I don't even know where to begin. I was working night shift and i told the staff that i did not want them coming in to clean while i was sleeping now when i was gone. I gave them a time to come and they ended up coming later in day right before i was getting ready to leave for work. I told them no i did not want anyone in cleaning as i was leaving for work and i tried to shut the door and the guy stuck his nasty feet in the door so i couldn't and refused to move then he was talking in a different language and i kept telling him i could not understand. Then the called someone and they called the room and the desk told me that if i didn't let them in they were going to check me out that i had to leave. Another day they came in the room while i was gone and was moving all my stuff around. I also want to include the thousands of ants that were everywhere. They were crawling out of the sink and tub. It was literally disgusting. They were disgusting. I will never ever stay at this place ever. Do not go here.

Very nice Econolodge. The lobby, the breakfast area and the room were clean and in great condition. The man working the desk in the evening was very nice and helpful. The free breakfast includes cereal, bread for toast, a waffle maker, juice, milk, coffee, and fruit. A staff person is nearby in case you need help with anything. The only worn thing in the room was the arm rests on the desk chair. We stayed for 3 nights, and I would stay there again.

With so many options in the area, I regret picking this hotel. Overall, it is very rundown. The rooms are small and lacking basic amenities (like a coffee maker), the common areas are dull, the breakfast was, let's say, lacking, and being right next to the highway, it can be quite noisy... especially in our room, where the window was not aligned, so stuck open in a corner. It wasn't all the expensive, but it definitely wasn't worth what I paid.
