There was a cockroach crawling on the wall, you could see outside even with the door closed. The bed was not comfortable almost as hard as the floor. I would not stay here again no matter the price. The night rate was the only perk unfortunately.

The dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Bathroom ceiling is covered in mold with a dislocated fan to help. So you wake up puffy and congested. The entire wall is coming off from mold in the bathroom. Bed blankets had old visible stains… And of course there is a bug problem due to the moist condition. Old dead bugs from previous days that never got cleaned up and lots of new ones to keep you company in your bed. Had to literally flick off three on my pillow before we went to sleep. This place was so disgusting. Wouldn’t stay here for free. We are NEVER staying in an Econo Lodge ever again!

Room had cockroaches. We killed six large ones within 5 minutes of being in the room. There were also nymphs all over the place. If it hadn’t been so late we would have left. We slept in our clothes with the lights on and left first thing. Strong smoke smell in the morning as well. Would never stay there again. Didn’t bother calling the front desk as we saw the roaches are an ongoing issue in the reviews—we had mixed up places when booking :/
