Not Recommended

Not in line with econologdge expectations, might have been an off name inn. No directions for check in when main door locked. Card keys were white and he took a sharpie, crossed out previous room # and wrote our current room # on it. Keys were dropped off in a plastic pumpkin outside of main door, which concerns me. Room was very outdated, bed and pillow not comfortable. Breakfast was the worst ever - green bananas, prepacked little debbie donut, milk in a jug just sitting on the counter not temp controlled. When going back out to my car after about 15 min arriving the police were there regarding a problem between the customer trying to check in and the clerk, not sure what occurred and who instigated but an unsettling occurrence with family. Definitely wont stay here againt and will paid more for a better quality place. Sad to have associated this with the econolodge name.

This is by far the worst place I have ever made a reservation. The property was unkept, falling apart, dirt, the staff was clearly under the influence of substances and criminal activity was openly occurring in the park lot. We contacted Expedia for assistance. They contacted the property manager and made an unsafe environment. The property locked the office door would not answer the phone or allow a checkout. We had to flee the property and were on our own to find new lodging. Expedia strung us along for days trying to get a refund and finallly stated there was nothing they could do.

Do not stay here. Everything in our room was dirty. The towels looked like someone wiped their shoes off on them. the bedding was dirty. Unfortunately, we checked in after 11pm because we were at cedar point all day so there weren't really options to stay somewhere else. I paid $180 for the night. Luckily, I had my own blankets and towels and stuff we brought with us.

Liar, Robs money by the name of security deposit.

The front-desk lobby keeper charged me a security deposit of $30 stating that its refundable and would returned upon verifying that there are no stolen towels and no stench of smokes. I checked out clear on the next morning of my stay and the security deposit return would hit back into my account within a couple of days. It's been 25 days and it never did. I called him up twice and he claims he returned it. I called up the bank and verified that no such transaction got posted.

Slum hotel

Was a total dump, room smelled, towels were dirty, breakfast was a joke, coffee, 2 types of cereal, and when we walked in the owner came in barefoot with a room temperature gallon of milk. They also kept the deposit, and room was cleaned when left, with no damage. Paid $250 for one night, been in way nicer hotels for $55 a night. Total dump all around

My stay at Econolodge, Norwalk OH

First if the room looked like the one on the website, it may have been okay, the rooms are filthy as are the windows, the owner /manager? is the rudest person I have come across dropping the F bomb on me more than once when asked if maybe there was maybe an egg cushion to make the bed more comfortable I was told this to look at the F'ing sign this is Econo Lodge not the Hilton and with cigarette burns in the bedding thats for sure. The truth is I should get a full refund, you would not even put foot in the pool, its so filthy. The guy running this place is a nut case.

The hotel is rundown and nothing like in the pictures. They say breakfast is included and then the door was locked during breakfast time. The toilet was clogged and the place dirty. Also the person at the front desk was disrespectful and told us that “ for breakfast they have only cereals” and we get our deposit back if we don’t steal or break stuff.

Find someplace else

Just needed a place to sleep for the night. Property is unkept, grass is knee high and an unexpected $30 deposit in case of room damage. I was still charged the $30, and no refund given. When I call, it just rings, nobody answers and no machine to leave a message. Wanted to turn my room keys over at 6:30 am, doors were locked going into front desk. Came back at 10:30, it was unlocked but nobody around. Rooms are from the 1970’s. Do not recommend!
