What guests think

Across recent reviews, Econo Lodge Rome South is described as a basic, budget-friendly stop with generally quiet rooms and some courteous staff, while recurring complaints focus on strong smoke odors and inconsistent cleanliness in hallways and bathrooms.

Multiple reviews note that advertised breakfast was unavailable, the property lacks an elevator, and the location can feel far from food or shopping. Service feedback is mixed, citing occasional long check-ins and rare instances of staff entering without knocking alongside some positive interactions. Rooms are basic, with some comfortable beds but recurring maintenance shortcomings such as loose outlets, missing door locks, flat pillows, and improvised shower replacements. Overall, expect a no-frills stay with meaningful compromises in amenities and upkeep.

Great check-in. Clean room. Friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t like was being on the third floor since they only have stairs as far as I saw

No breakfast as advertised… no milk, cereal, or even juice or coffee… huddle house made the morning not horrible, but it shouldn’t be advertised if you aren’t going to at least offer cereal or drinks even… vending machine was not working either which made for tough drink situations with no ride

I could not stay at this location again. The smell of cigarette smoke was too much inside the facility. We had a nonsmoking room and thought perhaps the room itself would be better but you could still smell it strongly. Once we turned on the air conditioner, it smelled of old moldy musk and stale cigarette smoke. We were so tired, we made the best of it but are paying for it now with my allergies. We would not stay there again.

The hotel is fine for a cheap overnight stay. Nothing fancy but it’s clean and check in is easy. The stairwell does have a heavy cigarette smoke smell, but no strong smell in my room.

It smelled terrible in the hallway, and not much better in the room. The shower curtain was very mildewed, and it was one that could have easily been removed and washed. There were no bedbugs, so I guess that's something. It was cheap, which is the sole reason I'm not rating it only one star.

This hotel did not offer any breakfast service. Hallways were not clean and there was an odor of marijuana. Towels in the bathroom were gray because they had not been sanitized. The sheets were clean and the bed was decent but those were the only positives.

It took three people almost 20 minutes to check me in due to some technical issues. The hallway leading to the room had a very musky smell. Room was kinda ok. There was no bathtub. It looked like someone who didn’t know what they were doing in took the tub out and plastered a tub size shower. There was no chair to sit on except a desk chair.

The room served its purpose.The bed was comfortable. Good place to lay your head, not great if you are looking for anything extra. Could definitely use some upgrades, towels were thin and the shower liner was in desperate need of replacing!

The lobby smelled like 3 day old curried carp with the aroma of 20 year old incense. The room appeared to be clean until the roaches came out at 10:30 pm. There were roaches everywhere and the curtains appeared to have semen on them. I reached out to the owner with no luck. While brushing my teeth the German cockroaches marched out from under the tub like the N. Korean army. I refused to take my flip flops off except to use them to kill the roaches on the walls….. We slept less than an hour before a soccer tournament the next morning…HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I couldn’t get in touch with anyone to complain. After we checked in the owner left and no one was in the office at 7am when we left.
