The facility is in poor condition. The manager did not feel comfortable with giving us rooms on the second/third floor due to the elevator in poor working condition. The facility was probably new in the 1970's. He gave us a first floor room with an outside entrance. Which turned out to be a blessing because the fire alarms went off at 2:30 a.m. due to someone smoking in their room under the smoke detectors. We had to exit the room and wait for the firefighters to clear the area before we could return to our rooms. Guests were all patient but it was quite the challenge being jolted awake with the extremely loud fire alarm. Breakfast was VERY limited. Cereal and a prepackaged danish. ONLY if this is the last resort would I recommend anyone to stay here.

Pictures did not accurately show property. Could not get clean towels and beds were not made up. Room type was not what I booked. Bath room real small. Air didn't work properly. Room either to hot or too cold. Problems with elevator. Management claim service was to be done but didn't help with our stay. Pictures showed pool and hot tub but hot tub has been removed.

Pictures are deceiving. This place is filthy and in need of some major renovation. They do not properly clean there room and the lien is old. The walls are as thin as paper and you can hear all of your neighbors even across the hall. Not safe at all, anybody can walk in thru the side doors and the parking lot is disgusting. Please stay away from this place, especially if you have kids. The staff were very nice bu this place needs a complete gut renovation.. RUN!!

The room we paid for on lines pictures were not what we received. Upon arriving, had to pay extra fifty dollars deposit. Out of all the hotels that we have been to, this was the only hotel to ask for a deposit that took us out of our budget. The plus side was that the room was clean. Breakfast was ok. Would not stay here again nor would I recommend it to anyone.

When we first pulled into the hotel parking lot, there was a fire truck with lights on in front of the hotel. Right then and there we should’ve know this would not go well. Upon checking in, the process went well other than the gentleman checking us in kept pestering us to change rooms for $5. We refused and proceeded to check in to our room. When we got to our room, we immediately seen stains on the bed, garbage on the floor and just a god awful stench emanating from the room. We were there for maybe 3-5 minutes and knew we had to leave. I will never stay at an Econo Lodge ever again.

There was no blanket on the bed to use, and the “continental” breakfast they offer is literally frozen eggo waffles or cereal but the milk for the cereal was on the counter for who knows how long so I didn’t risk using it.

Motel is rather run down and dingy. Clientele seemed a bit sketchy. That said, it seems family owned and the desk staff were very nice and helpful. They seem like they are trying, for example by providing packaged breakfast foods, and a microwave and fridge in room, but just are limited by the building being in not great condition.
