I tried two different rooms. The bed was broken on the first, there was hair on the floor of both bathrooms, and both freezers were disgusting. Also stain on the bedspread. It’s noisy because it’s right on the highway, and once the work trucks rolled in, that was the last straw. I took my family and paid for another hotel room for the night. It was so disgusting. Oh, and there’s a picture of a pool in the ad, and the reason it looks strange is because they filled it in.

The bathroom floor was dirty and had obviously not been cleaned for some time. Obvious dirt and hair on the bathroom floor. The knob to the shower fell off twice, and it didn’t line up correctly with Hot/cold markings. There wasn’t a shelf or place for soap and shampoo so they had to be on the shower floor. There wasn’t a hot breakfast as advertised only generic cheerios and corn flakes. Then our key cards wouldn’t work after that “not so hot” breakfast. After this horrible experience, I doubt we will ever stay at EconoLodge again.

I want to start by saying the staff was amazing. However, I scheduled a room on the wrong days. They were able to accommodate me and moved the dates but they put me in a room with no coach and full of mold. Breakfast was scarce every morning and the heater in the room was not working well enough to keep the room warm.

All was well until I extended for one night. Thankfully, i took my bag with me as I always do. However, i left ice and cocktails in my room along with a very nice shopping bag. All of which was taken. Because I exrended my stay. Thank god i took my bsg with my personal items and meds. I was givin half the value refunded back. Please beware. If you have to extend take EVERYTHING with you. Evidently, that exstinson doesn't get passed along.

For the price you really can't beat what this place has to offer. Location is perfect, the fact you get a full room and breakfast and parking in front of rooms is great. Fridge in my room hummed loudly at night so bring ear plugs. Staff was super nice - for drive through trips you can't beat this price.

I didn't expect a 5 star stat but I didn't expect the room sheets to smell and be dirty. The refrigerator had a previous guest's food still inside. The room was not quite at all. Very disappointing. I will not stay at an Econo Lodge again.
