Very dated. Shower dripping all night. Oven took over an hour to cook pizza on full temperature. Couch was very uncomfortable. TV remote could only be functional whilst holding batteries in place. No milk for coffee. Overpriced
The whole unit needs a good clean - mould in the shower - the shower curtain hadn't been washed for ages - it was mouldy and had soap residue. There were no tissues ont eh box in the bthreoom. Light shades in all reas were filthy. Curtains were hanging off the rail in the bedroom - the kitchen blind was filthy - there were splatters up the kitchen window - the mugs had dirty rings on the inside of them. The unit smelled of old cooking smells. The carpet was worn and had holes in it. The Skirting boards were grimmy and dusty - there was dust under the bed in the lounge and a previous guest's sports bandage under the bed. The rubbish bins were smelly.We were in unit 10. There was mould on the window sills in the rooms and on the windows.
Every thing was dirty no cutlery, this property houses emergency housing, wifi is poor, no staff the blankets were disgusting dirty and stained walls and floor are filthy
The motel is good for the cost of it, but the shower was awkward to use and the kitchen/dining area was dirty. Also the soap and shampoo containers were virtually empty.
Our unit was clean and tidy had everything we needed.it was quiet and we felt at home.the staff were excellent and friendly.a great budget option.we would stay there again.
There were holes in everything, the curtain was ripped and not hung up. This would have been fine if it were not for the sheets which were the most plastic pure synthetic awful things I have ever had the displeasure of touching. It wasnt even that cheap either for the price the least they could do is fix the holes and give you cotton sheets
Its a very old building not clean properly full of dust smell and we all got cold due to dust. And not much blanket for cold weather just one single one got not a quilt.and the bathroom is very very old one not a another bin cover and not cleaned.its a very bad experience.the photos shows the building is a new but its more than 100 years old i think.

A bed for the night
The EconoLodge was perfect for what we needed - a bed to sleep in & somewhere to shower.
Not overly flashy & is quite out dated but has everything you need.
Positives:
Room was clean.
Beds were comfy, pillows were good.
Reasonably cheap.
Great location (Wolfbrook Arena & Apollo Stadium nearby)
Not so positives:
Shower pressure was barely existent.
Carpet could’ve done with a vacuum (but to be honest, should just be replaced).
Bit of a musty smell to the room but we weren’t too hung up on it.
Potentially emergency housing (???).
Thanks for a comfy & cheap stay
