2/10 Poor

Stay elsewhere…no internet and poor service
Check in guy was terrible. After being told of a 13 hour drive at 8pm all he’d offer was cancellation of my reservation due to internet not working. He didn’t see it as a big deal. Also the ac was set to 60…outside temps were mid fifties…cold….set the heater to 68 and still took 30 minutes to warm up. The room was clean and adequate.

Not So Good
Less than what I had expected. Key cards were a big problem trying to get into room as well as trying to get into the building from outside. Building seemed to be in ill repair & lacking in maintenance.

10/10 Exceptional

This place didn't look wonderful but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The shower was great also. I appreciate the refrigerator in the room. Breakfast was cereal, toast, English muffins and 2 apples. That was great for us, breakfast is always a bonus. I would atay again.

4/10 Fair

Not worth it
It wasn’t obvious where the lobby was. We drove around to the back and they were pumping their gray water from laundry into the parking lot. Very run down. Carpet was stinky and full of stains in the hallway. We tried to get a different hotel but it was over $200, so we went back to Econo Lodge. Never again.

2/10 Poor

Go somewhere else.
Bad place to stay. Breakfast was cereal & bread. The place reeked of smoke, found bugs (thank heaven not bed bugs) in the room, the bath tub would not hold water, sink was cracked, cobwebs in the window, screen was falling off, there was no WI-FI, housekeeping around the facility was terrible. OK in the room. Walls are thin. People who have given this facility 10/10 must have stayed in a different place.
