What guests think

At Econo Lodge Dexter, reviews describe a budget, older property with very friendly staff but mixed room conditions, frequent maintenance issues, and a very simple breakfast, making it adequate for short stays rather than extended visits.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from clean rooms to musty odors and mold, with housekeeping inconsistencies. Facilities draw criticism for poor outdoor lighting, a rough parking lot, broken ice machines, and no elevator. Rooms are dated and sometimes have broken fixtures, small bathrooms, and occasional noise, though some guests find them comfortable or spacious. Expect a basic, no-frills stopover.

Needs better outdoor lighting and security. Not the cleanest or most up to date, but serves its purpose for a night or two.

It was so nasty, no ice machine the building was freezing and had a inch gap under door. One vending machine with a single bag of fritos. The only reason I accepted defeat was because I had just got to town after the first time I had ever flew. My absolutenumberone fear. I just could not complain on site. I just wanted to decompress not make myself more upset dealing with it. I almost went to hospital because my chest was hurting so bad from anxiety. It will not let me upload photos. I do have plenty. There was a pill bottle literally right at the corner of bed and table, and assuming for my sanity food on bedskirt!

It is convenient for me but there is no elevator so that makes it hard when traveling, the rooms and the place needs a lot of upgrades. The “ continental.” Breakfast even leaves a lot to be desired but again when you look at all the other places in Dexter this is still the better one. You just need more choices between Advance and Dexter or the place needs updated

I liked it had more things like microwave, refrig, than expected in a hotel of this price range. It was clean inside which is most important. I liked it had mopable floors in the room. In a pet friendly hotel, for someone with pet allergies, that is a good thing. When we drove up, the hedges and shrubs were overgrown and unkept. My mom made the statement. I hope they keep the inside better than outside. I think they did, but first look is not best; then when i went in to checkin, nobody was there. I rung the bell several times and i finally called the hotel number. He said he was doing an inspection and would be there in a few minutes. I was beginning to wonder if anyone was there.

If you pay more than $50 a night then your getting ripped off... An outdated hotel with no accommodations. It's two stories with no elevator, so if your on the second floor then expect to carry your luggage up two flights of stairs. Not much of a breakfast bar other than cereal, and don't expect much in the way of customer service.

The staff was friendly. The room was okay. The bedding was clean but floor was dirty, night stand had a small spill that was sticky and had not been cleaned. I always Clorox wipe everything down when I stay somewhere so that made it better. All furniture very old and worn down. I had to use the desk for work and sitting in the chair felt icky. Hot & cold for shower are backwards, I stood for 5 minutes waiting for hot water and right before I gave up I lowered handle to cold and it got very hot. Breakfast was coffee, juice, milk. Bread, packaged pastries, cereal and package yogurt. Overall it wasn’t terrible but I would probably only stay again if I had no other options.

The person that checked us in was very nice and polite. However, the room was not clean at all. There was mold in the shower, and the lid of the toilet had streaks where you could tell that they had sprayed it but not cleaned it. The TV channels were VERY limited and there was a musty smell in the room. Not the kind of facility Expedia wants to advertise.

When checking in, verify that everything works and the right number of beds are in the room. Tv didn’t work, furniture appearance is less than stellar and I ordered a 2 bed room and got one and a half.

This property should be avoided. Rude staff at check in. Toilet seat broke, couldn’t fix all day, had to move rooms. Walls paper thin, noisey. Had to wake up desk staff to set up breakfast at 6:40 when it was supposed to be available at 6:30. Cheapest toiletries provided. Holes in sheets. Should I go on? AVOID!!

Sheets were either dirty or stained, smoke detector in room was missing with the wires hanging loose from the ceiling, secondary lock was broken, there were dirty underwear and towels left in the bathroom, window glazing was falling off allowing rain and road noise into the room. At the breakfast area there was no coffee, no waffles and no bread to make toast. Don’t have seconds thoughts about staying here, complete filth and not as advertised.
