What guests think

Reviews of Econo Lodge Jefferson City describe a budget stay with friendly staff and occasional clean, comfortable rooms, but also widely varying quality from check-in through the stay, leading to very different experiences for different guests.

Across multiple reviews, floors were described as filthy, non-smoking rooms smelled of smoke, and hot water was unreliable or discolored, with highway noise or thin walls disturbing sleep. Several guests reported broken fixtures or missing items, loud or ineffective heating and cooling, and internet or televisions that did not work, while breakfast was often minimal or not provided. The location is convenient to the highway and restaurants, but some found the parking lot and surroundings sketchy and experienced check-in, key, or responsiveness issues. Expect a basic stay with notable inconsistency.

This room was disgusting. The floors turned my socks black and the internet didn't work at all. The AC unit was so loud that we couldn't sleep. I complained to the font desk and we were told there was nothing they could do as we booked through a third party. Very, very disappointed.

Well, the floor is disgustingly dirty, the bathroom door was missing a good portion of the panel and back. We were afraid to even shut the bathroom door doubt that he even could. They didn’t even wanna give us an extra pillow because there’s two of us there is no chairs in the room at all the only shining star was the late night night staff member and the woman that found my mom‘s cell phone now that that’s pretty much it. That’s the only good thing about that whole entire place and it took late night for that to even happen. I want to make it even better. The fire alarm went off in our room at like 1:30 in the morning and only in our room for no reason there is no fire no smoke no nothing I will never ever stay at that motel again.

I will attach pictures as pictures are worth a thousand words. The picture of the floor is after we had them come clean the floor. The dirty towel is what I used to clean tje floor after they mopped it. Opened th drawer in the night stand. Not sure what that was ,but not torching it. Breakfast was minimal. Advertised they would provide a cot, they could not. However, they did come up with a nice blow up mattress that worked. Realized there was no hairdryer, called the front desk they said I could get one in the morning. Went to front desk same person smiled and said they do not have hair dryers. Had I paid less than $100 per night maybe I would habe expected.less. Hotel Com should ne ashamed to have this hotel in their sight. Also the cabel tv did not work. And the outlets on the beside lamp did not work.

The hotel did not have hot water, understanding with the weather being so cold maybe something was froze. BUT what water did come out of any faucet was brown. There were bugs and nastiness everywhere. This was a last minute business trip and all 5 rooms that were booked was this way.

The check in lady was very nice. Told us up front the hot water was out but would be working later because of water heating trouble. Never did get hot water. Had to put water in cups and heat in microwave to take a sink bath. Only one wash cloth in room for 2 guest. And 2 towels.

Older motel. They’ve tried to update it but with limited success. Bedding was very thin… very noisy with traffic and other guests. Lady receptionist was excellent. The rest were useless. Breakfast was a joke… cereal with no milk… wouldn’t stay there again and wouldn’t recommend it unless you are hard up.. certainly is an Econo motel…😩😩😩

We reserved the room because it was a smoking room. When getting there we found out they no longer except that but nothing changed online. It supposedly was remodeled. When using the restroom the first time the toilet paper holder fell to the floor on pieces. There r a lot of sketchy people who hang out in the parking lot. And very loud. Then on our third day there our key wouldn’t work. Went to office and the door was locked during the day and no one there. Had to wait over 30 minutes for someone to show up to redo our key and she was very rude. They also were supposed to have a continental breakfast that was never put out any of the days. Not even coffee. I will not stay there again.

First, we had to wait for one hour and ten minutes before our room was ready. They double charge me I still have not got my money back. There were several flys in our room. No table or chairs in the room. Hot water was barely warm. The breakfast was a big joke! Will not recommend this place to anyone! I could go on, hope you get the picture!

1st hotels.com messed up my reservation so it took me an hour to check in. Then they gave me a room key to a room someone else was already in. That was crazy to walk in on someone. Finally I got into a room half the coffee pot was missing, the chair was stained up. I use hotels.com alot. I won't be anymore. It was ridiculous.

My Mother and I pulled into this property and immediately started trying to find another place to stay. It looked filthy! Furniture outside of all the rooms, the windows were so dirty you couldn't see the curtains from the outside. Trash all over the parking lot and two huge dumpsters overflowing. We weren't even going to go into the office.

After ringing the bell, and calling the line, the receptionist, I use that term lightly came to the front desk. We had awoken her from her slumber, and as such, she did not have time to put on a bra with her white tank top, nor put her teeth in if she had any After that, we found that there were several people living in the property and had moved some of their furniture outside to watch their children play all night long. We were provided with half of a trashcan, one towel and stayed for two nights. We opted to just leave and not even ask for a refund because it was too scary to approach anyone in the parking lot or reception area

Ummm it was a little sketchy at night. I’m a female traveling alone. There was a lot of men hanging outside of all ethnicities. The room itself was actually nicer than I expected. It had a tv mounted on the wall, a mini fridge and a microwave on top of it. The water in the shower was actually hot and I was able to take a long hot shower. The bedding I never slept on because I always bring my own, the mattress already had a zip on mattress cover so I was super happy about that. The bedding did have some weird stains and so did the towels. No daily housekeeping and no late check outs.

We pull into the parking lot and the first thing you see is people hanging out outside there doors just sitting there. Then of course you can look out your window and watch hookers coming and going with there johns. One girl had 5 johns in 2 hrs. Hard worker. The place is skid row dive.

First the staff gave me the wrong key and I had to go back to the office to get the correct key. Next, the smell entering the hotel room was foul, cigarettes mingled with harsh chemicals. I smelled like chlorine all day after taking a shower. There was nothing to stop sound coming in all night, trucks and motorcycles on the highway, conversations outside my door, even someone walking up the sidewalk. No services, no one changed towels, emptied trash cans, cleaned, straightened my bed, gave new soap and shampoo. I only ate the breakfast once because all they provide is stale cereal, bread for toast and a handful of rock-hard bagels. My advice, DO NOT STAY HERE!
