I checked out the same evening I checked in. I left and paid again for another hotel much cleaner and safer Losing my initial payment for this hotel. my room smelled of cigarettes, the bed sheets where dirty where I found hair on. I would like a refund for having to leave due to poor conditions. the door to the hallway had a shattered glass. my room was missing the door lock that secures the door from fully opening. it was unacceptable.

First off it was an econolodge so that was confusing. The first room we were put in was absolutely disgusting. They moved us to a “renovated” room and it was slightly better but when we went to lay down on the bed we saw cigarette burns on the sheets and a big blood stain. After that we left.

Room was clean like bed, bathroom, etc. But dead roaches found. No live ones. For the price it was somewhat on par. I've rated it accordingly. Front desk staff was friendly. Easy check in. Very sub par condition room. Very rough looking...again, for the price, it's about what you'd expect for a cheap room that isn't dirty.
