Our Expedia reservation was not recognized, even after I showed our confirmation through Expedia! The front desk man told us, "Your name is not in our system." When I reminded him of our confirmation number with payment, he simply said, "We have no rooms left." The front desk was behind a small plexi glass portal; we highly suspect the place is used as a front for something else. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemies!

Wanted to use this as a pitstop during a family road trip with our infant and dog. Arrived at 2:30 in the morning with many sketchy people hanging around outside. Even though we booked a non-smoking room, it reeked. It was also infested with cockroaches and saw about 6 within the first minute of arriving crawling all over the walls and floors. We tried to change rooms and received two separate keys which didn’t work. At that point, we had no choice but to try to find another hotel at that hour. When we called to try to get a refund, they thought they had hung up and we heard them mocking us. Unsurprisingly, they refuse to give us our money back. This place was disgusting, but their clear lack of care about the filth is beyond concerning. I have absolutely no clue how this place has even halfway decent reviews. Save yourself and don’t even think about stopping here.

Hi Kirsten, im sorry to hear about the issues you were having when you tried to stay at our hotel. When you called did you inform the front desk about the roaches? we do have monthly pest control come to spray. We cant fix any concerns our guest have if they fail to inform us .As for the front desk staff not hanging up the phone and mocking you i do sincerely apologize for their behavior my staff knows better then to behave like that. since you paid through expedia you would want to contact them for the refund. Again i am very sorry for the inconveniences you had to endure . please feel free to reach out with any questions and concerns

I do not understand why Expedia would even list this property. We did not end up staying there as is was not safe. Expedia did not refund the stay and we had to backtrack 50 miles to find another hotel. At least we survived and still have our vehicle. Do not choose this hotel.

Good place
I stayed at Econo Lodge for 4days and I had quite a good time. Apart from the sink (which they most probably forgot to clean), the room was very clean when I got there with new towels, cleaned table, well-laid bed and all. The housekeeper also came in early each morning on the weekdays to check up on what I needed, but I don’t think they have housekeeping on weekends as she didn’t come on Sat and Sunday. I read a lot of reviews about safety issues for it felt quite safe to me and I didn’t notice any sign of danger. The office chair was a major problem though; it looked really old, unkept and I had no comfort sitting on it till I covered it with a towel. Overall, it’s a nice hotel and I wouldn’t mind staying there again.

The property appeared unsafe, with several unkept men wandering around the property. It appears to be a destination for homeless and loitering with associated safety issues. The lobby was locked up and had to deal with clerk through a window. I did not feel safe having my family stay here.

I and my wife are handicapped, I asked for a 1st floor room, they put me in a 2nd floor room and furtherest from the stairs, so not only did I have to drag luggage up the steps, then I had to walk the length of the hotel. was really inconvenient

Just pay the extra money and stay somewhere else. This place was disgusting- filthy, stained towels, black mold, stained chairs, mirror hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, burn holes in the toilet seat and hair all on it. Room was marinated in nicotine ( even though there’s non smoking) and the weed smell was potent. Looked like “extended stay “ guests had their doors open with various pets roaming in and out. Family members in other rooms had same along with cockroaches

Hotel was good. I wouldnt say go for "date night" but manageable for staying a couple nights. I do think stronger bleach is needed for washing. Ok stay and near food sites. This place doesnt have breakfast due to Covid and pics are semi misleading.

Spend more elsewhere!
The room was neat looking, but when you open the door of the room and natural light comes in, the floors were full of dirt and dust! The bottom of my socks were filthy after walking in the room and relaxing. The housekeepers were lazy and very inattentive! The first morning I asked for coffee from her cart and she said they were out, then she said she would go to the office and look. I observed her talking to one of the other residence and when I opened my door to ask for a bath mat, she said the office was out of coffee. (she never went to the office!) The third day I was asked if I needed anything and we asked for replacement towels. We handed her two bath towels, one hand towel, and two wash cloths. Later when I decided to hang them up, we didn't get a hand towel back. The room was comfortable, but the lighting is poor. I was there over the weekend, so I won't get into the noise from the neighbors partying!

So not what we expected.
This was supposedly a non smoking room which smelled like cigarettes for starters. The bed only had 2 small pillows. I don’t think they cleaned very well as there was someone's hair tie on the floor by the bed. We will not be back.

My Stay at the HOTEL
Bed was hard as a rock. A/C didn’t work properly, the unit itself had a buildup of ice inside and the office lady said it’s a old A/C and for me to turn the temperature down which I did but ice was forming up again on the inside of the unit again so my two day stay literally suck.
