Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews report dirty floors, greasy residue, overflowing trash, no toilet paper in one stay, and shower overflow issues — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, know guests by name, and willing to give local recommendations — service is a clear strength.
Location
8
Several mentions of being close to I-75, outlet mall and 'great area close to everything' — location is convenient and favorable.
Room Quality
6
Mixed reports: comfortable beds and some clean rooms, but outdated bathrooms, dresser falling apart, and recurring shower drainage problems lower the score.
Amenities
5
Basic amenities present (fridge, microwave) but complaints about no coffee, no shampoo, insufficient towels and lack of garbage bins reduce the rating.
Value for Money
8
Multiple reviewers explicitly note good value for the price and willingness to stay again when in the area — good value perception.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Little food/beverage offering noted; several guests complained about no coffee in-room and lack of toiletries — limited/negative F&B experience.
Overall Experience
8
Overall mixed-but-positive sentiment: quiet, friendly staff and repeat stays balanced against notable cleanliness and maintenance issues; many would stay again.

Great area close to everything...
Pros:

Before i even got there the manager would not even speak to me without a confirmation email. When we arrived.. the exterior was in need of help... bad. Looked like they bought an old beat up hotel and they were trying to cheaply fix it up. Bathrooms were updated with non updated or very out of date supplies. Bathroom had hot water and bed was comfy....the staff was very helpful tho for sure but dont think i will go back. Wish them the best of luck.

Pros:

It's good for what you're paying but it's kinda dirty and also there aren't any garbage bins in the room. Perfect for someone who doesn't sweat about the details though.

This is by far the best Econo Lodge we have stayed at. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and clean. The room and bathroom were clean, and NO bugs!

We will definitely stay here again.

4 out of 5 stars
Pros:

Overall it was a nice stay. The room has ongoing shower drain issues (I have stayed in this room before). Water builds up and overflows into bathroom and leaves marble floor very slippery. But the rest of the stay was fine.
