What guests think

Reviews of Econo Lodge Calhoun South highlight very friendly front-desk staff and a quiet, convenient location near I-75, but cleanliness and maintenance are inconsistent, with multiple mentions of dirty floors, smoke odors, drainage problems, and one report of bed bugs.

Several guests found rooms comfortable and reasonably priced, with some noting spacious layouts. Others cite worn exteriors, dated decor, overflowing trash, HVAC failures, and a few describe poor issue resolution. Best for travelers prioritizing budget over polish.

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.

Clean but outdated. Could use new mattresses and updated bathrooms but the room was clean and I like that there was a fridge, microwave and a small table with 2 chairs

We walked into the room and there was a space heater because the air conditioner / heater was not working. The floor felt like it had not been swept. I had to brush the bed off from feeling dirty,

Needs to have some work on the road and make it look good and nice. Inside the room is very clean and nice. No shampoo or anything but I wash my hair with soap and it smells good 😊

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 Bathrooms were updated with non updated or very out of date supplies.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.

The garbage outside of my room was overflowing and stayed that way the whole time. There was NO TOILET PAPER! The shower had no drainage and overflowed onto the bathroom floor, and into the room itself. It was horrible. The smoke alarm was not connected. I want my money back! When I reported this to the young lady at the desk she said I'm sorry....but there was no compensation for my discomfort.

This place was a disaster, as I walked in the floors had muddy foot prints, the bathroom was ok except the old soap in the soap dish. At least the bed was clean and comfortable. I went to have a cup of coffee and the coffee pot still had the old coffee inside. I will not be staying at this place again.

Motel room smelled of smoke. Bed had 10+ body hairs in it as well as hairs on bathroom counter and bathroom floor. Sheets had burn holes and stains. Some stains looked recent and unwashed. Doubtful the bed was ever changed. Also had issues between Hotels.com and motel which required that i stand around for a while and call hotels.com to get it resolved. Location and price are good for womeone looking for a few hours of shut eye enroute but the place is not clean.

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.
