What guests think

At Econo Lodge Truman Inn, reviews describe a worn, budget property with widespread cleanliness problems (dirty bathrooms, stained linens, odors, and pests), frequent maintenance failures (TV, AC, locks, outlets), and disappointing breakfast, though some praise the convenient location.

Many mention under-maintained facilities, including a cold or closed hot tub/pool and ongoing renovations, plus noise and security concerns. A few guests found rooms clean or spacious and liked the powerful showers and pet-friendly policy, while several highlighted courteous front-desk help. Expect a very basic stay with significant wear and inconsistent quality.

The property appears to be in the process of being rehabilitated. Although there is a pool and hot tub that have water in them, the water in the hot tub is cold; and the water in the pool is warmer. That did not change during my two day stay, despite the fact that the staff said that condition would be corrected. Disappointing, at best.

When i first checked in, they were aware that i had 2 service animals with me (the older one is training the younger one) she asked me 1 more question than was allowed but i let it slide. Ive never stayed in a hotel where they asked any questions. Then she said she would put us in a room close to the doors so it would be easy to take them out. It was close to the door, but still felt like half a mile walk to the grass. It smelled like weed in the hallway everyday. Breakfast was a joke. Old fruit, bread and bagels (plain) they did have a waffle maker, but the waffles were flat as a pancake. You would have to flush the toilet at least 10 times before it would finally flush. Dont bother with the hot tub. Its make 10° F warmer than the pool. We asked her to fix it once, she said she would, but it didnt change. The lady was polite and helpful, but i would keep looking. It used to be a very nice hotel, but its going downhill. Dont let the pictures fool you. The rooms look nothing like them, your tv is tiny. And everything is unplugged, everything, so if you put something in the fridge, make sure you plug it in. I prob could have overlooked a lot of it, if the hot tub worked, but that was a lot of the reason i chose this place.

I want a refund. In the door we encounter a spider in the sink. We flush it and the toilet doesn’t flush. No TV working as internet was down. We went to complain but couldn’t check out as the internet was down. They were mad at us for wanting to leave but we stayed as we already had tickets to the Fair. We were on the second floor with no elevator. The ice machine across the hall did not work. The rates were inflated due to the Fair in town.

The pictures online make it look bright and cheery. This place is badly in need of repairs. Ceiling by the pool is leaking water and exposed insulation. We didn’t use the pool for that reason. The hallways smell like cigarettes. The rooms smell musty. The tv was missing a power cord and we asked for one several times even left and came back and no cord. Overheard other guests saying they had terrible cleaning too and wanted refunds. The whole facility doesn’t look like it has been vacuumed in months. For the price I would have expected a much better quality. For this type of room I would expect to pay like 50 bucks a night. It was too late to try and find another place so we stayed. Took 2 hours to get the cord. The lady at the desk was fielding a lot of complaints and actually made time to get it her self

The front desk line took 30 minutes. Then later on- no one was even at the desk to buy a water. The bathroom light is like a strobe light and goes out when in the shower. The tv is glitchy so there isn’t even a show we can watch. Pool is INCREDIBLY SMALL. Sauna wasn’t working. There is no fitness room and I’m not sure how breakfast is but we won’t stick around to see.

The TV didn’t connect to any provider or service. The AC was so loud I couldn’t sleep, plus I was next to the loudest ice machine ever. The sheets smelled, the tub was dirty and the weird bottle opener attached to the sink was covered in rust. The absolute WORST POOL I’ve ever seen. There are slot machines in the lobby.

Booked this for the state fair to see a concert for a one night stay, the photos online definitely are not accurate. For the price definitely a rip off. This place is filthy and like a halfway house for long-term living drug addicts and low income, it smells terrible. The room conditions are disgusting unknown stains on the walls, old toothpaste spit in the sink, blood stains on the sheets, and definitely not clean. Contemplated driving hours back home instead of sleeping here or sleeping in our car. We slept on top of the sheets with blankets we had in the car. I came here alone with three kids, so I didn’t want to risk falling asleep driving back from the concert did not sleep well. None of us did because we were fearful of the bugs that may be crawling on us even though I did check for bedbugs. I talked to some mutual friends at the state fair, they said they fell for the pictures too not sure what room that is, but it wasn’t the one any of us stayed in and they had issues with cockroaches When they were there. Would never stay here again.

This was one of the poorest hotel experiences I have ever had. The bathroom still had someone else's tennis shoe print on the floor, a bug crawled across the floor as well. The bed sheets had multiple stains, and even holes in the comforter. Despite the pool water itself being mostly clear, the room was horribly damp, rusty, and extremely dirty- everything from the walls to the floor had trash, dust, and dirt on them. In the evening, a group of men were TAILGATING in the parking lot outside of our window- loud music and drinking, and my kids couldn't fall asleep. Finally, at breakfast, our kids made pancakes and said they tasted sour- only to realize the batter had spoiled. Do not stay here.

The hotel room was ok considering the price, but the bathroom was disgusting! There was a used bar of soap in the shower with someone else’s body hair on it. There was someone else’s hair on the conditioner bottle. The air conditioner sounded like a rocket taking off. When we talked to the manager about it she said maybe we were just light sleepers. The curtain was broken so couldn’t be closed all the way which let tons of light in. The television didn’t work. The phone didn’t work. There was a dog across the hall that started barking at 6 am. When I went to the front desk, because the phone didn’t work, they said they don’t have control over people’s pets. We didn’t have high expectations due to the price but that was way worse than expected.

The pictures are very deceiving. This motel has been run down and needs serious upgrades. Our door screeched so loud when we would go in and out. It was embarrassing. The TV's are super small as well. We left early and stayed at the Holiday Inn. Totally worth switching thats for sure.

The food wasn’t bad decent grab and go style options and waffles but the juice was waaayyy watered down. Room itself not bad but the comforter had distinct cigarette burns in them. Have stayed there a couple times and this was the worse. I am usually pretty chill but it just isn’t worth saving $100 bucks anymore.

The manager Woman was very rude from the beginning because we booked through hotels.com. she charged us $30 extra for our children who weren't coming to stay until the next day when at the most we should have been only charger $10. They condition of the hotel was horrible. Safety issues everywhere. Sprinklers covered with plastic bags. No locks on the outside doors. The hot tub wasn't working the the suana wasn't "in season" in late November. The vent in our bathroom didn't work. There was no phone in our room. Burn holes in the comforters. Paint touch ups done with spray paint

When we first checked into our room, the door was ajar. Looking inside the beds were not made. We were given another room. We did not have enough bath towels for our party of four. The following morning, when we went to breakfast, someone went into our room and stripped one of our beds. We were not ready for checkout yet. We had a do not disturb sign on our door, but that did not seem to matter. l

I love the fact that they still provide breakfast and for good times they have breakfast available it's from 5:30 am to 8:30 am for people who have to be at work early or later in the morning it's very convient and the TV in my room was not working when I called the front desk they said someone would be here to help shortly and in a matter of minutes they were knocking on my door to replace the bad TV with a good working TV it was very fast and good service.
