facility 10/10 must have stayed in a different place.

Lightning in parking lot very dark. Bathroom light was the worst I have ever seen, could barely see in room. Main hotel door looked broke and no security lock. Breakfast bar was a joke, bread to toast and cereal only. Would never stay here again.

The bathroom light was a bit wanky to turn on. The door to the room was also wanky and would not recognize the card all the time.

When we opened our room door, the room had NOT been cleaned. Beds used. Food all around. Garbage all around it was like we walked in on someone elses room. Made us nervous that someone was still in there. Alone with my 10 yr old grandaughter. Long walk back to registration. Got a new room. Very dirty and smelly. Bed was comfy though.

Pay the extra few bucks and stay someplace better. The room was dirty. There was what i was hoping was salt or sugar in the drawer. The floor was sticky. The shower faucet was cracked. And the pillows were hard as a rock.

We had two beds and couldn’t even use one because there was dirty and hair in it, the next morning there was an ant on it. There was dried food on the floor. The guy working that night took him over ten minutes to come to the desk when he was just in the back. Could only give us one extra towel because “that’s all they had” also getting out to go in the room was ankle deep with water, and the back door didn’t latch so god knows who could go it. The only decent thing in the four hours we was there was the next morning when the manager approved my refund ! Definitely wouldn’t recommend!
