What guests think

Econo Lodge Little Creek draws mixed reviews, with many appreciating clean, updated budget rooms, friendly staff, easy parking, and a convenient location near beaches, restaurants, and base access, though experiences vary by room and time of stay.

Common drawbacks include very firm mattresses, noise from guests or nearby roads, and occasional smoke or weed odors in nonsmoking rooms. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with repeated notes about hairs, stains, or dirty linens, and a few reports of roaches or suspected bedbugs. Breakfast is not provided beyond lobby coffee, and amenities are basic. Overall, expect a simple, low-cost stay that can be comfortable if you get a good room.

There was plastic left on the windows from painting and didn’t appear recent, however, I do appreciate their efforts to improve the exterior of the building. There was a red/brown stain on the bottom bedsheet cover. We were really shocked at how hard the beds were, they really need to put some kind of cover on those. I think anyone would agree. The room was in good shape except The area is supposedly not safe, cannot confirm. For over $150 I would expect a little more, from the beds if nothing else. Overall a solid 2 star. We only stayed here because it was close to the bridge.

I like the hotel. For me, I deserved what I paid for. The beds were clean, WiFi worked, air conditioner worked, the bathroom was clean and there were security cameras around. These matter to me. The receptionist was welcoming, too. I, however, will suggest that the steps to the upper floor needs to be clean thoroughly.

I had a good stay. Nothing fancy, but everything you need. Plenty of parking and well lit. A little noisy but I'm sure the 2nd floor is much more quiet. My room was directly behind the office, so I was ok with a little noise because I felt safe that close to the attendant. I would stay again.

Wow. Do not judge by the exterior. Outside needs a facelift, but the rooms are completely upgraded and remodeled. Very clean, and location was great. Staff was very friendly.

Outside was a little rough, the neighborhood and the hotel. The rooms were pleasantly updated and pretty clean. The beds, on the other hand, were rock hard. Our overall experience was fine. Price was right.

Seemed to have newly updated rooms. Nicer than you would expect if you have stayed in other Econo Lodges. Good Location with couple minute walk to Grocery, Beach, gas station, Mcdonalds and restaurants. Room had refrigerator, Microwave and cable TV. Only complaint would be Non-Smoking Room had faint smell of smoke, especially once turning on PTAC (A/C) unit.

I didn't like the fact that there was an unidentifiable stain in the bathtub that turned us off to even taking a shower. Good thing we live less than two hrs away and could shower when we got homw. But if thats not your situation. That may a big turn off for you.

We reserved a nn-smoking room, well I dont think they have any nonsmoking rooms. our room smelled so strong of weed. they staff was kind enough to RE-SPRAY the room, which made the room smell worse. We asked for some coffee grounds with filters and we laid some around the room. Staff looked at me like I was crazy, but it really works, By the time we came back from dinner the weed smell was better, and our room smelled like a coofee shop instead of a hooka house. The other issues were the bed linen had long hair everywhere. and there was sand in between the sheets? This lenen had not been changed! Pillow cses looked ok. houseskeeping was kind enough to bring us fresh linen. Hotel was loud. Never Again!

Overall stay is great the staff is good only a few guys speaks english but their friendly. The room is okay overall however there is stains in 2 of the pillows cases, and shower curtain, sink has hair from previous guests and 1 of the towels has blood stains in it. Its close to a road and noisy so if your a light sleeper maybe getting a room in the back of hotel is less noisy. They need to do a better job spotting stains on towels, and beddings stuff and replacing it with a new one and this hotel will be great. No breakfast only coffee! The area seems safe I got back in my room late in the evenings and I didn't feel threatened but a few homeless walks around day and night.

Although the rooms were clean it definitely not worth what we paid per night. The headboards in our room creaked with any movement. The beds were so very uncomfortable and hard, it would have been better to sleep on the floor. The sheets were clean but the blanket and beadspread were thin.

Bed was comfortable, room was clean, clerks were pleasant. Unfortunately some rowdy guests were making so much noise all night I couldn't sleep. I tried calling the desk to ask them to settle those people down, but my call never went through. Being an old guy I didn't want to get dressed and go confront those people myself Finally around 3:30 the noise subsided. We were checking out around 5:30 AM so I asked the night clerk why he never picked up on my calls and he said the phone never rang and he didn't hear the commotion. I asked how I could request a refund and he gave me the manager's name. I just got home from my trip and plan to call the manager right away.

This hotel was gross. They didn't change the sheets, blankets or pillow coverings from the person/people who stayed in the room before us. All the bedding smelled like bad body oder. My wife asked the person at the front desk for an extra towel (they only gave us two small towels) and the front desk person gave her attitude and didn't want to give her an extra towel. The bed was hard as a rock. We thought we were sleeping on a box spring. Stay away!! This hotel is horrible. On top of it all, we cut or stay short, they still haven't refunded the unused nights and instead charged us for an extra night. We were supposed to stay three nights, we only stayed one night, and they charged us for four nights.

The property was not too far from beaches, places to eat and some local shopping. Although my room was ok for the stay the amenities are basic so don't expect too much. You will be about 20-30 mins from everything you can do nearby. You can also venture out to neighboring cities for more excursion and activities depending on your lifestyle. The beaches are relatively close but next time I'm staying on the Bayside no matter the cost just for the convenience. Overall it's still a nice getaway!!
