What guests think

At Econo Lodge Berea, guests report a budget stay with mixed experiences: many find clean, simple rooms and friendly staff at a convenient location, while others note limited breakfast despite advertising and occasional service frustrations or extra charges.

Common room complaints include smoke odors in non-smoking rooms, weak or rattling AC, and spotty Wi-Fi. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean and updated interiors to reports of dirty bathrooms, stains, strong odors, or pests. Some travelers mention small parking areas versus easy trailer parking, and one report cited a mistaken key opening an occupied room. Expect a basic, low-cost stopover with variability in amenities and service.

Its an Econolodge room and the exterior looks run-down, but I was very pleased with the interoir. They just put in new flooring and the room was very clean. The beds and pillows were quite comfortable and the furnitire seemed newer too. There were a couple linens that it might be time to recycle, but overall I was quite happy. Even my child, who was anxious about staying at a budget chain, relaxed and was happy when we got into the room. The woman at check-in was very kind and gracious, and made me feel safe and welcome.

It was quiet for the most part. Staff fairly friendly. It has smoking and non smoking rooms. I nor my wife smoke nor do we like the smell. We were given a nonsmoking room (that’s what we requested) however, it smelled like smoke. I went and asked for a nonsmoking room, and they said that’s what we were given, but they gave us another room. That room also smelled like smoke. We went to the dollar store and got some febreeze spray, and some febreeze plug ins. It helped for the night. I did almost request my money back, but we stayed for the night.

I used a sanitizing wipe to wipe up a water spill. The wipe was BLACK. Clearly the floor hadn't been washed, if ever. The sheet had an oily stain on it at the top that was folded over. The room smelled like marijuana. I used Microban to sanitize the entire room. The t.v. reception kept cutting out. The outside room where the ice machine was smelled like urine. A good cleaning is all that is needed to make that good first impression.

Upon checking in, the woman stated that since I booked through Hotel.com there would be another $10 fee because they dont get all the money from third party booking sites. I tried to get a refund to go somewhere else and they would not refund anything. DO NOT book this hotel if you dont want to be upcharged for nothing. The bathroom was riddled with cockroaches, as (expected).

The biggest issue is that continental breakfast is advertised but all that is provided is coffee. If it's not available don't advertise it. I selected that one over others because i wouldn't have to get the kids out early. Even pastries would have been fine. Staff was friendly though and room was a good size.

The shower controls were reversed and did not function properly either super hot or cold water was your choice. AC struggled to cool room and had a rattle noise making it hard to sleep. Continental breakfast was either granola bar or honey bun, that’s it

The stay was okay but the booking through you guys hotel.com really sucked. We got to the motel and they didn't have no record of us paying for the motel. We had to go through a bunch of loopholes and hassles. I am going to look into getting a refund or a partial refund on this whole trip through hotel.com if you're out there. Beware

At 12:30am, someone tried to enter my room. The key opened the door and the only thing that prevented someone from entering my room while I was sleeping was that I chained the door. I woke up and informed the person trying to enter my room that I was occupying it. I immediately called the front desk and informed them of the situation. Took over an hour to fall back to sleep. No offer was made to reduce the room rate. Very disappointing.

I had to chexk in for 6 days because im waiting on my apartment to open. When checking in, she slammed her hand down and yelled "6 days!" She also charged me an extra $50 for a "deposit" that id better get back. Weve felt uneasy the whole time being here, afraid to ask for anything. My apartment still isnt done but im going to check out on time instead of paying more money. Id rather sleep in my truck

We were given the room under the stairs. It had bad Wi-Fi connection and it did not have a microwave as advertised. The breakfast was minimal. That said, it was the best priced motel in a wonderful town, it was clean and convenient to town, and we were lucky to get one of their rooms at all.

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Dining

Breakfast is frequently described as minimal or missing despite being advertised; offerings are often just coffee and packaged items, and sometimes even coffee or proper cream were unavailable. Do not expect a full continental spread.

No bed service, or note saying there would be none. Only changed towels and left. Very disappointed in that. All hotels in past where we have stayed, have had coffee going in lobby at all hours, this one did not. Had to go to gas station next door for cup of coffee outside of breakfast hours. Beds were so-so. Have had better and0p have had worse.
