The worst experience living in Econolodge. The bathroom was dirty. Bed sheets had blood stains. No coffee or tea in room. I’m not sure how Expedia has such hotels advertised in their website. I expect a complete refund.

Appeared Abandoned

The pictures on hotels.com are not close to recent. Place looked abandoned. Weeds everywhere, carpets filthy, paint off the walls, reeked of smoke and marijuana. Appeared to be a lot of permanent residents at the facility. Only positive was the ac worked great, the staff and residents were friendly Hotels.com should be ashamed to have this hotel on their site.

We stayed here while moving our oldest into college. The pictures on Expedia are a false representation of this hotel. I wish I could upload my own of the holes in the doors, blood in the bathroom, uncleaned tub, missing carpet, and the cigarette burns in a non smoking room. Needless to say, do not stay here.

Bad bad hotel

Worst hotel I have never slept on. Wasn’t clean at all, dirt on the ground and dusty. Holes in the wall and no breakfast. The carpet at the stairs needs lots of cleaning. Really worn hotel that needs a total makeover.

I was moving my kids into school and was to stay here one night to pick up my car rental at the airport. I arrived at 11pm, and the room smelled of feces and mold. It was unbearable. The room was unsanitary and not habitable. was told it is a long-term place for homeless people. I had to stay elsewhere.

Yuck

Hotels.com sent the wrong information, but the front desk staff at Econo Lodge dealt with it satisfactorily-the staff is the lodge’s biggest asset. Every thing else is out of order- no breakfast and no laundry room. Maintenance issues everywhere and the room cost is exorbitant considering the lack of amenities
