Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Forest

When we pulled up to our room, at the back of the hotel, there was a car parked in front our room with a women in it on the passenger side, just sitting there. She had an unclean appearance, the vehicle she was in was in rough shape. I know not everyone can afford nice things but it just felt off. We unloaded and left to get something for dinner. When we came back there was a guy in the drivers seat slumped over that you could tell was out of his mind high. Then another guy walked up from out of the bushes to the rear of the car and opened the rear hatch. Then it was clear that they were homeless. They didn't have a room. I kept looking out to see if they were messing with my vehicle. As more guests arrived they left for awhile then came back and slept in the car in the parking lot. I hate that I'm writing this and know I may sound up-ity but I assure you all I feel is blessed that I'm not in their shoes. Had they not been high I may have offered some help. I've delt with folks like that in the past it has not turned out well. So with that said we idn't feel safe there, the room itself wasn't terrible there were no bugs and I checked the bed to be sure. The pool was poor and unworkable condition. The free continental looked ok but the juice machine had a brown slury in the bottom of it so I didn't partake in any of it and am not regretting it. This was the last time I'll be giving the Econo Lodges a shot. The price was under 100 for a night but I worried all night long.

I would never go back to this hotel. I prepaid for a non Smoking room. When I arrived I was impressed with the condition of the property, but that was it. The front desk told me that I had persevered a smoking room (wrong) he stated that’s all he had. I informed him that I had my service dog with me, he wanted me to pay a pet fee. ( I didn’t) the following morning around 9:30 my husband and I was getting dress and the door opened up . ( it was the housekeeper) my husband yelled “yo” she closed the door and left. Next my husband received a call asking did we have a dog and how we needed to pay. Well I went to the front desk and told them I wasn’t paying nothing. For one your not suppose to be charged for a service pet, 2) I reserved a non smoking room 3) why is your housekeeper coming into someone’s room before 11(especially since we hadn’t turned in the key) I was told that anyone that comes with a pet is automatically put in a smoking room.( check there reviews Im Not the only one )

When arrived in the room there was a ball of hair on the sheets (not ours) and cigarette burns on the bed cover and blankets. I called the front desk to ask for these to be fixed. Her reply was "housekeeping is gone; I'll come see what it is." Upon the worker arriving in the room she dusted the ball of hair off the sheets and pulled the covers back up and said "all clean". She pulled the bed covers off and brought a clean blanket. We asked for 2 extra pillows. She said we would have to come get them. I walked to the office to get the two pillows, where she said it would be a $15 fee per dog and that I didn't tell her we had dogs. I told her 1.she never asked. 2. The motel is pet friendly and I was never informed of the fee. 3. The 2 small dogs will remain kenneled all night. The desk worker got an attitude and said there is a fee per dog and I can pay it or leave. I asked if I could get an immediate refund. She stated "yes". However upon checking out immediately, she said it would be two to three days before I would get my refund. Upon leaving there was a dead bat in the parking lot! #rabies #disgusting room rate was over $90 with taxes

My stay was fine, since I only stayed 1 night. I appreciate the facility being pet friendly and the parking was fine, the facility was also next to several eateries which was convenient. It however really needs updating examples; 1. Baseboarding was separated from the wall in a few areas, 2. The shower curtains need updating ( in my room) they were tattered and shower rod barely hanging on the wall, 3. I saw what looked to be mold in the ceiling of bathroom, 4. Bed linen needs updating. All in all they stay was still do-able for what I needed and maybe an option should I need a room quickly.

The stay was terrible we have a emotional support dog thay is registered amd they still tried tk get me tl pay for him after they charged me twice one on my card and then i paid cash and they wont refund my money.

Reserved a non-smoking room 2-bed room, but given a nasty smelling smoker's room. When i complained to the front desk they blamed Hotels.com and said they were full. The next morning I asked for the manager who informed me it was Hotels.com's fault, but they weren't full and moved us to a king room with a couch for my son to sleep on for the remaining 2 night's stay. Their breakfast was a joke and their pool was green and disgusting. I will never stay here again.

First room had roaches and a lot of wall damage and shower fawcet was loose in the wall. Not cleaned well. Second room we got after a night in the first room was better. Still not really clean but no roaches and less damage. The stairs and walk way were very dirty and trash like cigerettes laying all over.

Black mold everywhere no working smoke detector

The property was in poor condition. Mostly the bathroom was realy bad. Even had 4 different bugs in the bathroom

Room was dirty and it had a bad smell to it!! Bed was hard

People above us were so loud all night we couldn't sleep and there was mouse

We were in 108 forest ms. We lifted the direct tv box and roaches fell out. The bathroom had hair all behind the door wall and floor the sheets on the bed was just remade not replaced the worst stay I ever had and I will tell anyone. I can for a special visit to see my mother from Texas and it was the worse stay I should have just booked the holiday inn. I will never make this mistake again. We had to go by blankets and air freshener and disinfectant spray I already paid for the room and I didn’t have xtra to get another hotel so I had to stay here three nights in this.

The room was filthy, black mold on ceiling, falling apart, zero room service for a 5 day stay and when I had to go get coffee, towels, etc, staff was unfriendly and rude.

