Nice hotel

It’s an older building but it was clean. Hallway and outside area was well lit. Desk clerk was efficient and helpful. The free breakfast was good and gave us a good start to the day as we continued with our travels. Breakfast area was well stocked and clean.

This property was very run down and outdated. Nothing like the pictures. It had a 8.2 rating but was definitely a 3.0.

The outside of the building had major damage. The hallway lights were just light bulbs without covers. There wasn't any towels or wash clothes in the bathroom. I asked multiple people multiple times for them and was ignored. There were stains on the carpet. The a/c was cool, but not cold. There was dog hair and sand on the other bed that i didn't notice until the next day. The outside doors didn't have locks on them and the front door was hard to open. Two employees were arguing outside at time off arrival. The location was good. That's the only positive about the stay.

the Econolodge is the back half of the property - joined to the Quality Inn in the front. The back half is uncared for and there are residents living in it long-term. We refused the room and were offered a room in the much better Quality Inn for the same price. They need to either improve the Econolodge or close it - it should not be a branded motel! Choice system should drop it!

Yay and Nay

So our first stay last weekend was wonderful. The from staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was good for a place to sleep for one night. The second time we stayed was this recent weekend and the room was not in the best condition. The sheets had stains on them, there were no comforters on the beds, the bathroom wasn’t fully stocked and some other issues. Called down to the front desk and they offered a new room which I checked out and one of the beds had ash and hair and stones? on it so went back down and unfortunately they didn’t have anymore rooms available. They offered sincere apologies and sent a refund. It sounded like they were having some issues with the housekeeping staff, which I do feel for the front desk. It can be hard to keep good staff. Overall, Candice was a gem and very welcoming and sweet.

Get what you pay for

Econo shares lobby with another hotel, confusing to check in. Stand up fan in the lobby. Bathroom toilet seat was loose and came off, remote was broken, tv wouldn’t come on. Bed and pillows not comfortable. Breakfast was no where near continental. The plus side was that there were no visible bugs!

The rooms were unclean. I don't think they were cleaned for us from the last guest that stayed there. The bathrooms definitely weren't. I have never been to a hotel in that condition.

The sheets and towels were clean and the air conditioning worked. The attached restaurant was good. The staff were nice. Otherwise the floor was sticky, limited security-exterior doors did not lock, some outlets did not work, fridge did not cool, window screen torn out and broken glass in the parking lot. We did not stick around for breakfast. When we checked in we seriously considered leaving but were exhausted after a long day of driving. Would not recommend for families!
