A nightmare
Pros:

This place is a hazard and the people are thieves. First they made us leave a cash deposit, which I've never seen before. The door to our room, looked like it had been kicked in previously. From inside the room with the door closed you could see out into the parking lot through the bottom half of the door. The electrical plugs on the nightstands didn't work and the toilet backed up and didn't work. The room looked and felt dirty. The towels had stains on them. The keys stopped working and we had to get new ones. We were only there one night for a concert and there were no rooms available in the area. So we had no choice but to stay there. Oh and the door handle was so loose at one point it even came of in my hand. To make matters worse when we went to check out they told us we couldn't check out until they sent someone to check the room. Then 2 minutes later they came back with that the room smelled like w*ed. We tried to explain that we didn't smoke and the lady at the desk said okay we'll just call the police then and my husband asked is this about keeping the deposit and the lady said "yup". I've never been to a hotel where they asked for cash deposit and then didn't let you leave before the inspected it. It gave us that was the plan all along vibes. The place was literally falling apart and then made up a smell to keep the deposit. This place was a nightmare.

Mediocre stay
Pros:

It was ok. I could hardly take a shower because there was no water pressure and the water didn’t get hot. Almost fell down the stairs because there was loose plastic that covered the stairs.

Pros:

all the doors to get into the rooms are broken, so it takes several tries to actually unlock it. on top of that the room was full of flies and the toilet was broken. i understand that this isn't supposed to be a luxury hotel or anything but i still paid 400 dollars and id at least appreciate if it was worth it.

Pros:

This property is old and it shows. Also very dirty. Don’t be deceived by the pictures! We found hair in the tub, a brown stain on the wall, German roaches and some crazy wet spot on the carpet. I think there may have been some other issue because the wet spot grew the longer we were there. If you’re desperate, this place will work. But if you have options, choose anywhere else.

Pros:

Bathroom needs cleaning, the tub was black and hair on the walls. Toilet barely flushed. I had a hole in my blanket, looked like a cigarette burn. Pillows were hard as a rock.
Doors were dirty/stained and paint was chipping. The outside was dirty. Floors weren’t sweeped because there was hair and crumbs everywhere. Tv remote didn’t have batteries and tv was unplugged.

Pros:

Our nonsmoking room smelled strongly of smoke. There were hairs on the sheets, the shower leaked, the door had a huge gap in the seal, there was staining on the bedding, and we had a huge dark fresh stain on the floor that hadn’t been cleaned. You get what you pay for.

Pros:

The experience was terrible, starting with the unpleasant smell in the lobby.
The sheets and towels looked used and were gray, as if they hadn't used Clorox to disinfect them.
The breakfast was poorly prepared, and the dining room was equally dirty.
It's a shame because I've used this hotel chain on other trips, and everything was different.

Pros:

This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The lock for my room didn't work. Neither did the TV. Got another room and the neighbors were playing loud music. I left to go to my event and came back to the same music. Called the front desk. No answer. Went to the front desk and it was locked. Waited and knocked until someone showed up. They were clearly having a phone conversation with someone and didn't hang up while I asked them to help with the music. They came to my room while still engaging with a personal phone call. They heard the music. Told me they would deal with it. They didn't do anything. They didn't even contact the other room's occupants. I went back to the office and asked them to give me another room. So I moved again.

Never staying at an Econo Lodge again.

Friendly staff Gross Hotel!
Pros:

The office staff and cleaning staff were friendly and helpful but this EconoLodge is literally the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. Water leaked out of the toilet when it was flushed and the hallway leading to our room smelled like a combination of bleach and dumpster fluid. On a good note it’s very close to Raymond James Sradium and Metallica rocked out!
