The price was more expensive than advertised. The room was the closet one to the main road way and was super noisy. The room was supposed to be a nonsmoking room yet smelt strongly of smoke.

The hotel itself is obviously a bit older so it shows some natural wear and tear, but despite that it was impeccably clean. There wasnt a single speck of dust or crumb anywhere in the room, the bed had multiple liners on it, and the mini fridge was clean. The bed was also really comfortable. Staff was friendly and professional. Even with the main road being right there, it's not super busy later in the evening and doesnt make much noise. The only issue we experienced was a couple having am argument on the staircase outside our room. They started at around midnight as they went up to their room and stayed out there for a good ten minutes. And then an hour later they left their room again and argued outside more. This isnt the fault of the hotel, theres nothing they can do to avoid customers being rude outside. Most hotels are a bit noisy. But them being outside basically in front of the rooms just made it seem louder, so that's something ro remember. Essentially though, you know what youre getting into. It's not pretending to be some new building with a million ammenities. It's a lodge that we're all going to to have a place to sleep and take a shower, and it does that very well and is very clean.

Well, there was a definitely lots of security in that parking lot from policeman across the street at the market. They had security guards with weapons. Everybody wanted a $10 cover charge just to walk in and get a drink. But that was the surroundings. Overall, the hotel was fine. The room was fine and the housekeeper was very courteous and nice to talk to.

The property mainly houses transients, so the exorbitant rate we were charged was targeted directly at FSU parents in Tallahassee for graduation. The open tables in the dirt area next to the stairs were consistently populated by homeless people who would yell obsenities at us as we came and went. The 'included breakfast' did have a coffee pot, but the pre-packaged pastries rack was always empty, even at 7:00am, with the response that prior guests had already taken the provided 'breakfast'. There were no coffee facilities in the rooms and the microwaves did not work, Our rooms were moldy with sagging ceilings, and the constant yelling from the homeless outside our door prevented any restful sleep. We were afraid to leave our car in the parking lot, so we parked in the shopping center across the street and walked in. There were two arrests at the hotel in the short time we were there. DO NOT STAY IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT. It was disgusting and terrifying.

Need painting outside, Concrete stairs need pressure cleaning as well as the side walks. Floors inside room needs to be sweep and moped, has bugs on floor. Could use new furniture to update the looks of the room. Not enough light to put on make-up properly. I always travel with my own lighting system for make up, but should not be necessary.

The room was perfectly fine, in fact I was surprised. The bed was really comfortable, the room was large, the bathroom was mostly good - very cheap fittings though. The AC temp was set to Florida frigid and you could only turn that on or off, not adjust it. Don't bother with the continental breakfast -if there's any left - though the coffee was fine. The reception area is dated. It can be noisy with cars blaring in the parking lot late at night. And it definitely felt sketchy. It should be a budget hotel but it was a busy weekend and it wasn't. The other Econolodge in Tallahassee is better.

Terrible Experience The service was awful. The staff barely spoke English and had noticeable body odor. The hallways constantly smelled like weed, and the entire place was dirty. The bathrooms were covered in soap scum, the sheets were stained, and the air conditioning didn’t cool the room properly. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Kind of crappy stay!

The microwave in room 126 was filthy and did not work. They moved me to room 124 because I need a microwave and the refrigerator was not cooling. Overall sleep was good room was fairly clean, but they need to improve their amenities greatly.
