Econo Lodge Hannibal

Pros: The staff were the best part of the stay here. They were very helpful and friendly. Shower had plenty of hot water. Fridge stayed cold. A/C unit although old, kept the room cool in 100 degree summer weather. With that said, the rest falls under you get what you pay for. Cons: The room was worn out and outdated- old stained carpet, soot covered ceiling, peeling wallpaper, caked on dust on clothing rack and luggage valet, dirty mirrors, broken sink faucet handles, poor misc. amateurish repairs throughout, bed cover had cigar burns, uncomfortable bed (I think the mattress was just bare springs covered with thick blankets and a sheet, very lumpy and could feel springs poking through), cockroaches, steady stream of noise from trucks rolling by outside. In the room I stayed in - missing a desk/work area/table, not nearly enough power outlets, very poor internet reception (not managed by hotel), and a shower head no higher than 5 feet from tub floor. The photos shown on the site were highly inaccurate representation of actual room conditions. Without exaggeration I suspect they were taken at least 15 years ago and photos edited to remove surroundings and touch ups. In summary, the place has seen better days but if you're not squeamish and just looking for a place to crash for a night or two, the price is OK. Would not stay here again unless major renovations were made to repair and clean up the rooms.

Our non smoking room smelled like the inside of an ashtray and was run down to say the least. In the middle of the night I discovered a LARGE roach in the bathroom which I caught and took to the desk in the morning after staying awake all night wondering what else might be in this room. I was told Oh, just a waterbug we sprayed 2 weeks ago and he should be dead. Sure looked like a cockroach to me! The parking is almost on top of a very busy street and entrance ramp to a highway so this place is anything but quiet. In fact in order to backout of our parking place we had about the width of one lane of traffic to the street with nothing between us and the busy traffic. I have never written a bad revue but this place truely deserves one.

The Econo Lodge in Hannibal has an excellent staff. They were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean. If you are looking for a luxury hotel with pool, dining, etc., then this is not for you. But, if you are looking for a clean, economical, family-friendly hotel, then I would recommend it to you. There are many eating places, shopping, etc. close by and it is not far from downtown Hannibal, which is a historic scenic place to visit. Our room was a senior room and has the largest bathroom I have ever seen in a hotel--it was great!
