When we checked in they tried to say that a third party denied payment, which wasn't true the money had done come out of our bank account. The floors you couldn't tell they were dirty but they were nasty my daughter's feet were black as an ace of spades. On one of the outlets on the wall a backing of some kind of medication telling you to take as prescribed was stuck to the electric outlet. Very outdated. No soap at all to wash your hands after using the bathroom, thank goodness we had soap in our bags. No trash bags in the trash cans, the dumpster outside was so full of trash that it was all over the ground like they haven't paid a trash bill.

Cleanliness

Cleanliness is a frequent concern: dirty floors and carpets, lingering smoke smells, stained or burned linens, and recurring reports of roaches and bedbugs; some guests, however, did receive acceptably clean rooms.

While the front desk staff were friendly and accommodating, the room was filthy. Within 10 minutes our socks were completely black from the floor. The baseboards and corners of the room were disgustingly dirty. Our sheets and blanket had cigarettes burn holes and stains. Exact reason we bring our own. The bathroom, even though missing a light cover, was clean. Thankfully we were only there to shower and sleep while there for a concert in Cincinnati, so I didn’t make a big deal out of it. But, I won’t be returning to another econolodge.

There was nothing to like about the experience, our group reserved 3 rooms and only to find out the place was infested with bedbugs. Don't waste your time trying to save money with this place. Unless your into that kind of thing.

I honestly wish i had good things to say. But thdidnt stay at place was so bad. My family and i did not stay there. I got a refund. One room was so invested with fleas. And the other room was just as bad. Mold on the sheets. The ceiling was leaking. water all over the bed. Nasty dirty floor. My opinion i would shut them down.
