2/10 Poor

Catfished! The photos are very deceiving and the room was not as advertised. Due to a later check-in, all hotels in the area were booked (I called 4 immediately after getting to the room). Here are the bullet points: -Room was dingy (especially for being recently “remodeled” -Of the 2 Queen beds, one had brown stains on the sheets -The shower was smaller than an RV shower and we didn’t even dare test it for cleanliness since the hinges were rusted over and the floors and walls had a some sort of brown “chunky” pattern so I couldn’t see mold if I wanted to (not the shower on the website photos) -The window wouldn’t lock (ground level) and the window frame had a large hole cut out of it -A couple down the hall were yelling at each other for over an hour -And the halls smelt of weed. I get that it’s listed as a discount motel…but this is what you see in a movie as a stereotypical rock-bottom room. I’d offer positive suggestions for improvement, but this motel is a lost cause.

The floors were sticky and the bathroom seemed liked it needed a deep clean. We did not feel comfortable enough to shower.

Not a bad place for the price. If you are looking for a place to sleep for the night with no bells and whistles, this will work!

If you are looking for a place to stay with all the bells and whistles, this is not the place for you. If you need a pool and exercise room and breakfast, choose another option. Frankly, when I saw the price for a night here, I was expecting a dump! I am glad to say that it is no such place. The room was very comfortable with Tv, study desk, fridge and microwave. The entire place was immaculately clean. The staff (of one? at least that is all we ever saw) was very attentive, helpful and welcoming. The room gave evidence of being recently painted. Overall, our three nights in the area to see a grandson were very pleasant. I recommend this Econo Lodge if you need the basics at a VERY reasonable price.

This property was very dirty. Had bullet holes in the walls and the bathroom wasn't clean and the hallways was very creepy and scary the walls in the halls were boarded up. It was just very uncomfortable

I arrived on 6/28 to find the hotel closed by the fire marshall due to fire. The manager tried to call me at 3:43 on 6/28...past cancellation policy time, but I was driving there. He told me to contact Expedia, who would contact the hotel so I could get refunded. Expedia has not been able to get a hold of anyone to refund my $76.10 to me. I have used this hotel multiple times and this is VERY disappointing to me.
