Econo Lodge Brattleboro South

The room stunk of stale cigarette smoke and had no deadbolt on the door. (This does not make any woman comfortable especially when traveling alone with a child) The toilet seat was not attached to the toilet so every time you had to sit you thought you were going to take a ride through the wall. The filters in the air conditioner were absolutely filthy and extremely overdue to change. The mattress had extended its stay and belonged in the dump (very uncomfortable). The fridge was rusted inside and out. It says online that breakfast is included….. Forget about that there isn’t even coffee available!!!!! I tried to go into the office three times to address the issues and nobody was ever there. I finally spoke with Ray who was extremely apologetic, claimed he didn’t know about the issues and was willing to refund the stay. He originally said he was completely booked and owns three other locations. I was calling somewhere else when he said that he could refund one night and put us in a different room. I asked to see the other room first. Ray said that maintenance would fix the issues Monday or Tuesday (needed parts), however he rented the room out to someone else the same night….. The second room was better besides the nails sticking out the door frame and barely attached to the wall They use the pool area for storage so as long as you don’t mind the boxes, bikes, mattresses and equipment it is warm in the room. The water was too cold for my liking however my son enjoyed it!

This has to be the worst motel/hotel that I have ever stayed at. I arrived late and had a non-refundable deposit so no alternatives. I was placed in a section (room # 124) of the motel that appeared to provide rooms for those in need (i.e. homeless). The exterior door jam had been forcibly opened and had extensive damage. The bathroom door jam had also been forcibly opened and had extensive damage. The chair in the room was long overdue for replacement. Bed comfort was okay but very noisey during movement. Bed cover (bedspread) was too small for the bed. Overall appearance/condition of interior walls was not good. Website information was erroneouse - there was no wi-fi, no restaurant, no breakfast, no internet, no cable TV, and regular, local TV stations not available. Booked property through Expedia. If this is an example of properties they offer for lodging, I will never make bookings again through that organization.

The property did not have the amenities that were advertised. The pool was non-functional, the free breakfast is no longer offered, and we couldn’t even get ice at the main office. The nightly rate was higher than anticipated and the bathroom light switches, doors and molding were very stained and dirty. There are more updated properties in the area. Don’t let the discounted price lure you in.

Not up to code. Old-needs help.

The hotel room was under construction with exposed 2x4s holding the sprinkler system. The hotel was dirty. And the crowd hanging around the hotel was not good company. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

First off I was put in and upstairs room and no one to help me my luggage and no elevators and had to move my room downstairs. I was supposed to have a queen bedded ended up with two smaller beds. The room was too hot when I went in. Anyway moved the room downstairs and the beds had hair in them. One bed the pillows didn't have pillow cases. The housekeeper came in and just cleaned the floor and left the bathroom seat up after attempting to clean the toilet and the toilet was not cleaned and neither was the bath tub. You can see where others had stayed and damaged the room from before. It was not the best stay. When looking up the room it said there was breakfast and there was none and the same with the pool the pool was closed for the winter. Really was not the best stay.

The place is a DIVE! Do not stay there! On line it said pool and breakfast, we get there and there is a big sign in the office that says "Due to COVID the pool and breakfast are closed! What the heck? The people in the office were nice but the place is terrible. Our room smelled, only a sheet on the bed, the shower was a cubicle, windows were filthy. I even took pictures because we could not believe it. We paid ahead on line so we could not get our money back! I am angry with Expedia also, apparently they don't check out the hotels they have on line or know that they have shut things down! We paid 186.00, for that nite, it should of been 18.00 with the condition of the place. Will NOT make this mistake again!!!

Website indicate breakfast include. No breakfast. Also no ice either. They indicate all ice machine were broken. Got there & TV not working well. Cable giy came in then electric went out. Not sure how long we left to get dinner. Was told at check in internet was not working. Worst place we ever stayed at.

Nothing bad about inside the room (108) -- but it was next to the hallway to the stairs to the second floor, so heard occasional foot-stomps during the evening. No other noises, though. Spatious double sinks, very unusual. Huge, firm bed. The manager has quite the beautiful flowers and vegetables garden as landscaping, including some exotic trees. Obviously this will vary by season, but Coreopsis verticillata (yellow/orange/red) was in full glory, with Cosmos coming on, among other things. Also look for curry-leaf tree (Murraya koenigii).

