Drugs and alcohol all around the property. The rooms smelled of pee and the floors didn’t get cleaned at all. Asked for a refund as soon as I took one look at the room and still haven’t received it. Staff were not friendly at all. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

Pros- the woman at the front desk was very nice and the hotel is fairly close to the stadium so that was nice. The price was decent, comparatively (it was a Tn/Alabama weekend) Cons-there is a large homeless population around that intersection and it appeared as though a couple of them were doing drugs on the stairs near our room both days. They didn’t bother us but I was uncomfortable. The room did not feel clean, (there was dust on the lamps, floors looked dirty, stains on the mattress covers). We will not stay there again.

If I could give zero stars that is how I would rate this place.The room we were give was dirty, had to have the night manager bring clean sheets, bedspread( which was very thin), and take several stained pillows. The bathroom and sink were not cleaned either. There was also a missing towel, washcloth, and the shampoo was open and half empty. Along with that, there were many homeless, living on and next to the motel. There was drug paraphernalia on and by the property which was a hazard to my family and pets. This is one of the worst places we have stayed in and definitely will not be back. It is unbelievable that the manager and their staff are not ashamed of how this motel look and is kept. This will also be sent to Econo Lodge Headquarters.

Terrible place to stay

The facility is old and run down, Heating unit was so dirty hardly any air flow on high speed and did not provide any heating. It was so cold I left at 2:30 am. Now I am having trouble getting my $150 deposit refunded, a surprise they even required it. Management had no interest in feedback and even got rude at my comments

The property was advertised as having breakfast included and laundry facilities. It had neither. We had booked this property for those 2 reasons as we have been travelling and need to do washing. When questioned about it the receptionist said it was something I would have to sort out with Expedia as that was who I booked through. Not very helpful and I would not recommend this place to anyone. The shower still had the used piece of soap from the previous occupants the fridge had water in the bottom of it. The bedspread had a burn hole the size of a quarter. Overall very poor

Horrible!! When we checked in our room did not have water. Told the guy at the front desk and he got it back on. The shower leaked the whole time after he turned it on. The cable in the rooms did not work. Told the guy at the front desk and he claimed the cable was out. The sheets had stains on them, the bathroom had mold, old toothpaste on the sink, hair on the wall, food on the chair. The air conditioner was very very loud. People was going in and out of rooms all night/morning long. People outside in the parking lot talking loud. They finally went in the room about 4:30am and could still hear them thru the walls.

The room was very dirty. There was a lot of flies and nats flying around. I have bite marks on my legs from sleeping in the bed. It was always a lot of noise and traffic during the day. I try to set outside and homeless people kept walking up to me so I was to afraid to set out side anymore. The towels were even dirty. Lot of bugs crawling on me at night.

I booked a room with a king sized bed but none were available. They advertise a continental breakfast but there is no breakfast. I've stayed down the street but this place is much worse for road noise. The room was clean and had plenty of hot water in the shower. The wireless was a little slow but adequate.
