Econo Lodge Forest City

They advertised a swimming pool, but it had been closed for a long time.

This was by far, the most filthy hotel I have ever stayed in. The bathtub was filthy. The shower curtain was gross. The towels were threadbare had a Holiday Inn logo tag; comical!) The sheets had stains. The photos on the hotel website showed a coffee maker, there was none. There was an ironing board, but no iron. Not, one, single coat hanger. No housekeeping, bed was never made. I was charged $86 per room (2rooms) and when I made a polite complaint, I was told ‘no refunds and I was literally screamed at by not one, but two managers. The chair was filthy, with stains. There was no clock or phone. It was a hideous room; a $40 room, at best, yet I was charged $82 dollars. The ice maker had mold growing on the dispenser. The snack machine was completely empty. The was garbage piled in front of my room for 3 days. Cigarette butts everywhere. My credit card was billed and after being told no refunds, I had little choice to find another hotel. The website offered free breakfast, which was non-existent. The pool was atrocious.

Good price. Room seemed newly updated. Still looks like renovating. Road needs some potholes fixed. Lot people noise coming through-not sure inside other rooms or outside

Pool was closed, vending machien was completly empty, gym was not 24 hours like advertised and got eaten up by something. Also on our second night there we got woken up by a crash in our room. And found that the headboard on the wall behind our heads had fallen down. Luckly it just slid down in between the bed and the wall.

My stay was for business purposes. I arrived late at night and left early. The room was clean and comfortable. Albeit the hotel was obviously an older one, the room was clean and everything worked fine. Both front desk clerks with whom I had interactions, were friendly and professional. I do have to say that, even though I arrived too late to use the pool, it was not only out of service, but also served as a large frog pond.

The room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were minimal. No coffee in the room Drinks and snacks were minimal at the vending area also.

The property is run down. There is an 8ft wide pot hole as you enter. The bed was not comfortable. The pool has stopped up liner so that is not in use. I saw the police come to the property 3 different times in one night. Thought I would give it a try but won’t be back

It's an old motel wich was painted on the outside for the looks. Lobby was redone but all the rest should have been changed. It looks awfull. I have been in much nicer Econo lodge.

Dirty

Not really clean. Was a few pregnant roaches in my room and it just had a slightly moldy smell. Not well taken care of at all .but it was a place to sleep for a night.

Filthy

. The customer service is horrible. The night clerk had a very disgraceful attitude. I called her about my tv not working, her response was “Ok” then hangs up the phone. Then I called back to see if I got a better response but it was only “OK.. what you want me to do? Then hangs up again. The microwave didn’t work, towels were dirty, baby roaches crawling in bathroom along with other bugs.

For the location (Forest City/Spindale) and the price per night, I was blown away. I thought for sure with how cheap it was there would at least be roaches in the rooms? But they were very clean, staff was friendly, and I would be happy to stay again. However, just know going into it that this isn’t the Hilton or some other upscale hotel, it’s affordable, and they do this very well.

Great stay, the room was clean and the staff was great.

The worst hotel that they have recommended to me. The bathroom is dirty, the toilet has urine inside and around the edges, no toilet paper, no towels, the shower has used soap and is full of hair. I made a complaint and nothing happened, and to top it off they wanted to charge me a $100 deposit and the room cost me $113. It is really an abuse. I regret having lost my $113. Please do not recommend it anymore.

I would love a refund left as soon as i walked in room blood all over sheets transfered me to another room same thing. said no refund

The room was dirty. Dead insects by the window. Let’s not even talk about the smell of weed either. Rooms look nice but honestly not worth it.

It was clean and water was hot for a shower.was not sure about the bed spread on the bed.yellow and stained.i didn't user it.no cell phone service and internet wouldn't work.convenient to eateries and stores.mostly quiet.if you are on a limited budget it gets the job done.no daily house keeping.

The tv wouldnt work, no sheet on one of the beds, and called front desk noo answer

Good price. Room seemed newly updated. Still looks like renovating. Road needs some potholes fixed. Lot people noise coming through-not sure inside other rooms or outside

This place is a great stay! Clean rooms besides a pinkish stain on one of the blankets, but didnt come off as dirty just random. Full directv and great quality picture. Good microwave and fridge. The staff is kind and they give you your privacy. There is a lot of food choices nearby. Overall, just a nice experience.

There was over an inch gap under the exterior door and the walls were insanely thin. I could hermit EVERYTHING from the other rooms and outside. The bed and pillows were rough.

The stay was nice - we were moved from one leaky room to another, but wasnt really upset about it....didn't really blame the staff. I have no real complaints - good tv package, normal clean rooms, good showers, and was quiet. Only thing i would say is not enough pillows in the room but that's it.

Nice room for the most part, comfy bed, hot shower, friendly service. Woken up around 6:20 am to another customer trying to use her card key on my door and management assisting her. Not sure why the staff didn’t immediately recognize they had the wrong door. My room did show signs of water damage in the vicinity of the shower head and above the mirror over the sink. Also, the tab handle bar was missing, the drain stopper was sitting on the shower wall shelf, and both the entry and bathroom doors had been damaged at some point in the past. I took photos and shared with management, who looked surprised.

In general the hotel for the price was okay. The air conditioning unit was loud as was the refrigerator but it did cost less than half of other hotels in the area.

thin walls noise above room

New owners, great service, room was suitable

It was fine. Nothing fancy. Its cheap and thats what I needed. Room was clean and staff was very friendly

The tv wouldnt work, no sheet on one of the beds, and called front desk noo answer

My friends and I reserved 3 separate rooms for ourselves due to a wedding. The people who own and run this place are great. So kind, even when we received a noise complaint! Our rooms were well take care of and were fully accommodating.

It’s easy to get to

Worst ever! The shower curtain was ripped, the shower wall had a giant crack, the ceiling in the bathroom had a crack, 2 walls definitely had water damage. The mattresses were old and a very springy and just very uncomfortable. The bedding had cigarette burns, 80% of the outlets didn’t work. Dried snot on the walls. It was a nonsmoking room, but smelled of smoke. Breakfast was advertised and pictured, and just wasn’t a thing. There was no phone in the room to call the front desk. Nothing was as advertised. The only “plus” was friendly service. Will never stay here again.

The room was clean and comfortable. Amenities were minimal. No coffee in the room Drinks and snacks were minimal at the vending area also.
