The staff were not helpful and our room was not cleaned during our stay. We had to bring dirty towels to the office to trade them out. We asked about getting our garbage taken out and they said we could bring it to the office. The smoke detector had been removed from our room. The bathroom fan did not work. There was mold around the shower. Towel bars are loose. We also had to ask for more toilet paper. Very unhappy with our stay.

Filthy hotel. Holes in walls and mold. Hair and stains on beds and people coming and going from next door and hanging in parking lot all hours of the night. We left in the middle of the night because we felt too uncomfortable and unsafe.

Apparently, this place is under new management. they say they serve breakfast no breakfast to be seen. I have photos of the room no curtains AC working very badly. No water they have excuses for everything. Oh no TV and they still charge you full price once they tell you that no we’re gonna charge you less but they still charge me price and deposit was supposed to be returned and never did so I’m extremely unhappy with this place

The price was right on this property. For being close to Rte. 1, it was surprisingly quiet. The staff were quite rude, though. The room keys would quit working every night. The smoke detector had been removed from the room. There was a hole in the bathroom wall behind the toilet despite the room being recently remodeled. The bathroom smelled like mold. On the mirror was a complete list of charges for a laundry list of items you could be charged for, including $900 for a stuffed toilet. We did have hot water and a working refrigerator and TV though. The pool water looked clear, but there was mildew on the hand rails and sides of the pool. There was also trash around the pool. Be sure to ask them to check the room before you check out, so they don't charge you for anything afterwards.

Our room looked as if it was undergoing renovation. No lamp shades, mirror in the room had a broken frame, the toilet paper holder broken, no glasses, only 1 hand towel, no hot water - unable to shower, no hand soap, television had no signal, air conditioner cover was falling off and one knob was missing so unable to set a temperature, bathtub was painted on the bottom to hide something??, shower curtain was too short to fit inside of the tub so if a shower had been able to be taken the water would have ended up on the floor, and the toilet seat was the wrong size for the toilet, and there were also holes in the walls in varying places.

For the cheap rate, you kind of have to make certain concessions but they had our reservation but it still took over 10 minutes for them to print out security deposit waivers and getting the keys. They seemed extremely unorganized, scattered, and slow. The bathrooms smelled of mold horribly, and there was a section of the wall even missing behind the toilet. It seems like they tried to make some improvements but have either stopped caring or the standards are just subpar. The caulking job around the tub looks like it was done by a kindergartner with so many gaps, there is no way it’s keeping any water where it’s not supposed to go.. Hense the heavy mold smell. The mattresses were heavily sunken in the middle. Would not stay here again unless desperate. They sure had a comprehensive list about charges to be incurred for damaged room items with prices on each item. It’s like the single wide trailer home with trash all over the yard, multiple broken down cars, toilets in the yard etc, and these are the properties with “No Trespassing” signs which is hilarious.. don’t worry I don’t want to trespass on your trashy property!

Could not get the cable to work although the maintenance man tried hard. Got there early to watch the college football playoff games and then couldn't do it. Also had an awful hard time getting the cards to work to unlock the room door. Made around 6 trips to the office before I got one to work well enough to get in.

When we walked into our non-smoking room it smelled like a cigarette. The wood floors were so dirty. I was walking around barefoot unpacking and my feet were so black on the bottoms. The walls in the room and door frame to the bathroom has black oily hand prints. The light in the bathroom was full of bugs. The tub was leaking and the tub was dirty. We didn't pull back the cover's of the beds. We slept on top of the bedspread. We didn't take a shower because it was so dirty. The toilet paper holder was broken. I wouldn't have let my dog stay there. We will be coming down to Homestead twice a month until September. We are trying to look for a nice place to stay but this isn't it. We won't stay there again and I will not suggest for everyone else to stay there.

We will not stay at this Econolodge in Homestead again. It did not have a safe feel to it. Many repairs and renovations need to be done at this hotel. It's in terrible condiition. The door could have easily been kicked in. There weren’t even two bath towels! I even caught a viral infection while staying there and have been sick ever since. Its only saving grace was the women at the front counter . She deserves a raise and a metal for working at such a dump!
