The check in area had a stained, worn sofa for new customers to sit on. The walls in our room has areas that were unpainted down to the drywall. 3 light bulbs above mirror were out. The kleenex holder was dirty, rusty and empty. The window sill was chipped and peeling. In the parking lot on the upper level where we entered to our room, there was a large area of trash and discarded mattresses in open view of everyone who parked in that lot. Biggest mistake I made in staying at this Econolodge hotel!

Ew…

The room itself was ok enough for one night. The pillowcases looked old and dingy. The beds were comfortable enough. The bathroom was awful though! I’m so glad I didn’t have little kids that needed a bath. It was gross enough for a shower (only the boys braved that one). The toilet is the size of those little toddler toilets at the library. I was going to give it a 6 until we went to breakfast this morning. There’s only one guy working at the hotel, so he “made” the breakfast. It would appear that he scrambled one pan of eggs (in the disgusting pan in the horrifying kitchen both shown in the pictures.) Although breakfast didn’t close until 9:30, the one pan of scrambled eggs was pretty much gone by 8. Other than that, they had cereal, a couple of loaves os break just chucked in a basket, and yogurt. The whole place was too nasty to even stay and eat in. We decided to forego breakfast and have Kind bars on the road.

Room was filthy, toilet obviously not cleaned from last occupancy. Large hole in walls, T-stat cover and towel rack missing, nasty smell in room and adjacent hallway. 4 of 6 light bulbs above vanity burned out, moldy grout joints and shower curtain in hallway, loose change and a dirty sock under side chair from previous occupancy. The continental breakfast was dismal at best, toaster and kitchen were filthy. It was so bad we left a day early and ate the cost of a new hotel room. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother staying here.

I wasn't expecting a 5 star Hotel. For the price i paid per night. The only thing that seemed clean was the bedding and towels. The room had stuff running down the walls. There was trash left on the floors. Housekeeping was only there 1 day out of the 5 we were there. The man at the front desk was nice. He made the eggs each day for breakfast. There was only scrambled eggs, sausage links, and cereal for breakfast. That was fine. The whole building was dirty. Just trashy looking. There was no lock on back door, There were also some people who would stand or sit by the door and smoke. Not just cigarettes. They would sit and discuss their drugs of choice during breakfast or outside the door. Our rooms lock didn't work. We had to use our metal bar as a lock. Just didn't feel safe. Our room was quiet. We had to open the window because the ac unit didn't work well and when it did it was stinky. The filters were plugged with dirt.

This is a very cheap hotel, so I didn’t expect much. The room itself was actually nicer than I thought it would be—clean enough, comfy bed, mini fridge and microwave (bonus!). The rest of the hotel was…well, exactly what you’d expect at this price: a little run-down, a few things broken, and no breakfast despite the listing saying there was. Also, don’t count on cozy bedding—it’s basically two sheets, so bring your own blanket if you like being warm. The staff were very kind, though rarely at the desk. We only got one towel per person but could probably have asked for more. I didn’t see another guest my entire stay, which was a little eerie but also kind of peaceful. Being pet-friendly, it does have that “pet-friendly smell,” but not unbearable. Big perks: you can walk to McDonald’s, Casey’s, and Dollar Tree (all in the same parking lot), and it’s super close to the Cave State Park. Bottom line: if you want fancy, skip it. But if you’re a hiker who just wants a hot shower, a crash spot, and a cheap rate—you’ll be happy here. I’d definitely stay again when visiting the state park
