Econo Lodge Forrest City I-40

What guests think

Reviews of Econo Lodge Forrest City I-40 describe a budget stop with convenient interstate access and generally friendly staff, but frequent complaints about cleanliness, dated rooms, very basic breakfast, and an area that can feel sketchy.

Several travelers noted clean rooms, quiet stays, and good value for a quick overnight. Recurring problems include pests or strong odors, thin walls, and broken or worn fixtures. Pet owners appreciated the dog friendly policy. Expect a basic, no-frills stay focused on price over polish.

The pot hole at the entrance to the hotel’s parking lot felt like it would almost swallow my Truck. The entrance door to the room had a gap around it, so bad that we put a chair in front of the door. The smell from whatever they used to clean the room was so overwhelming that we left at 0400 in the morning. The pictures showed on this site for the hotel does not look like that now. I believe the picture was taken before the hotel was sold to current owners. The hotel looks nothing like it is portrayed in the photos on Expedia.

My stay was absolutely horrible! I had my grandchild with me,the room was unsanitary we were bitten all night by mosquitoes,we didn’t get any sleep and the front desk had no solution to the problem. I recommend if you can get a room anywhere else but there.

Checked in late due to travel and there was a large area of blood on the wall of the room. Since i was traveling with my grandchild who was exhausted, it was reported at 6am. Their only response was "I\'ll tell him". Not sure how this could have been missed and absolutely unacceptable.

It smelled clean but it felt dirty. I think that they shouldn’t advertise continental breakfast if it was only cereal and also the lamps were rusted and the walls were missing paint. I think little small touches would bring more business and better reviews and maybe bring in some fruit and bagels to add to the breakfast at the very least. The staff was really nice though.

My parents and I stayed at this location for one night. The staff was amazing! Warm, friendly and professional. It wasn't the best hotel. It was a little worn but one thing that was a stand out was the bed. It was huge and comfortable. I'd say the only real drawback was that the walls were paper thin. I could hear people's conversations, tvs and baby crying through the walls.

Good for the price. If you’re looking for a place to stop and lay your head, than it’s fine. Beds are comfortable enough. I recommend if you’re looking for something that’s adequate while on a budget.

This was second worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty, broken, and uncomfortable. We has a guy above us that stomped the floor until midnight. The TV was horrible. There were no usb outlets. The shower curtain did not cover the shower, so water went all over the floor. I have stayed in hotels all over the wprld and the only one worse than this was in Morroco.

The ADA shower handle was broken making it difficult to use the shower. This was reported to the staff and apparently they already knew about the issue but haven’t taken care of it. I knew finding the place was a little difficult because of the reviews I read. But google maps did get us there. Breakfast was very poor. Although the lobby was supposed to be open until 10 it was closed when we arrived. It was dark and I questioned if the place was even open. I did get inside and spoke to staff thru a little window. We did get a room for the night and it was ok.

Toilet hinges caked in urine, spotted sheets, toilet wouldn’t flush without lifting the tank lid and helping the valve open the flow of water. Hair in the tub and around toilet. The shower curtain rod was dangling from the walls and was hazardous. The coffee at 7 am was room temperature, the fruit looked expired. The curtains didn’t close all the way. The front staff was friendly; I couldn’t be bothered to complain or change rooms as late as we came in. Terrible experience overall.
