Upon arrival the front entrance had huge spiders and cobwebs all over as if the spiders have grown by the generation. Upon entering, there was no one at the front entrance. A regular saw me waiting for a while and yelled the staffs name which made her appear from a dining hall. Upon entering my room it REAKED of body odour. Everything was covered in dust. The ceiling has water damage and was falling apart the walls shedding. When approaching the staff with these concerns of smell, and uncleanliness they said “I know, I wouldn’t book here again if I were you”. When trying to cancel the booking unfortunately I wasn’t able to get a refund offered and they changed my room but it wasn’t much better than the first resulting in barely any sleep. I had better sleep in my car that night. Worst experience ever. Definitely would NOT RECOMMEND.
Beautiful view of the Rideau from our balcony, but no other positives. Room was clean, but not maintained. Floor lamp not working, lampshades had obvious stains. Cover on outlet behind bed was smashed, leaving the plugs exposed. Continental breakfast was a joke. Pancake machine was only hot option. Very minimal selection. No fresh fruit, only white bread for toast, three tiny chocolate muffins in pastry section. Would not go again.
This property was absolutely terrible. The rooms were dirty, the locks on the were non existent in one room- having an eyelet lock for the door and there toilet wasn't flushed or cleaned. Extremely disappointed and the pictures on line are not an accurate depiction of the rooms.
The nearest hotel that I have ever seen, I couldn’t even stay overnight, not recommended at all

Econolodge stay
We were there for 1 week, at no time was the room attended to. This is the 3rd time i have stayed here, its a budget hotel that suits our needs, but a little more attention should be paid to the accommodation
Disgusting. Maggots and blood all over the room. Disinfected the furniture and all clothes were black. Heard hookers all over the place and did not feel safe
