Econo Lodge Downtown

The staff is helpful. The location is convenient , the room is clean but small , not a lot of space. the breakfast contains only, a small muffin and juice and yogurt.

Parking onsite full of massive pot holes. Easy quick check in. Area leaves much to be desired but there is an excellant Iranian restaurant across the street. The hotel hallways and rooml had a strong odour like stale sour cooking. Bed covers and curtains had stains, carpet looked clean. Bed was comfortable and shower worked well. Large gap in front door at the bottom we had to put our coats up against. Bathroom was pretty run down, walls stained. "Breakfast included" was a brown bag with a yogurt, muffin and juice box. Coffee and tea in lobby.

Good: -Great location downtown with free parking and easy walking distances to main attraction. -Not too expansive considering other options, the free parking and the central location. -The room are large and well furnished. Bad: -The exterior of the hotel is really in a big state of disrepair. It does not feel welcoming and inviting. The parking lot is unclean and with potholes. -Although not horrible, the cleanliness of the room was not great. Some part of the floor felt unclean and sticky. -Some people in the area seem a little sketchy. There are a lots of cannabis shops. I think its a poorer neighborhood. I did not felt unsafe though since the hotel is on a main road. -My room was ok after inspecting it, but I checked the review after arriving and saw some critics about bugs (bedbugs and cockroach). You better watch out for these and take precaution. Don't leave your luggages on the floor or on the furnitures.

Ample parking, although the lot is in rough shape. The staff was lovely. A 15 minute walk to Byward market.

Nice