This is a welfare motel; people's belongings piled up outside doors. Despite listing, no breakfast was offered. General condition bad, despite ongoing upgrades. First room had no desk chair, toilet seat not attached to toilet. Changed to room with non-functioning lamp and door security latch missing. WiFi was OK. Bed and bathroom were fine; these were all I needed. I made sure not to leave anything of value in room while I was not there. Only advantages: lowest price around, near off-ramp from Interstate, adjacent to Dunkin' and Tesla charging.

The only positive I can give about this property is that there weren't any bed bugs. This was probably the most dirty hotel I've ever stayed at. Stains on everything, the sheets, towels, curtains, and pillows. The place smelled heavily of cigarettes even though the room I was in was supposed to be non-smoking. The fridge and exhaust fan in the bathroom didn’t work. The room phone's cord was cut. The drawers under the TV didn’t even open and one was missing hardware. No coffee machine in the room, not that I would trust using one if there even was, because of how dirty everything was. I tried turning on the TV but the remote was dead. The air conditioner/heater sounded like it wanted to die. The blinds for the window were missing part of the slats. Dirt on the floors and dust everywhere and random spots of god knows what on the walls, floors, and the furniture. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. I needed a place to stay near the hospital but ended up checking out early because I couldn't bear the icky feeling I got while I was there, made my skin crawl. The receptionist was supposed to email me a receipt and never did. If you're traveling and need a quick place to stay, avoid this establishment and go the bit further out, definitely not worth the $99 a night. The pictures they post are extremely deceiving.

The room they put us in was disgustingly dirty, and when we told the staff person, he said he had a nicer room, so he took us there and turned on the lights and there were cockroaches crawling on the wall. Needless to say we didn't stay there. What a DUMP!

Disgusting , falsely advertised on Expedia . The pictures advertised were opposite of what I saw. The overall look was broken down , looked like a homeless shelter, the room was filthy, smelled like urine , cigarettes and weed. The door appeared to have been broken into at some point, stains on the mattress, window open with no screen . The pile of furniture and garbage outside in clear view is unacceptable . The ceiling was dirty grey. I complained to management . Management refused to refund my stay with Expedia.

There was mold, stains, holes, bugs and non working lights in my room. There was cigarette smoke in the room and leftover food. Also the window was open with a cigarette inside. There was a hole next to the bed and a bed, Equipment and clothes taking up the pool room. It looked nothing like the photos.

Honestly, this is the worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed in. If I had the energy, I would insist on a refund from hotels.com. The room was foul. The floor turned my white socks black from dirt. The bedspread had stains you would likely find in a brothel. The pillows had covers that didn’t look like pillowcases. I took clean shirts from my luggage and covered the pillows because I was afraid to put my head on them. Bathtub was filthy. Need I go on? Too much to list. This would be a great place to stay on a meth binge but if you are looking for a decent night sleep - go elsewhere. I am still a bit traumatized from the 7 hours I stayed there. I could not get out of there quickly enough. Next time I use hotels.com I will be sure to read (and believe) the reviews. My review is similar to everything I read after the fact!

The interior was in bad condition and bug infested The only good thing was the low price and easy access to the highway

Room had good lighting,room was nice and warm had hot water. walls could use some fresh paint, ceiling was very dusty, bathroom had smell of stagnant water. Tub had chipped enamel and mold around bottem of tub by floor. Outer sink was slow to drain. Beds were horrible, very old and saggy. Sheets smelled of detergent and made our skin itch.

Roaches. Everywhere.

Front desk not staffed. When someone did come, it took them three tries to make me a key that fit my room. Roaches in the room. Upon checking out, I discovered I had left an item behind. I called within 15 minutes of leaving there and was assured that it would be there when I came to get it later. When I just called now to double check as I am on my way, the man said he’s checked with housekeeping and they don’t have it. While it is my fault for leaving it there, someone did steal it. I won’t be back and will hesitate to book at ANY Econolodge in the future.

TV had no news channels. Heater didn’t work and there were no extra blankets. Wiring was faulty, room needed paint and furniture needed replacing. At least the bed was comfortable and the sheets appeared to be clean. There was nowhere else to stay or we wouldn’t have stayed there and it was late at night.

