Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Tried to charge me again for the stay, when I inquired about having paid through Expedia and showing him the reservation, he conveniently found it and no longer required payment. The hotel room was disgusting, the floor was not swept the bedding was dirty, the blanket had cigarette burns and it smelled really bad. If I did not have small children with me I would have skipped the stay and kept driving.

Very dirty
The floor was filthy. Like it was never swept for a few days. Everthing was beat up and broken looking, but amazingly they did work. There was coffee and clean towels.

I understand the hotel is under going a remodel and I appreciate their desire to upgrade. I was not happy that the toilet seat was cracked and pinched you. There was a blood stain on the shower curtain.

No frills, gets it done.
Don’t expect the Ritz. The Hotel served its purpose for our stay. Clean room, fresh towels, a place to sleep. Staff was friendly and helpful. Cost-effective. Convenient and close to downtown. A little noisy next to the highway. But having the air conditioner on that worked well took care of that.. I would stay here again.

I wish I could submit pictures. Location and atmosphere is what concerned me. I am 70 traveling alone. When I made reservation, I didn't realize the room entry was from outside. I worked through Expedia to cZncel room and rebook in another hotel. Expedia was good to work with but Econo Lodge would not refund. The online pictures were nice but misleading...it said free parking connected to a shopping center....WRONG.. it sat in the middle of the interstate off ramp .area surrounded completely by road...look at it from google maps. I should have read the reviews first ...scary I cannot comment on the rooms, cuz I wouldn't go in. Look at pics on Google. I would recommend Expedia remove them from options

People fighting outside until 1am, children in diapers running around, and the worst beds I’ve ever slept in. They don’t even have a top sheet, just a thin blanket. Spend the money to get a better place
