Econo Lodge Phoenix North I-17

Poor property condition and bugs

What I liked: The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We needed extra pillows and towels and they made sure that we got them in a timely manner. Beds were comfortable.
What I didn't like: The fact that it wasn't specified on the listing as an "extended stay" motel. There were a lot of people that live at the motel. The property had trash cans overflowing and trash piled up next to the cans. It had cars that were in varying levels of operability. There even was someone smoking marijuana at the base of the stairs the next morning when we left. My daughter didn't feel comfortable going to the car by herself. The property left a lot to be desired as it was also in varying levels of operability. It just gave the overall appearance of being in the stages of being run down. It could use a touch of corporate involvement and structure. It seems to me that if a corporation is selling off their properties to private individuals, then the individual(s) should drop the name of the corporate entity. Unless once reputable businesses are good with the reputation of hosting low-income housing type of properties.
And if private hotel/motel operators plan to maintain a good rapport within the search engines, then take some pride in the propety and get folks that care about what it looks like to the general public. The 2-star review didn't match up to the actual experience.

It's not like pictures

Should not be over $35 a night

Every thing are different from the picture.

Reality is different not good

The pool was green, the building looked ready fall down. The door barely worked it looked as though it had been busted open by police. My kids and i got hit with blister beetle/bed bug bites

I had an amazing time the people that work here like SaL and mary were great I'll be back

Horable no TV no hot water holes in walls blood on bed sheets no towels no toilet paper

For the price great stay

Awful. There was literally poop smeared all over the wall when we went into our room.

Roaches lack of utilities lack of items available for use

No working tv

Poor condition, nothing works. 3 rooms before got a key and a to work.

Don’t do it. Horrific

This hotel is not hospitable. Not even able to stay here. Doors don’t lock or even stay closed or sealed. The room numbers were drawn on doors. Dangerous area did not feel safe the rooms were not secure. It smelt of drugs so bad. People were working on rooms and no lobby cause it was filled with workers supplies. It was not a place we could stay. I demand my money back. Not at all what the photos shown. Plus the room number she gave me was not a room. The rooms did not go up to the number of room she gave me. So never found the room. But saw enough.

This place is clearly a hookup/dealing spot. The pictures are extremely inaccurate and I am assuming many years old considering the actual condition of the place. Room was okay but by no means clean, cigarette holes, hair, and stains in the bed sheets. Extremely dingy bathroom. I would not recommend staying here.

I didn’t realize it was in such a bad neighborhood. During the day they only assisted thru the night slot.
When I got to the room it was patched over trash.
There were painted over areas that did not match.
There were screws missing from hinges where the doors have forced open so often.
Around 2 am I awoke to the sound of the ceiling leaking .
I put a garbage can under the biggest leak and checked out.

The place should be condemned. It is uninhabitable and a health hazard. I reported them to the local health department and this Econo Lodge will be shut down. It is the most disgusting, smellly and vile place I have ever seen.

Dirty, urine smell everywhere around the property and in the room. Looks terrible, bed customer service, poor maintenance

At checkin I was told my card key would not work. Security had to let me in and told me if I go out I’d have to get let in again. Bed sheets were stained. Graffiti on the bed post. Curtains torn and would not cover the window letting anyone peer into the room. Dirt on the seats. Bathroom dirty. Roach walking across the floor. It smelled like someone was living there. Felt unsafe.
