Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

Worst hotel I’ve stayed in. After checking in I was directed to park at a certain entrance and use that door well, it was out of order with a sign on the door, so I walked around the building to use the opposite door to find that one broken and wouldn’t even accept my keycard.
While checking in i asked about towels for the pool and was told they were at the pool. NO TOWELS and the hotel was empty at 3:00 when I checked in. The Pool was dirty with brown water and dirt like it hadn’t been cleaned in a few days.
To top it off the TV didn’t work and I called the front desk who said maintenance was not currently on the property.
This is the first Econo I’ve stayed at, and the last.

BED BUGS STAY AWAY!
Well our air conditioner went out and the soonest they could come to our house was the next day sometime in the afternoon. I looked on Priceline and this place seemed to have decent reviews and was really cheap which was appealing because even though we were going to have to pay for two nights we were only going to be actually staying for one and part of the next day so we wouldn’t get kicked out a checkout and could wait around in the air conditioning while ours was repaired. The first thing I noticed was of course the area was completely sketchy but I knew that going in. The hotel is surrounded on both sides by razor topped fence to keep it separated from the trailer parks on both sides. It is considered a «pet free» and «smoke free» hotel, but I saw a room window with a cat looking out of it and the entire place including the hallways reeked of cigarette smoke. People were just hanging out smoking everywhere. Even though the outer doors are supposed to only be opened with a room key every time I walked outside I noticed people would prop open the doors with rocks which does not make me feel secure because then anyone can wander in besides guests. The room had a faint bad smell, like old cigarette smoke that had been covered up with badly perfumed cleaning supplies. The bathtub was dirty. I figured we could tough it out for one night even though we were surrounded by obvious meth addicts that seemed like they had been living there for a while at the hotel, must be cheaper than renting if they have a lot of people to a room… Next I noticed that after only taking our shoes off in the room and walking around the carpet ALL of our socks were completely black from how dirty the carpets were. So I stopped taking my shoes off in the room… So disgusting. The bedspread had cigarette burns in it even though there were signs in the room saying it was «no smoking». We spent the night anyway despite my misgivings and 2pm the next day our ac unit was finally fixed so I headed home with the kids very glad to get away from the hotel and not have to spend the second night. The next day I woke up itching terribly and noticed my body was covered with red bites. So far I’ve counted about 20 bites. It took a day for the bites to show up and after googling I have learned bed bug bites don’t usually show up immediately but a day or so later when your body starts having a reaction to them and 50 percent of people don’t have obvious bites because they aren’t allergic to them. Now I am washing everything we had with us at the hotel and hoping, hoping that we didn’t bring them back with us. I regret trying to save money by staying a cheap place. Please don’t make my same mistake. I see lots of good reviews for this place saying despite it only being 2 stars it is very clean but I can only conclude those are all fake reviews or outdated.

The best thing about this place was that it was clean and a good value. Newly remodeled, looks nice, modern furniture. Housekeeping did a good job, everything looked clean. Towels were okay, no major stains. Breakfast was included, they had waffles. Service at the front desk was excellent and very helpful. Beds were not uncomfortable, sheets seemed clean and fresh. The only thing is that the beds were both full size beds, not queen. But it was a great value.
