What guests think

At Econo Lodge McAlester, reviews describe a budget stay with friendly staff, inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, a simple breakfast that often disappoints, and rooms that can feel small or noisy, though some guests still report quiet nights and decent value.

For the price the place was great and the staff was very nice. This was not the first time we stayed there, either. The only thing was the shower didn’t work. Thankfully I only ran 6 miles and didn’t stink too bad.

Room was stuffy smelling when arrived. Got better the ac running. Needs update to bath. Comfy bed. Rather noisy with highway right outside door. Breakfast was ok but not excellent as described by other guests. Very little choices.

You get what you pay for. Our sink wouldn't drain. It was backed up upon arrival. The pipes in the wall sounded like we were about to take lift off when turning on the water and taking a shower. They kept $10 of my deposit when

I was there just to get a nights sleep. My only suggestion is the bathroom needs a good scrubbing next to baseboards. I understand it is an older establishment.

Bed was amazing. However hotel was dirty, baseboards, trim , and walls were dirty, not repaired and ripped materials. If you are looking to sleep only the bed was great. Everything else was not a good experience.

When you stay at a motel, the expectations are pretty low. However, the room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were great! Not a bad stay.

Locks to door was messed up , large gap in the door showing light through the crack-could probably see from outside into the room . Tv remote wasn't functional. Very loud due to highway traffic . For a last minute stay it served the prupose for a place to sleep but wouldn't recommended or plan to stay again.

The hotel was overpriced-I think because of the eclipse-I think they raised the price for that reason. I could hear everything happening in the office next door, the room next to mine and the room above mine. It was louder than normal hotel noises. I picked this hot for the free breakfast.(and there were very few rooms left and I didn\'t have a choice of dates.) I didn\'t expect much. They had a waffle machine, 3 or 4 cereals, bread, and some individually packaged pastries. I only wanted cereal so I got my bowl and went to get milk, but there was none. The desk clerk had stepped away (and no one was available to ask) so I grabbed my coffee and dry cereal to eat in my room. He must have come out because I got almost to my door and he chased me down to tell me there was no carry out. He said I HAD to eat in their "dining area". I explained that there wasn\'t even milk available so I was just going to eat in my room and he said I could not. (There was a table with chairs, a mini fridge and a microwave in the room. It wasn\'t about food in the room.) I was so flustered that I handed him the bowl and said that I just wouldn\'t eat. He tried to reiterate the rules and the selections but I just said I wasn\'t going to eat and I no longer wanted the cereal. The whole situation was ridiculous. I was not bringing extra food or trying to feed an extra person, I just didn\'t want to sit in a room with 4 or 5 tables, alone, eating dry cereal. The whole situation was bizarre.
