The room was absolutely filthy. Bathroom had no lights, big dirty stain on the sink, hole in the bedsheet, dirty floors and walls. We requested another room, and the only improvement was that there was lights in the bathroom. I highly do not recommend, the staff at the front desk was nice and accommodating with reassigning us to another room but unfortunately the hotel itself is totally neglected.

The outside looks really run down, but it is part of Choice Hotel Group? Check in was fast and easy. The room was huge, and the bed was comfortable; however, the bedspread (?) was so thin, it didn't feel like you had anything over the sheet; the cover felt like it was just a wee bit thicker than a tablecloth. The microwave and fridge were clean and worked fine. I did not see coffee maker. As for the bathroom, it was clean. The toilet and shower/tub was separate from the sink, which worked for us. There were three small bars of soap, two were on top of the plastic it came in, not sure if they had been used or not, and only one was still inside the plastic unopened. There were dispensers by the sink/counter area and in the shower, but there wasn't anything in them. The shampoo provided in a little container was great though, it didn't dry my hair. I did not see a hair dryer. The bathroom counter needs replacing or deep cleaning, a lot of stains, and the empty dispensers didn't look like it was wiped clean. On the light switches, you can see the original white paint all around the switch plate, the toilet paper holder, was partially painted over by wall plate. The A/C was loud but it did work. We only needed a night's rest and the bed itself was comfortable, just wished the bedcover on top of the sheet was a little thicker, a regular blanket would have worked. The headboard had stickers on them, like the the type kids would put stick on the walls, tables, etc.

There was supposed to be a coffee maker in room-there was not. There were no garbage cans as well. This hotel was disgusting. Worn out mattress, large holes in the bed cover, busted ac/heat unit & a mini fridge that didnt hold temp. The smell in the entire establishment was musty. When walking out of the room this morning, the smell of marijuana was disturbing as well. Will never use Econo Lodge or Expedia again.
