I would have rated this property higher, since the room was comfortable and in good condition, but I had a problem with the general manager when I checked in. There is a $50 cash deposit, which is not a problem, but the GM refused to give me a receipt for the money (which I would have returned in the morning when getting back the cash). He then canceled my reservation. This was extremely inconvenient, since it was late and was raining. After profuse apologies on my part, he reinstated the reservation and became friendlier. However, such behavior only rates two stars from me. Otherwise I would have given four or even five stars.
There was a cockroach crawling on the wall, you could see outside even with the door closed. The bed was not comfortable almost as hard as the floor. I would not stay here again no matter the price. The night rate was the only perk unfortunately.
Room was nice and large...bright and comfortable. Only issues were the bed was hard (for us) and tho there was a fridge n micro we wpuld have liked a coffee maker. But for the price we would stay again

Although the clerks were a bit rude, but for the price this hotel has, it is quite decent.
The dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Bathroom ceiling is covered in mold with a dislocated fan to help. So you wake up puffy and congested. The entire wall is coming off from mold in the bathroom. Bed blankets had old visible stains… And of course there is a bug problem due to the moist condition. Old dead bugs from previous days that never got cleaned up and lots of new ones to keep you company in your bed. Had to literally flick off three on my pillow before we went to sleep. This place was so disgusting. Wouldn’t stay here for free. We are NEVER staying in an Econo Lodge ever again!
Not gonna lie this was one of the sketchiest places ive ever stayed. Creaky rock hard beds tv didnt work leak in shower head fixed with a trash bag etc....on the upside its a great location
