Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The service was great but as soon I got to the room most of the lights didn't work or just didn't have bulbs there was 4 pills on the floor. The toilet wouldn't flush and the sink wouldn't drain. The molding around the room was hanging off. Nothing like the photos when booking very disappointing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Prior to booking I called and verified the pool was open an would be available Jan. 3rd & 4th and that guests were welcome to join in the lobby. At arrival, pool was green, an the entire place filthy. I couldn't even see myself in the mirror of my room! Nasty toilet! I arrived very late after a long trip in the car during the resent snow storm. I stayed that night due to exhaustion, but immediately addressed the staff regarding these issues. I was immediately assured I would not be getting a refund and that I'd still have to pay for the 4 th regardless if I stay or not as it was too late to cancel. This place doesn't even get a whole star!

Open windows without screens, paint chipping throughout whole room. Urine stains on bed. Was given new mattress pad cover but was told it was after hours and we’d have to change the bed ourselves. Dusty/dirty floors. Shower was ice cold.

This econo lodge is an econo lodge. If you travel and know the meaning of that i will say the pool was warm enough for my son to have a good time and the rooms were good for the value. The desk man was nice. Get some juice for kids for breakfast.. maybe put out some banana s... make sure you check it is full instead of empty. So overall meet our expectations for what we needed. Better than other econo lodge s and did the job.

The whole hotel was completely nasty. I didn’t even get to sleep in it. I walked in to check the room out and there was bugs on the wall. The baseboards were falling off. It smelled really bad.
