Arielle

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The smell was atrocious all around the place. They left used soaps and shampoo and didn't eben bother to provide unused ones. The bedding was horrendous. It was loud all through the night with the staff making no effort to control the noise. Cops showed up one of my nights. But honestly, the smell was so rank, it may have been the most insulting part of my whole stay.

This place was beyond terrible. The front desk clerk was outside smoking when we got there. The room was at the farthest end of the hotel and there was maybe ten cars there so intentionally making it inconvenient. The room door was broken and the room was filthy!!!!!! We couldn’t get a refund and leave because we purchased from a third party.

Bath tub/shower is in bad need of repair. You almost have to hug the wall to get under the water. The facet has a ton of caulk that is dirty. We had a very uneasy feeling about staying there and won't again and probably won't stay at another econo lodge.

Room service never came to us and they didn’t even have breakfast. They never cleaned our room and then when we asked for extra towel towels, we were told to pick them up from the lobby. Also, Even with the room key, we had to forcibly open the door as hard as we could because it refused to let us in our hotel.

Do not waste your money.

My family and I stayed here basically as a last resort. Floors were caving in. The room was not clean at all. It says no pets but there was cat food on the floor and it is smelled like cigarettes in the whole building.
