Horrible hotel

We were in town for a football game. The room charge was way overpriced at $350 for one night. The room was horrible and the bathroom was dirty. Needless to say, we got a refund and went to a different hotel.

Worse experience ever

Terrible. Room was dirty, bed spread was stained and had burn holes in bed spread. Walls had cut out wall missing. Bathroom baseboards were dirty bathtub had rust stains, and a crack in floor of tub. Magnets no longer worked in shower curtain so I would blow it to the tub and allowed water To splash all over.

It was your average Econo Lodge. If you're in a bind, it works. This one is older, a little run-down (no lampshades, leaky a/c) with questionable stains (floor, bed cover, furniture) but I had to remind myself it's the Econo Lodge. I didn't feel unsafe and the towels seemed clean and the water was hot but it definitely could use a makeover.

Econo Lodge Stay

I was a little dissapointed in the condition of the room. It was clean, but old looking. The wash cloths were stained and there wasn't a hair dryer nor an iron in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Probably the best sleep I've ever had in a hotel.

When we first checked in, I called the front desk and asked for towels. Four hours later I had to call and ask again, and she told me to come to the front desk to get them. When we got back to our room after the football game, our room smelled like weed. We were expecting the pool to be open. The only light that worked in our room was a lamp with no shade. We had to move it to the sink to be able to use the mirror. The toilet ran constantly. The fridge did not cool. I put money in the drink machine and the drink dropped, but the door was jammed and I wasn’t able to get my drink out of the machine.
