They wouldn’t let us check in to the property, worker at the front desk refused to let us speak to the manager so we could actually check into the room and then after not letting us check in, they charged us a $75 fee for not checking in. Avoid this place.

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

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.

Nonsmoking room was clearly used for smoking with cigarette burns in the bedding as proof. Not well cleaned, soap left in shower. Service not very friendly, doors locked indicating not the best area. Cheap hotel with no cable

Nasty moldy dirty Smokey

Woman at the front desk was nice but 1. Room was definitely not nonsmoking. It reeked of smoke. There was a serious mold problem in the corner. Water was dripping from the ceiling. The carpet was was nasty dirty. Walking barefoot left muddy foot prints when I stepped in the tub. A "Pet Friendly" hotel but the grassy area for the dogs was full of garbage. Neither the Hotel or Hotels.com would give a rfund (despite the "Good" rating)

Nice surprise.

I've stayed at a lot of budget motels on this cross country trip and this one was a very pleasant surprise. It had the look, feel and function of something much pricier.

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.
