The room was ok; not the cleanest we've been in. Bathroom floor was not clean. Bathroom exhaust fan was extremely loud. Windows were very dirty. Also, when I booked we were told there was a complimentary breakfast. When we checked in I asked about it we were told the manager cancelled having breakfast. The whole place is in need of updating.

Building is in poor shape inside and out. Sides of the bed had stains. Worst thing was all the pot smoking. It was in the hallways and when we turned out bathroom fan on the smell came into are room. I would never stay they again. Nice town to visit , usually go to Paw Paw, Kalamazoo area 1 - 2 times a year but will remember to stay away from the Comfort in in Paw Paw.

Inexpensive hotel, close to “downtown” with lots of food options, and right next to the highway for convenience. 2 things really stuck out though, that should be agnostic of price: 1. There’s no smoking signs everywhere. My room was non-smoking. There’s a sign in the lobby that says all hotels in the state have been smoking-free since like 2012… and yet my room smelled like an ashtray. Like, really bad. 2. My towels were dirty, so much so that I drove to Walmart and bought a new towel to use during my stay.

The staff were very friendly. The facilities need serious updating and repair. Toilet seat was not attached to the toilet. Could hardly pull the knob up to get the shower on. Furniture is a mish-mash and rickety.

Upon getting to the room, the door had to be forcefully opened, the room smelled like mildew, the bathroom had some kind of leak by the toilet which soaked towels, bed not comfy, asked for more towels took 2.5 hrs to get and they brought them at 3:30am, we were sleeping at the time. Serious need of renovation

Unfortunately we were unable to stay. The key cards did not work, nor did the Staff's Master Key. There was a breakdown of their system. there were no other rooms available. We had to drive 2 hours to get home at 10 pm the evening of our reservation. The individual on staff that evening was apologetic and gladly gave us a refund.

Property is older and needs more updates. Part of the room was updated but overall could use a real top to bottom renovation. For a quick 1 night stay this is an economical option.

The room itself had a funky odor present. There were stains in the carpeting that resembled old animal vomit that was just left there. The shower had hair EVERYWHERE. The faucets, shower head, and drains had soap scum, and hard water marks completely covering the fixtures. Not to mention, the television didn't work either. Final complaint, the occupants next to us had a puppy which did nothing but cry all night long. Hence why we clocked out as early as we did. I highly doubt I will be staying at Econolodge again

The hotel is a little old and outdated. With that said, the room itself was very clean. (I'm a bit particular when it comes to hotel rooms). The other patrons were also very considerate, no loud noises/partying/strange smells, etc. I was there for 5 nights, and my room was freshened up every day, which I greatly appreciated. My only (very minor) complaint was that the "continental breakfast" did not have a lot to offer. There was coffee, juice, granola bars, cookies, fruit and only one kind of bagel (that was not my favorite). That does not deter my 5-star rating. I would definitely stay here in the future.

Paw Paw Econo Lodge is a trip to be remembered. This place smells like it was never cleaned and only has perfumed the ugly smells of past guests. If you lile the smell of Fabreeze then you'll love this place. It took 2 weeks for the smell of this joint to clear from my CPAP. I'd rather sleep in a roadside Johnny On The Spot than this place in the future.

The room was in poor condition. Carpet tore up by entrance. Window was so filthy you could barely see out of it. There was mold all around the ceiling in the bathroom. Dog fur around edges of room like it gets poorly vacuumed. The toilet paper holder was half missing, which is a super easy and cheap enough fix. But apparently more than these owners could afford. Started hearing banging around 7:30 am. And it wasn’t the kind of banging of a couple having a good time. Do not recommend staying here. There are 2 other places right by. Try one of those instead.

The room smelled terribly musty as u walked in. I left the room wide open for 30 min to try and air it out. The light above the bathroom sink only came on about 1/4 of the way, so using the mirror was out. It was terribly dated (I don’t usually mention that, but it was bad!) The air conditioner was FILTHY, and I really hesitated to turn it on, bc u could see there was all kinds of dirt/trash in it!!! However, it was really hot, so we used it. Thankfully, we only needed it a night. Won’t be returning there!! (I have never said that before, either!) I’m NOT super finicky.

It's a no frills location, but it met our needs. The desk staff person, Amee (maybe Anee?) was FANTASTIC! She was kind and helpful and clearly has an incredible work ethic (something sorely lacking in workers these days). Our room was clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The property overall is rundown, but again, for the low cost, we had a comfortable, clean, safe room.

If you're on a budget and looking to hang your hat in a quasi-functional room that smells like an odd herbal extract (ginseng we think), look no further. Beds actually worked, unlike the fridge. Had a concert to attend at the vineyard so we got comfortably lit which helped us to crash without much concern.

When I went to talk to front desk night counter person was not friendly. I told her this is the last time we will book with you because of her rude reaction about why my room was given away. As I was leaving after finally getting a new room she proceeded to tell me I could check out if I did no like it.

When we checked into the hotel the man at the desk which was the owner immediately told us that there's no smoking and no pass. However as we unloaded our vehicle it was a huge German Shepherd with the owner's wife who ran over and touch my fiance. We called to the office and informed them that the dog was not on a leash and running up to people and that was scary the owner asked us to leave because of the simple fact we told them about a dog that was not on the leash then the owner insinuated that he feel intimidated by black people because he was shot by a blackam years ago that had nothing to do with the German Shepard running around with no leash. I would advise anyone not to patronize this location because the owner is racist

This room was in great shape and very clean. The only problem I had was that the fire alarm went off and woke me out of a dead sleep. It went off every 5 minutes or so. After the 4th time I called the front desk and someone came to change the battery in just a few minutes. I enjoyed my two nights there.

Reception lady was lovely, as was the man who came to get our tv to work. Stairs/rooms very tired, but room pretty clean. Bit of noise from other guests but settled down. Definitely not “100” tv channels as on board outside. Breakfast was very limited but better than nothing. Coffee almost cold. No cereal or fresh milk. Get what you pay for, so ok for the price. Great for the budget conscious.