Great location. It's a motel so don't expect luxury but it was clean and my room looked recently renovated so it was clean and comfortable. Front desk guy was great. If you have AT&T the coverage drops out right by it and your GPS will get confused; watch for the large motel sign.

Bare bones, no water pressure, no chair, no trash receptacle near bathroom, no bath tissue holder, no fan in bathroom.

Rooms need to be remodel. You get what you paid for.

Nice big sinks in the room. Expedia listed check-in time starting at 2pm so that's when we arrived. The reception desk informed us check-in is 3pm, not 2pm. They graciously checked us in anyway instead of asking us to go somewhere and wait.

Hotel is slowly being remodeled. The important parts of the room, the bathroom the beds, and the refrigerator and microwave were very good. Other things like the doors, the chairs, the rug, were bad. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep for a few hours it’s fine.

Definitely ranks among the worst hotels in the country. The force of the water in the bathroom was very low. It was not even good enough to wash the face. The AC was making weird noises. The bathroom didn't have shower curtains. The chair in the room was very bad and torn. The bed was very uncomfortable and hence didn't get proper sleep

No deadbolt on door, bathroom door did not close, tv did not work, bed squeeked when you move.

Probably the worst stay of my life. The chair looked like it’s old, dirty and torn, paint chipped off the walls everywhere, our deadbolt was kicked in and was now a screw we turned. Blood appeared in the back stair. Whatever carpenter they hired to do any trim work should be fired. Sink drains were those weird plastic accordion drains, something out of an rv, no cabinet or anything to hide it and it didn’t drain. Every piece of furniture was broken. The privacy from us and the other people staying was this nasty blue see through curtain with stains on it. Plus our room wasn’t cleaned out. I would never stay at an Econo lodge for as long as I live. For some reason this is my second time at one of these and I promise you, there won’t be a third.

Waited for more than five minutes and nobody showed up at the front desk. Had to go elsewhere. Highly disappointed!

Clean quiet and affordable place with a friendly staff. Small critique: put a small shelf in the shower for shampoo/soap etc.

The first room they assigned us reeked of cigarette smoke. They were very good about giving us a new room. The next room was much better, but during the night the batteries in the smoke detector died so it beeped the rest of the night. In the morning we let them know and they said they would get right on it. We left and came back later, it was still beeping. Let them know again and they said they would get it fixed. Get back at 7 pm to the room and still beeping. Let them know, the clerk calls maintenance who said that he fixed it but she told him to go again. So he takes it off the wall and did not replace. Come to find out he had the batteries in backwards. No one ever cleaned the room and we were there for 6 nights. Had to ask for more towels as the room only had 1 and again was never cleaned.

Got in late and was made to feel like “how dare I check in late”. Room smelled like old smoke. No toilet, didn’t matter there was no toilet paper. Pillows and sheet seemed dirty. Unlocked windows. TV was broken and remote didn’t match. Hate these places because I always fell nervous I’ll be charged for what I walk into. You think $120 would get you the bare minimum. Disgusted by this place and definitely not recommended.

Nice big sinks in the room. Expedia listed check-in time starting at 2pm so that's when we arrived. The reception desk informed us check-in is 3pm, not 2pm. They graciously checked us in anyway instead of asking us to go somewhere and wait.

The staff was nice and helpful. We checked in ok. I was told the room was ready, but it wasn't. Tv didn't work right, needed help getting the fridge running, had to ask for more towels because we only had a hand towel in the room, the mattress was a 2 out 5 at best and finally, had to give them the pizza boxes from the closet.

No one working at desk had to pick up phone and call number on sign on counter said someone woul meet me there later on if i came back most of the room doors open with people sitting in sidewall outside and bags of clothes sitting around them looked like people with addictions a guy going in a out of rooms with a big dog on lease not sure what they were looking for or doing decided i didn’t want my grandchildren exposed to this drove 2-1/2 hours before could find a hotel with vacancyvery disappointed that this hotel was listed without any warning on the atmosphere i

The whole weekend was one mishap after another. The manager was really quite lacking professionalism & her mismanagement of the weekend was unsatisfactory. The place seemed to be an awkward transition of fix up & certain amenities disclosed was unavailable.

