What guests think

At Econo Lodge Wooster, reviews are highly mixed, with many travelers citing serious cleanliness problems such as pests, stained linens, and lingering smoke smells, while a smaller share describe acceptable, basic rooms and friendly staff at a low price.

Common facility issues include closed or musty pool areas, broken or blocked ice and vending machines, and an on-site bar noted by some guests. Service feedback is mixed, with some praising easy check-in and friendly staff, but many frustrated by unexpected cash deposits, slow responses, or difficulty getting refunds. Rooms are dated with frequent maintenance problems and thin walls, and bed comfort varies. Expect a budget stay with significant trade-offs.

Based on reviews I was not expecting much but pleasantly surprised. No breakfast and definitely a dive bar on premises (Only open Fri/Sat though). Room was more than adequate. Basic bar of soap and bottle of shampoo. Make sure to pay the incidental deposit in cash so you can do a walk through at check-out and get the deposit back. Don't expect Hilton level quality but I would stay again.

Needed a room late at night after a baseball game. The price shoulda been a giveaway. Room was dirty and gross. Only stayed cuz it was thru hotels.com and non refundable. The sheets were dirty under the covers. Floor had hair on it from other ppl. Floor tile (planks) didn’t even go all the way to the wall. About 1/2 inch short. Carpeted stairs outside to second floor were filthy. The toilet was really small and low to the ground. (Prob was a standard size back in the 80’s tho) water was VERY slow to warm up. No tissues in the room. Only 2 bath towels in the room. (Needed 3) Shower curtain was moldy, ICE machine was broken. Ice machine area was filthy dirty. Above the office was a “bar/club” it was loud and annoying. Glad my room was on the other end of the hall. If it came with any sorta breakfast it was coffee and OJ/Cranberry juice only.

Roaches in the room, in our drinks. Dead roaches on the walls that they never wiped off. Neighbors arguing outside at 11pm & deciding to blare their TV at 3AM. Had to walk from way back bulding (where our room was) all the way to the front of the bulding for ice because all the other ice machines were broken. Went to check out & the lady was sleeping in the office, so i had to call her & wake her up.

Needed to wash clothes during my stay bc power was out at home. Front loading washer door was ripped off of the front so you could not wash anything. I told the front desk person about this and he wanted to argue with me that the laundry was for employee use only. He called me a liar when I told him there was literally a sign on the door that said guest laundry. 👎

Found a roach on the console, which didn't have a TV, had to squash it, confirmed it was a roach. Abysmal conditions, sink had all kinds of dead bugs and debris, tub similarly but also filled with dust bunnies. Reserved room for 3, only had two sets of towels. Check in went smoothly, but the desk gave me a hard time about two extra pillows, when again, I had three people on two beds, with only two pillows per bed. I figured seven pillows across 3 people was not a very big ask, and pressed them until they gave in. No continental breakfast, filthy staircase, nonsmoking room smelled like smoke. Checkout was fast and easy.

This was just an overnight trip, and the hotel room was okay. The beds were not comfortable at all, as it was basically a mattress on top of a metal frame. The mattress kept sliding off the bed, and was very uncomfortable. This would be a place that we would stay at as a last resort.

WiFi is the only thing I didn’t like. My computer wouldn’t let me connect because their certificate is out of date. Otherwise, clean and comfortable. Better than the average hotel that charges over $100 more for a free crappy breakfast.

The property actually wasn't that bad, Mission Coffee Pot in king size room, toilet flooded ( called front desk for repair that was pretty timely) wasn't super inviting , area , or by appearance of hotel, but it wasn't that bad. information on room deposit that was told when checking in to information that was told when checked out , from the same person working the desk was different literally less than 24 hours . I'm not impatient but when I asked specific questios, because this has happened before and and was given a response and that changes in less than 20 hours I think there's a problem .inconsistency build doubt I doubt that I will be back to this place.

So, not supposed to be charged by the hotel after paying on the app. However, you will be forced to pay a $60 deposit that will be "refunded" even though mine is yet to be. They claim it is for damages that happen because according to them my card information is hidden by Hotels.com. I have pictures of the receipt and room.

This was not good. 4 rooms shown all in terrible condition. 3 Spiders in one, smell unbearable in one, broken mirror, broken tv and mud in tub, and air not working properly of one. And we ended up in one the toilet ran all night shower tub wouldn't drain and burn holes in all the bedding. In non smoking room. Started to check in and was told I had to pay $30 A night for my Little Dog. I left and had to come back, Being 9:30 pm. I went next door to Quality inn But forgot NO Quality Inns allow dogs even though everyone's sites list as they do.Econo lodge would not allow me an extra towel and wash cloth and was there 2 nights with child and dog. Bed was comfortable, old sheets seamed clean. Pool was ok. I could have stayed at a nice motel for the extra $60 charged for my dog. Down town Wooster has several unique eating options.

It was an ok stay but a little rough, could use some paint on the outside. The rooms were ok but could be cleaner in the bathroom. Quiet at night in the back. No continental breakfast, just coffee and juice. The only restaurant is McDonald’s. Over all the price was what I expected from the motel. Nice staff.

The card reader wouldn't take my card. I shouldn't have had to produce it though, since I paid online. Except there was a $50 damage deposit. Never had to pay a damage deposit anyplace else, which says to me their cliental may not be the best. We were supposed to get a smoking room, but when we got to our room, all the way in the back a good quarter mile, the room sign said no smoking. Couldn't find an ice machine. The sink had no hot water. There was no coffee machine in the room. And the continental breakfast that was advertised, wasn't. There was nothing except some coffee or juice.

Property is in a state of disrepair; in dire need of renovation. Refrigerator was intermittent. Expedia add features pictures of a breakfast area; no such area exists any longer. Owners have a very old memo on checkout counter that states breakfast service was terminated due to COVID concerns. Online photos show a neat, clean hotel; this is false advertising, today it is anything but neat or clean.
