Econo Lodge Springfield I-44

Please save your money. This place ught to be condemned. The only good thing about it was the check in, and the gentleman that helped us. The parking lot is full of feral cats and kittens, that we almost ran over. Cars/ people going in and out of specific rooms staying minutes at a time. Pretty sure there was a stolen car dumped there, too. No license plates, temp tag and the ignition looked broke. The room smelled musty and a lot like wet, dirty dog. The sheets were stained and had black hair all over them. The toilet rocked and the bathroom smelled like sewer. Better hope you're not taller than 5' or you'll be bending over to get under the showerhead. I'm 5'2 and was too tall for it. If it weren't for the tornado watch and bad weather we were trying to get out of, I'd have left, even if i lost my money.

Beware!! This location looks NOTHING like the photos. Absolutely NOT a family friendly place. The room was disgusting, visible dirt and debris all over the floor. Chair and bed linens stained with cigarette burns. Room smelled like body odor and stale ashtrays. It was suppose to be a nonsmoking room as well. I do not recommend this place even if you had no where else to stay. Sleeping in your vehicle is a better option.

Staff is wonderful. Place is filthy.

Dated hotels are ok with me, but bugs amd hair all over are not. The manager was nice enough amd we will be receiving a refund so no major complaint there. Its just a shame that we have to worry about bed bugs and uncleanliness so much when booking in advance and online.
