What guests think

At Econolodge, guest experiences vary widely, and opinions on value and reliability differ due to a mix of strengths and shortcomings across recent stays, leading travellers to report very different levels of comfort and satisfaction.

Many guests praised helpful front-desk staff and smooth check-ins, though some cited rude interactions, booking mix-ups, refund disputes, and hurricane overbooking. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms and no bugs to stained linens, smoke odors, dirty floors, and dusty areas. Facilities drew complaints about a closed or dirty pool, tired landscaping, and limited accessibility, while rooms feel dated, with reports of small or uncomfortable beds and Wi-Fi gaps in a renovated building. Expect a basic, no-frills stay with uneven consistency.

Customer service was friendly and answered my questions. However, the pool water looked dirty. Also, the bathroom sink area had no light so I had to keep the door open to see in the mirror while getting dressed.

Stay was not bad... only wish "Hotels/Motels" in general would be MORE Handicapped friendly! 1st floor ✅️ Enterance/Exit ✅️ ... Parking 🅿️ need more spaces! Beds 🛌 🛌 need to be lower for Handicapped person to get in & out of (I removed the wood frame under box springs so mom could get in & out of the bed! It was WAY too high for her! Then I put it back before I left. Also, need to have Handicapped toilets (higher) or have commodes available if needed! Regular toilets are TOO low! But THIS hotel we stayed at was great for non-handicapped ppl.

The pictures lie. The room looks clean in pictures but in the night table between the two beds is old crumbs of food. I pulled sheets back to check for bugs and the sheets are dirty. There is dirt all over the floor. The employee who checked me in was miserable and unfriendly. Don’t waist your time or money. The property has caution tape up in between the two buildings. The pics LIE!!!!!!

I pre-paid for my room, upon arrival attendant was friendly, but then put me in a room in a back building which was under renovation! Room was nice and clean but I had to walk through a walkway 150 ft from vehicle! After unloading all my stuff, took off work clothes and decided to check my phone messages , No Wi-Fi !!! Called front desk and the attendant said oh the internet hasn’t been connected yet to that building!! Other words she knew it when she gave me the room!!! So I had to get dressed and load back up to a room right by the office. Needless to say construction crew staying there fired up their trucks around 5 am!! All because of ignorance. Want go back!

The girl at the front desk was very nice. The room was very clean but my promblem was that we had a pet/ smoking room and the bed spread was gross cigarette burns and dirty it look like they found it in the bottom of a garbage can, understand it was a smoking room but $89 dollars a night I think you can afford something little better.

I booked a NON smoking king bed here & when I get there she said I booked a king smoking. I showed the confirmation clearly showing I booked non smoking. She then said they didn’t have any nonsmoking kings, but the parking lot was empty….. so she put in a full size bed…. Not a queen.. a Full size. I’m very tall! The beds also had the box spring in the mattress. It was so uncomfy, felt like I was just sleeping on springs. I let before the 2nd night. I find this scam to be weird. What’s the point of not giving me a big bed on an empty night? It was horrific. No comfort at all.

This was a disgrace to be a public business. We stayed one night and checked out. There was poor management because there was sex and drug dealers in action. The room was dirty and our king size bed only had 3 small pillows. The manager refused to reimburse my money that I had paid for the 3 days we did not stay. Please check into this and get my money!!

When we arrived, we thought we were at the wrong place because the pictures do not look anything like this motel. We did not feel safe as there were only two cars in the parking lot and the lights were flickering outside. We asked for a refund and let them know we did not feel comfortable staying here. They refused a refund and the manager or person speaking to me on the phone from the hotel was very rude and disrespectful.