The stain on the ceiling is horrific

The mattress was horrible it felt like my wife & I was sleeping on Springs I had a backache out of the world we rented for 2 nights but we left after the first night we couldn’t take it anymore

Door needs to be replaced

A lot of room updates needed

Needs some remodeling look like someone was laying in bed before we got there and tv remote needed replace had trouble working it

The television wouldn’t work. Some Roku crap that just wouldn’t show any shows. Terrible. The breakfast had all the eggs and sausage gone by 8 am or before. And no staff around to even ask any questions

Furniture was broken and the lock on the door was damaged so yeah definitely wouldn't recommend it if you want to be safe

At $100 per night less than other properties in the area, the EconoInn was perfectly serviceable. Our double room was a good size. The down sides were the group standing outside our room drinking and no hot water in the morning (though we had it in the evening.)

Hard bed cold food not enough towels

A lot of work needs to be done to thw rooms

IT needs to be updated. The hotel looks good from the outside but the room needs to be remodeled and. Paint and fixed the walls fixtures need to be up.

Warning! We left a day early because the front desk woman cussed out my wife for demanding nonMOLDY toilet paper. We felt unwelcome/unsafe and as if we were a burden to her. Her unprofessional behavior in addition to the poor condition of the room was just too much. Avoid this place, you’ll be better off sleeping in your car.

I booked 3 rooms for the evening with 4 guest for each room. One room came with only 1 towel and the other with 2 each. We were given a total of 4 extra towels when requested. When I asked for more I was told that there were no other towels available and that guest are responsible for bringing their own. Found blood on the mattress in a room and the staff refused to give us a new room as they were full (although they continued to book rooms in front of me while I waited for them to come see the dirty room. Once he did he offered to change the blanket, but at that point the family in that room booked another hotel. Another room the toilet would not work and when I looked in the take to see if it was just the float I found a rag inside. I was told that out of three rooms I had three problems and that people never complain about them… we took the two towels from the dirty room to the other with one towel and got a call to both of the remaining rooms about 30 min later asking if we stole the towels. While in the lobby waiting on them to come look at the dirty room another gentlemen came in for what seems like not the first time to get help with a broken tv. There were several men loitering outside drinking and talking until very late. When we left in the morning we seen that the room with the blood had been booked. This was turkey an extremely disappointing experience.

Jasmina was very pleasant.

The stay was terrible we have a emotional support dog thay is registered amd they still tried tk get me tl pay for him after they charged me twice one on my card and then i paid cash and they wont refund my money.

This place is a complete dump! I rented a non smoking room and when I arrived at this pathetic property they gave me a smoking room and told me it was my fault. I went right across the street to holiday inn and had a very good non smoking room. They also kept my money. DONT STAY HERE

It was wonderful and staff was very welcoming

Staff was very rude

They friendly and helpful staff

Easy access and easy to come a good. Great location

Very quiet safe and affordable

When I made the reservation, under special instructions, I put I needed a downstairs room due to the fact I have had a double knee replacement. When I checked in and mentioned that I was told “oh no, we don’t have anything downstairs”😡. I called front desk to ask for more towels and pillows and was told “come get it” The floors were not very clean. My 16 month old grand baby’s feet were filthy from running around the room after a bath and so was mine. We had to clean our feet from the bed.

Quiet room

I like the location do not like the rooms that much because they're never clean enough and need new appliances there's always something wrong with the microwave & refrigerator.... I do hope this helps

At $100 per night less than other properties in the area, the EconoInn was perfectly serviceable. Our double room was a good size. The down sides were the group standing outside our room drinking and no hot water in the morning (though we had it in the evening.)

Toilet was not working properly. Room smelled bad. People outside drinking. Bathroom door didn’t close

It was a nice cozy quiet room awesome bed soft as cotton but the toilet and shower both was nasty and there was a leak at my door coming from the air conditioner in room 218 the kitchen had gnats flying all over the food oh and let’s not forget the D**** paraphernalia My girlfriend found in the toilet I wish I could get a refund or another 2 more nights for free but it’s cool I didn’t push the issue

The television wouldn’t work. Some Roku crap that just wouldn’t show any shows. Terrible. The breakfast had all the eggs and sausage gone by 8 am or before. And no staff around to even ask any questions

Hard bed cold food not enough towels

Still frozen eggs the sausage was cold waffle batter was not thick enough was like water had fruit flies in the juice hairdryer near the restroom has a dirty screen on the back

Well i should have told them if i was gonna have roommate they should pay for part of the room..there was 4 roaches running around in the room..the breakfast was bad...i went to get breakfast before i left,they were out,told the clerk..he filled the pan with sausage,eggs,and a thing of bacon and put it in the microwave,not sure how many minutes..he takes it out open the warmer and he used his hands to put every piece of food in the warmer,worse part it was still cold and hard..i waa disappointed in my stay to say the least...i wont go back and i dont recommend it unless you dont mind these things..

There were two TV controls only one of whiched worked on the Roku TV. It was unfamiliar to me, so finding channels to watch was a chore. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good including waffles, sausage, bacon, eggs, yogurt, muffins.
