Reviews of Econo Lodge Cortland Downtown describe a very budget motel with convenient access to downtown and highways, but with widespread concerns about cleanliness, dated conditions, and a surrounding environment that often feels uncomfortable or unsafe, especially at night.
Many guests report dirty bathrooms, strong odors, pests such as bed bugs or roaches, and visible grime, with some also mentioning broken locks or fixtures. Service feedback is mixed—some found staff friendly and check-in easy, but numerous reviews cite rude or unresponsive interactions, refund disputes, and issues left unresolved. Breakfast is often advertised yet inconsistent or unavailable on weekdays, and late-night noise from other guests recurs; some travelers still valued the low prices. Expect a very basic stay with significant compromises.

Exterior areas are in poor condition, with cracked stairs and walkways, a rough or poorly lit parking lot, and occasional overflowing trash. The ice machine is sometimes broken, and snow removal has been inconsistent.

Breakfast is frequently inconsistent with listings: many found no breakfast or only coffee/juice on weekdays, while a few described a basic selection. Communication about availability (weekends only) is a recurring complaint.
