Pros:

Where do I start with this place…the place had a horrible smell the blanket on the bed was thin and felt like we were wrapped in a shower curtain. The tub had mold in the corners hardly drained while showering and barely and hot water. The cabinets in the room are completely falling apart and the rugs are absolutely disgusting. They had some sort of function going on the weekend with really loud music till early morning! You get what you pay for so be prepared if you plan on staying here I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone I know

Worst hotel ever.
Pros:

This was by far the most digusting run down hotel I’ve ever stayed in, in my life. The whole hotel and room stunk of mildew, marijuana, and cigarettes. The bathrooms were disgusting, I’ve never felt dirtier after taking a shower. All the sheets had burn marks, trim coming off walls, disgusting beyond belief.

FILTHY
Pros:

Hotel was filthy, and dirty. Bedsheets were super dirty, and infested with bedbugs. I got bit up all over my whole body I would actually appreciate if I could get a refund or some type of free stay for one night added onto my hotel‘s account. I’m a loyal consistent customer always I paid for insurance for mh stay.. I would appreciate.

Pros:

This property should not be part of the Econo Lodge family. Wires hanging down from a missing light fixture, a couple of burned out light fixtures, torn lamp shades, drapes hanging down, dark and gloomy room. The remote control wouldn’t turn on the TV so they came and reprogrammed it, but I still had to use the buttons on the TV to fix the input every time I turned on the TV. If there had been another hotel nearby, I would’ve willingly lost the money on this one and moved to another one, but I was tired.
