CONNIE

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The furniture is old and damaged, it legit looked like something you'd see out by the roadside waiting for garbage pick up. There was NO chance I was sitting on the sofa,it looked filthy. The mattress was grungy and HARD, it felt like we were sleeping on the box spring. We requested a non smoking King suite, but we're put in a smoking room. There were holes in the sheets, and they didn't fit the mattress well; they slipped off with the slightest movement. The top latch to secure the door was busted like someone forced their way in at some point. They have obviously done some painting, but they did a terrible job patching the Sheetrock so it looks bad. The ceilings are peeling. They "refinished" the tub/shower, it too was peeling and dingy. There was trash left behind by a previous tenant in the drawers. It was the kind of room I was afraid of finding bed bugs,but thankfully did not. My husband hardly slept because he couldn't get comfortable, and he didn't feel the place was safe. Maybe they have better rooms but stuck us in one of their crappy rooms since I booked through Expedia, I don't know. It was terrible though. I don't have high standards and expectations, but I do have standards and expectations. This place did not meet any of them. I do NOT recommend this place.

At $100 per night less than other properties in the area, the EconoInn was perfectly serviceable. Our double room was a good size. The down sides were the group standing outside our room drinking and no hot water in the morning (though we had it in the evening.)

There were two TV controls only one of whiched worked on the Roku TV. It was unfamiliar to me, so finding channels to watch was a chore. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good including waffles, sausage, bacon, eggs, yogurt, muffins.

First room had roaches and a lot of wall damage and shower fawcet was loose in the wall. Not cleaned well. Second room we got after a night in the first room was better. Still not really clean but no roaches and less damage. The stairs and walk way were very dirty and trash like cigerettes laying all over.

1st Time Stay

My stay was fine, since I only stayed 1 night. I appreciate the facility being pet friendly and the parking was fine, the facility was also next to several eateries which was convenient. It however really needs updating examples; 1. Baseboarding was separated from the wall in a few areas, 2. The shower curtains need updating ( in my room) they were tattered and shower rod barely hanging on the wall, 3. I saw what looked to be mold in the ceiling of bathroom, 4. Bed linen needs updating. All in all they stay was still do-able for what I needed and maybe an option should I need a room quickly.

It did not quite look like the pictures. The hotel room was nonsmoking but there were cigarette burn holes in the sheets. There were rust spots in the bathroom around the shower and shelves. The towels had stains. Check in staff was friendly. The hotel itself just needs some TLC.
