What guests think

Econo Lodge City Centre receives mixed feedback: guests appreciate friendly staff, on-site parking, and access to downtown, but report dated facilities, inconsistent cleanliness with odors and occasional pests, thin walls, and maintenance issues affecting air conditioning, locks, and in-room equipment.

Several reviews describe the immediate area as sketchy, with loitering and safety concerns after dark. Breakfast is generally basic or limited, though some guests found it better than expected. Accessibility is hindered by stairs and a lack of ramp or elevator for luggage, and parts of the property appear under renovation. Expect a budget stay where location and price trade off against age and upkeep.

Very quiet, staff was friendly and helpful and was in a convenient location. Liked the free parking. The building could use some upkeep but it was clean. The bed was super comfy. I unexpectedly had to stay in town another night and went back. I would stay again.

The hotel is in dire need of being knocked down or totally refurbished. Inside and out. For instance the ice machine not working, bed mattress shot, no sound on the tv, had to change rooms. I will not be booking there again.

When I went to check in, they had no record of my reservation, that 'Expedia hasn't entered the booking in our system'. They went on the Expedia portal and saw the booking. Luckily they had a room, but I will never stay there again. It was disgusting. Hallways smelled horrible. There was black mould all over the bathroom. The aesthetic is horribly neglected and needs a refresh. Nasty.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!! RUN!! To start the outside was dirty, and we had to go through a crowd of homeless people that were living against the side of the building in the parking lot to get inside. Inside the lobby was dirty. We got to our room and it was literally CRAWLING with Roaches and Bedbugs!! They were not only under the mattress, but swarming the walls, doors and hallways!! I have never seen anything like it! We immediately went back to the desk and told them we are not staying there and wanted our money back. The man behind the counter gave no argument but said I would need to get my refund from Expedia. As I was speaking to him another lady arrived from out of town to get her refund that she has been chasing as well. This place should be shut down.

We were surprised that the beds were well made, clean and comfortable. However, there was an empty bag of chips left in a drawer, a table that was not wiped down (had crumbs and a few pieces of garbage), an empty water bottle in the window, and a dirty toilet. Front desk service was great! They gave us a couple bottles of spring water and we’re always happy to greet us.

Originally We booked for 4 nights and we had to check out after the first night due to the terrible condition. We had to cancel the rest 3 nights booking . I am unable to contact Expedia for refund at this moment . Expedia hotline is a joke with waiting music only and no one answering

Screen misding from tge window abd just left invthe corner if the room. No place to hang up your clothes. The neighbourhood is very sketchy with many homeless and drug users. Would not feel safe after dark.

The front desk and housekeeping staff were friendly and pleasant/courteous and helpful. We had trouble with the TV and they came up right away to fix it. Our room was a little chilly the first night, they fixed it right away. The building is a little tired and could use a face lift. The people next to us talked and argued ALLNIGHT!! And we could hear a dog barking in a room nearby every so often. But all in all it served our need for the time.

Staff was great and the hotel is in a great location with lots of parking. The inside badly needs an update, there were small holes in the walls, and about half the furniture was a little broken. The first room we went to didn't have a working lock, and the room we stayed in smelled a little like cat pee (very odd). Bed was comfortable and it was clean at least. Definitely not worth the $300 we paid for the room, maybe get this place at a discount if you can.

Bad part of town way off the freeway. Ugly old rundown parking lot and building. Checkin clerk suggested parking in the middle of the lot so she could keep an eye on the car. Tiny bathroom with no vanity or counter. Multiple roach baits scattered around and roach spray in trash can in room. they didn't work but I killed 4 roaches in the morning. they put us on the second floor with no elevator for my wife with mobility issues. Couldnt pay me to go back.
