The rooms smelled of cigarette smoke, they stank and the bedding had cigarette burns. We left without even staying and found a room somewhere else. I asked for a refund and was told to contact who we booked the room through.

Nuke it!

We stayed about 20 minutes. It was in a horrible area, loads of homeless, run down room smelled like cigarettes when we asked for non smoking with burn holes all over the bedspread. This property should be condemned and the area nuked.

Room was dirty -- tub gross, every towel had dark stains, sheets stained, bedspread stained with burn holes, desk chair stained. LOUD groups at doors and in parking lot, one group right in front of my door left beer can on the room threshold. Someone pissed at 2nd floor stairway. Just gross throughout.

New owner has work cut out for him

The clientele ...or people hang over the railings... was sketchy. Didn't give a guest a sense of security. The room was not real clean. Past guest left food in the refrigerator. I splashed water on the floor and when I wiped it up, the towel was black. Mirrors were spotty. Apparently, they have adapted to the trend of no top sheet on the bed, and the blanket was scratchy. To be fair, there is a new owner (he has a lot to do if his intention is to improve the place).

I did not feel safe getting out of my car. It was dark, and there were multiple groups of homeless and loiterers, old mattresses and furniture outside and police patroling the parking lot. I contacted Expedia to ask for a refund. They contacted the hotel office who acknowledged the groups and said thats why there is an officer patroling and stated that it was competely safe. I was denied a refund from both the hotel and from Expedia. If I could, I would post pictures and screen shots of the conversation, but there is no where to load it.

Awful

There were several unsavory folks hanging around in the parking lot. The room had stains in the ceiling. Pieces of the wall were missing along the bottom trim. The window had a large diagonal crack. The room smelled of cigarettes. The tub was dirty.

its a very run down place it was a better place 6 years back once i check in notice the smell of weed and smoke plus the holes in the walls check under the sheets found a cockrouch in the bed running across the sheets killed took it to the manager and said im not sleeping here. i would just like my deposit back and cancel the room plus at first try to get in the room key card didn't work. no toilet paper in the bath room. alot of homeless people right outside the property. next door was a waffle house but close down. the area was great 6 years ago that was my first reason for going back plus i want a good nite rest tomorrow i got a important VETERANS APPOINTMENT AT THE MAIN HOSPITAL IN ALBUQUERQUE. so i left and check into another area Albuquerque were it was almost full and rates were higher in the late evening. it seem most place went up 20 bucks more at the last minute check in which suck so i guess the websites has its way on making money too.

More than Half of the accommodation list are none existence The employee quoted me on three different prices on the room( early check in fees not list, cites signs as notice, went to change price and sign with comfront about violations) Both employer and employee was willing grabt me the price I want, admission of wrong doing. My room was not represented properly nor was it clean, this was met with "well you didnt complain" Employee also lied to me serveral time during our exchange. All in attempt to avert guilt from his perceived wrong doing, also was willing to place a sign up citing the fee, as this is probably a common occurence. Misrepresentation of Room, Price, and accommodation. The only thing honest is this technically an econo lodge They quite literally list amenities, and charge for water. Most HOTELS charge 20 to 50 dollars for visitors, they charge 100 I was told the early check in was 50$ as a new sign was put up stating 40$ Econo lodge is own by choice hotels, standard is usually 44$ with a franchise fee of 8000$ (one time) Failure to meet choice hotel standards or price point Owners said he can charge whatever price he feels fit.
