The night stands had spots where something had been spilt on them and were never cleaned. The chairs in the room had stains on them . Then to top it off the sheets had stains on them so we went and bought some cheap blankets to sleep on top of and when we trie to go to sleep the people on the top floor above us where jumping around and banging on things so we called the front desk and they said they would do something about it but the racket never stopped. Everything was a disaster ##### Raymundo Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Liz Jul 25, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The sheets were not washed, the bathrooms were not cleaned, and the floors were disgusting. My entire party slept on top of the bedcovers in both of our rooms because we did not feel safe sleeping under the covers. One of the beds in my room had fresh pizza stains on the sheet and every bed had old unidentified stains all over the comforters. There was a men’s shoe hanging from the shower curtain rod in my bathroom, and burn marks on the comforter and ceiling as though someone had put out a cigarette there. The walls were also paper thin so you could hear your neighbors coming and going and traffic that passed by all night. If they cleaned it up it would not be bad, but right now I highly recommend looking elsewhere. ##### Liz Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Benjamin Aug 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Overnight staff was excellent ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Suzanne Jul 18, 2025 Nothing ##### Suzanne Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### yolanda Jun 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mandarin my name and my family's name for his refu My stay was terrible oh the guy slender to my name and says he had to give a refund twice or five times yesterday because of my truck and because of the homeless people that hang around his property I have talked to a lawyer this morning and I am very very carefully sorry for this but the thing of it is he made me wait seven and a half hours before I could check in to talk to him after paying for my room online through y'all and then he tells me all of this that it's my fault and all this stuff that he had to give a refund when his rooms are nasty dirty not clean when I take into my room at 7:00 last night I had to clean it went to the office several times to get my towels and toilet paper which nobody answered the doorbell or came to the window I am very tired of this place I have paid a lot of money at this place for my family and I've had too many bad experience I need my money back with this I tell you I'm sorry but if I am not refunded I will tell my lawyers to proceed in the lawsuit at the econo Lodge of slandering my name thank you, again and again I rented it again last night after my week's day that I paid for I put it in my old man's name which is William Mondey and he is the one that check in last night I need to be refunded of this or but I also need to talk to somebody about this thank you ##### yolanda Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chrysti Jun 23, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort The back of the hotel had windows that were boarded up.
