What guests think

At Econo Lodge Lebanon, many guests praise the friendly, accommodating staff and convenient location near I-40 and dining, but reviews repeatedly cite cleanliness problems, pest sightings (roaches and bed bugs), strong smoke or musty odors, and dated, poorly maintained rooms.

Common facility issues include an out-of-service or dirty pool, uneven maintenance, and limited amenities; laundry is available but capacity and machines can be a frustration, while parking is generally convenient. Breakfast is typically a small grab-and-go bag (often a warmed sausage biscuit with a bar and donuts), and several guests reported it missing or not as advertised. Noise from the interstate and late-night activity in the parking lot are mentioned, and some guests felt uncomfortable with the environment. Overall, expect a budget stay with trade-offs in upkeep and consistency.

Staff wasnt accommodating, my partner cannot walk up a flight of stairs due to back injury, and website stated that if I request for handicapped accessibility than they can accommodate me but that wasn’t the case. I called before arriving and immediately was met with rudeness, saying there’s none available. There aren’t even any elevators. Wifi does NOT work, and complimentary breakfast was in a brown paper bag, consists of breakfast bars, sausage biscuit that was probably frozen and heated up wrapped in seran wrap. Very disappointing.

Fix the washer and possibly figure out how to add more than 1 if you have 60 guests. A lot of addicts and violent guests. Wouldn't be my first recommendation. However the staff is absolutely excellent! This would be my only reason to recommend this hotel. When we first got here it was great but that changed very quickly. We were here 2 months so I think my opinion should be high on the list.

The check in was quick and easy. The gentleman working the desk was friendly and helpful. The room was dirty- smelled like old cigarettes, the bathroom had mold growing in the tub and the beds felt like the mattress lost ltheir use 20 years ago. Not to mention no use of the pool- theres a tiny pool with no water in it. This was some "bargain"

Well check in was good. Lady was very sweet. However, after night one, I wanted to sleep in my car the next night I woke up to find bed bug bites on my body. UUGHH I gave ya'll a shot and then this. Next night I took the sheet and blankets off. looked at the mattress cover and there it was a live bed bug. I am not a complainer, but ya'll should change out your mattresses every 6 months, and have the hotel fumigated monthly because of this! I stayed in room 106 if that helps at all? Spray it, fumigate it, and get rid of the mattresses.

The place was beyond filthy. When showed pictures of room to hotel staff they were less than concerned. There was toilet paper stuck to bathroom wall, a pile of hair in bathroom floor, a half used container of body lotion in vanity area. A cardboard box in an alley way would have been just as sanitary.

The pictures on the website are deceiving. Before arrival, I was sure to clarify that we were staying in a NON-Smoking room. However, entering our room it was a smoking room and the smell was horrible. Even after I called (a week prior to our stay) to verify we booked a non smoking room, they still booked us in a smoking room. The room was very dated and our room was not Clean. There were holes in the comforter. The floor was dirty, if you walked on the floor your feet were black from the dirt.

The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was dirty looking at the walls. Our bathroom door knob was broken and the TV remote wasn't working when we got there. We asked staff to look at remote as it was taped over the battery cover. They were nice enough to change the batteries and add more tape.. at any rate, the remote then worked. At 11pm our room's phone rang and when we tried to answer, there was no one there. This happened twice. We called the front desk to be told "we're having phone issues". Our solution was to unplug the phone. The staff was sympathetic to the phone issue but they had no answers as to what was going on or how to fix the problem. They said it happens only on the weekends.. The breakfast was a to-go bag with a sausage biscuit that was warm and not bad, and a couple of breakfast bars. They also offered us a pack of mini donuts. Overall, staff was friendly and welcoming but the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired.

Hate to slam this but the facility is OLD and really needs a major update to the rooms. Caulk is failing in and around the bath/shower. Toilet rocked and didn't flush well. No USB ports and wall lighting used plug vice in wall wiring. Building looked in good shape, just need to spend some monies to get it up to 2024 standards.

Check in was quick and easy, the front desk was awesome and friendly. The room is old and in need of updating. The walls were dirty. There was a used medication pouch in the sheets. The comforter and the blanket was dirty, there were hairs and stains in them. There was loud music and people driving through all hours of the night, with frequent marijuana smells coming into the room.

The lobby has been renovated but the room was very very old. I had to sleep in the middle of the bed because it was so broke down that I was rolling off the side. Also I reserved a king room but when I got there I was told they didn't have a king room available. I booked over a month in advance.

Everything was great until the day of check out. Housekeeping started knocking on the door an hour before check out trying to clean the room. They then knocked again at 10:45 and told us “it’s time to hurry” as we were packing our last few things to load the car. Front desk staff wasn’t all that friendly. Price and location were both good though!

The manager was amazing. Engaging and friendly. We came in really late and had to leave in a few hours, but he accommodated us. The bed was sooo comfy. I wanted to take the pillow!!!! He also gave us a close room on the ground floor. Two weary travelers, who got stuck in Nashville traffic for more than an hour and we desperately just wanted to sleep. VERY IMPRESSIVE AND WILL COME BACK!!!

The property is falling apart. The floors were so dirty that I threw my bedroom slippers away. I planned to stay 5 days but left to find a different motel. There were many long term residents who sat in chairs outside their rooms in groups. It did not feel safe to walk my dog at night.

Staff was helpful, found an iron and ironing board for me. Staying solo was a little uncomfortable with outside door. I forgot about that when I booked.

We were there three nights and there was no breakfast. There was coffee and orange juice and nothing else. The beds are hard, the bathroom door’s knob was coming off, and the sink faucet is too close to the lip of the sink to wash your hands comfortably. But the service staff were nice, the location is close to plenty of amenities, it was quiet enough, we felt safe, linens were clean, and the floors were not carpeted (yes, this is a pro for me).
