The staff were excellent, friendly. The hallways and room had a urine smell, like a dog kennel. Looks like homeless people are housed there .

Computers down across the region our keys didn’t work for the room. The room was dirty it had mold on the toilet the lady was very nice about it she tried to go to see the room but the lights weren’t working correctly in the other room it’s basically not meant for vacationing it’s meant for housing people are low income people and that’s fine but if you wanna vacation don’t go there. If you need a place to crash out of exhaustion you could probably tolerate it but it’s overpriced for that purpose. It’s better than a tent. Well that’s negotiable but at least you don’t have to set the tent up.

The room was clean and the building was safe. The common areas were old and need replacing. The household staff does a very good and conscientious job. We really appreciated that.

Rooms are great, common spaces need some attention
The service was friendly enough. The lobby and stairway/hallway was run down and shabby/dirty. The room itself however was large and comfortable and clean. Hard floors and nice beds. Good enough for our one-night stay.

The worst experience living in Econolodge. The bathroom was dirty. Bed sheets had blood stains. No coffee or tea in room. I’m not sure how Expedia has such hotels advertised in their website. I expect a complete refund.

Appeared Abandoned
The pictures on hotels.com are not close to recent. Place looked abandoned. Weeds everywhere, carpets filthy, paint off the walls, reeked of smoke and marijuana. Appeared to be a lot of permanent residents at the facility. Only positive was the ac worked great, the staff and residents were friendly Hotels.com should be ashamed to have this hotel on their site.

We stayed here while moving our oldest into college. The pictures on Expedia are a false representation of this hotel. I wish I could upload my own of the holes in the doors, blood in the bathroom, uncleaned tub, missing carpet, and the cigarette burns in a non smoking room. Needless to say, do not stay here.

Bad bad hotel
Worst hotel I have never slept on. Wasn’t clean at all, dirt on the ground and dusty. Holes in the wall and no breakfast. The carpet at the stairs needs lots of cleaning. Really worn hotel that needs a total makeover.

The room was full of cockroaches. They got into my suitcase. All my clients changed the hotel because of how filthy and disgusting it was. My worse ever hotel experience and I am 58.

I was moving my kids into school and was to stay here one night to pick up my car rental at the airport. I arrived at 11pm, and the room smelled of feces and mold. It was unbearable. The room was unsanitary and not habitable. was told it is a long-term place for homeless people. I had to stay elsewhere.
