The room in general was very run down. there were only a couple outlets, the bathroom light did not work and the cover was off with exposed wires. The tub was very nice but the door had to remain open to shower. The tv/remote did not work. we could get the tv to turn on but had no options for stations. the 1 outlet by the bed was closer to the window than the bed, and our things would not stay plugged in. There were cobwebs in the corners. Overall was not impressed. Would not recommend this place to people.

Don’t book this hotel it will ruin your vacation. Terrible experience. This hotel completely ruined what had otherwise been a great trip. I arrived after the check-in time and was still made to wait 15 minutes because the room was supposedly being “cleaned.” When I finally entered, the bathroom was dirty, there was hair everywhere, no towels were provided, and the shower curtain had disgusting stains. The worst part was the bedsheets. They had huge stains, including what appeared to be blood, and some of the stains were still wet. When I complained, the front desk initially refused to do anything because it had been two hours since check-in, which makes no sense since I had only just discovered the condition of the sheets. They eventually changed one set, but even the replacement sheets still had stains. I booked a room with two beds but ended up only feeling comfortable using one. Very disappointing experience. The property is also misleadingly listed as Econo Lodge, while the actual property is called Economy Lodge. I would absolutely not recommend staying here.
