Kind of grubby and pretty packed with people everywhere but got the job done with no issues.
The room absolutely smelled like mildew and cigarettes. The beds had multiple stains and burn holes on the blankets . No towels no wash clothes. It was a horrible experience I could not wait to leave that place. There was also no breakfast served the pictures you see are a lie. Horrible place.
This was the worst place I have ever stayed. No shower curtain, smelled like smoke, no toiletries, had to climb up to 3rd floor on steps, place was filthy, cockroaches, hard lumpy beds, I booked king room, got two full size. The breakfast was cereal and white toast. The list goes on. You should stop bookings at this place. The health department needs to step in.
Floor was very sticky, it needed to be mopped.
Faucet in the tub would not turn off completely, water dripped the whole time we were there. No toilet paper or towels in the room. Very sketchy neighborhood lots of homeless people everywhere.
Would not recommend.
There was homeless people hanging around outside, people smoking and drinking on the walkway, the room was dirty and had burn holes in the bed blankets, no towels in the bathroom or soap
All the rooms reeked and I mean reeked of cig smoke to the point it made me have a head hurt, even tho it was a non smoker room.
The floor was greasy and the bed was full of holes and looked dirty. Atleast the staff was nice and did what they could.
We checked into the hotel and immediately found the room was uninhabitable and not as advertised. There were cockroaches in the room, the toilet would not stop running, and there was a strong, unpleasant odor throughout the space. Because of these unsanitary and unusable conditions, we left immediately and did not stay overnight. We strongly recommend that other travelers avoid this hotel. I have never had such a horrible experience in my life from a hotel.
Dirty. No shampoo or soap. Lots of shady characters wandering about the parking lot and walkways. Young women with no shoes going in various rooms and wandering the area. Broken steps and holes in the walls. Bed had hair on the sheets.
Nice clerk upon checkin.
This place should be condemned! The room was disgusting, old mattress had busted springs, linens were stained, bed spread old and dirty, small cheap pillows. There was hair on the wall in the bathroom, broken drapes, glass in AC from where window was once broken.Trash on the outside wall way.The neighborhood was not safe, people roaming around late at night. I will never stay at another Econolodge. We had to sleep with our closes on because the conditions were so poor. This place needs new managerment and a complete overhaul.
The property reminded me of a jail cell where the office clerk was behind a shielded window and handed you a towel for the room. I didn’t feel safe, leaving anything in my car as it was in that kind of area. My bed looked like someone slept in it there was mold in the shower area. There is mold in the AC unit no washcloth provided no water cups provided, and I requested a non-smoking room and it was a smoking room that I almost gagged in. If I could give this place to 0 I would. The locking door hinges look like they’ve been kicked in and replaced. Overall tent camping would have been 10 times more safer and Cleaner!
Worst place Ive ever stayed by far! First off there’s mattresses all over the parking lot, random people walking around all nigh. I booked my stay in advance and was charged for it, i get there and they tell me they gave my room to someone else. They didn’t want to refund my money so they end up giving me this room that reeked like an ashtray. Had roaches and everything! The only reason i stayed there was because everything else was booked everywhere and they didn’t want to hive me a refund. I don’t recommend recommend it anyone especially if you there with family! I was there working so I had no option. Hope this review saves someone from throwing there money away
There was a dog in the room when we checked in. There were some transient people around the neighborhood, so checked on our car every couple of hours to ensure it was safe.
