While this motel served its purpose on our trip due to its convenience to downtown, the dirtiness of the room will not have me returning for another stay. Mold on the ceiling, cigarette holes in the sheets, the bathroom door could not shut all the way and some odd stains on the walls of the bathroom area are glaring issues that need to be fixed. There was also an odd smell in the room for the entirety of the stay and and floor didn’t seem to have been swept before our stay.

Wouldn’t stay again
Would not stay again. Rooms needs serious maintenance. Exhaust fan was extremely loud, smoke detector wires hanging from wall, later found smoke detector in a drawer, bed felt broken, felt uneasy staying there. Even checked for bed bugs because it had that vibe.

Definitely the worst night ever! First door did not close properly, there was a Gap in closure it look like someone could kick it open. The furniture was dusty and I had to grab a towel to clean it to be able to lay my things on top. The sink in the bathroom area had a men's underwear having on the side of the ironing board. But that was not the worst part. The beds (mattresses) felt like they were 100 yrs old, def springs loose, my body was aching all over. I had to make due since I was driving for 4 hrs and got there around midnight, and to look for another hotel at that time. When I ran twice in the morning around 7 am, there was no breakfast set up and manager nowhere in site. Horrible experience, will never stay at Econo Lodge

This property advertised falsely. There was no breakfast as advertised. There are no clean towels and the sink kept clogging. When asked about breakfast, the owner replied that coffee was the only thing they provided for breakfast. The beds were not stable. They kept moving if someone moved. The room was very small…overall…1 star is too much for them.

Not with the money!
This was the absolute worst hotel stay! The desk attendant was very friendly. The room we had was old and although it seemed clean, it had an overall dirtiness to it. Continental breakfast was non existent. Not even a pot of coffee! Definitely not worth $115! I wouldn’t have even paid $50!

Very Disappointing
I reserved non-smoking they put me in smoking room .They advertise cont. breakfast, didn't have it .The room had a bad oder and was not clean enough, stain from food on walls.no chair to sit on .broken coffee pot and the bath door would not close because they installed the latch in the door knob backward . and the AIRcondition cover kept falling off so i finally left off!!! Too much play in the front door and you could see top and bottom light from the outside come in. burnt hole in the covers saw wires but no smoke alarm in it

Location was difficult to safely enter, parking was cramped, guests appeared to be living on site, hanging out on the sidewalks with screaming children running around. Looked forward to the advertised continental breakfast only to find out it's no longer offered. The room was updated and smelled clean. Obvious signs of prior water damage had spots on ceiling dropping pieces of plaster all over. But it didn't feel dirty. Bathroom was nice, but slippery as hell. The floors were gleaming, but were like ice even barefoot. Tub was likewise a skating rink and we had to hold on for dear life just sitting on the toilet or getting into or out of the shower. There were loud men chatting outside our door well after midnight. The furnishings were nice, the TV was huge. Overall, I'd stay again.

Richland County visit.
It was conveniently located but the parking is juxtaposed to the first floor rooms making it easy to be distributed by cars noise during the night and as well as guests who were constantly talking in the hallway. A free continental breakfast is advertised but not provided according to the attendant due to COVID-19 restrictions only a coffee machine is but I didn't see any filter to be able to operate it. For a limited budget it's a fair choice overall. For a limited budget it's a fair choice.

There were hookers, drug dealers and crack heads hanging out at the hotel. There was spit on the floor, urine on the ground in the bathroom and roaches in the microwave. Had my wife and kids with me for Army basic training graduation. We left immediately.