Front desk not staffed. When someone did come, it took them three tries to make me a key that fit my room. Roaches in the room. Upon checking out, I discovered I had left an item behind. I called within 15 minutes of leaving there and was assured that it would be there when I came to get it later.

I won’t be back and will hesitate to book at ANY Econolodge in the future.

I am 80 yrs old, travelling by myself. This did not look like the picture or any other Econ chain. The neighborhood was questionable, the lobby dirty. I immediately said I wanted to cancel my reservation. I was told to do it through the Hotels.com app. I had to download it, had difficulty and was unable to cancel by 6 pm. I did cancel atb6:08. I want a full refund. This business should be razed.

Showed up to be told check in was 3pm not the 2pm as posted,then when returning to the hotel at 10pm we arrived to see 8 what appeared to be permanent residents sittin outside right next to our room these people sat here talking til 3am I can’t believe this is allowed. Just a terrible experience

The good: convenient to grocery store next door. Linens were clean. The bad: room was dirty, had roaches, our feet were quickly filthy just from walking in the carpet, old liquid splashed on the walls and never cleaned. No housekeeping over three day stay.

Strip mall next door

Great location. It's a motel so don't expect luxury but it was clean and my room looked recently renovated so it was clean and comfortable. Front desk guy was great. If you have AT&T the coverage drops out right by it and your GPS will get confused; watch for the large motel sign.

Shops nearby. Heater worked good. 0lder motel but kept up quite well.

About what you would expect, but Brattleboro is an awesome place downtown. Don't judge the area by the Econo lodge property or reviews.

Hotel in general needs quite a bit of work. Walls in the room were scuffed, and paint was peeling. Grout for the tub was dirty and possible moldy. Faucet for the sink was loose, and the water lines held together with zip ties. Yes, it was inexpensive but pay a bit more for a better place. Advertised as having breakfast but they discontinued that to keep costs down.

HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE!! HORRIBLE!!! NO breakfast and no coffee as stated to be included. Room was freezing when we entered and never warmed up to what the heater was set to. They DO NOT offer soap to guests. Nor was there a trash can in our room. WE (3) were given 1 bath mat, 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel, and the shower took over night to drain from one of us showering. The towel rack along with a disgusting toilet plunger were sitting on the floor of the bathroom. Bathroom had "stuff" smeared on the wall. AND, the beds were VERY hard. The door to the pool room was cluttered with junk.... tv's, a wheel chair, etc, and inside around the pool actually had old mattresses and bikes lining the wall. We stayed here last year and it was fine, but not this year.

The property did not have the amenities that were advertised. The pool was non-functional, the free breakfast is no longer offered, and we couldn’t even get ice at the main office. The nightly rate was higher than anticipated and the bathroom light switches, doors and molding were very stained and dirty. There are more updated properties in the area. Don’t let the discounted price lure you in.

I arrived late and the person who checked me in was very gracious about being awakened. The mattress was hard as a rock and the promised coffee and breakfast never materialized. The shouldn’t offer it. I was starving - so, that was disappointing. It was pricey for the quality of the room and, again - no breakfast. But it was a place to sleep.

The place needs a lot of work.. its was a Saturday night stay, so prices are up and It was not worth what i payed. I used this app and app said it had breakfast and no breakfast was available since covid.. but they give you DD gift card.... i want i place with breakfast . Its was a major inconvenience thats all. Towels are 5 years over do.. (not good)....im gald im 2A for sure, first sleeping w/ it out...

First off I was put in and upstairs room and no one to help me my luggage and no elevators and had to move my room downstairs. I was supposed to have a queen bedded ended up with two smaller beds. The room was too hot when I went in. Anyway moved the room downstairs and the beds had hair in them. One bed the pillows didn't have pillow cases. The housekeeper came in and just cleaned the floor and left the bathroom seat up after attempting to clean the toilet and the toilet was not cleaned and neither was the bath tub. You can see where others had stayed and damaged the room from before. It was not the best stay. When looking up the room it said there was breakfast and there was none and the same with the pool the pool was closed for the winter. Really was not the best stay.

Booked it mainly because they said they had breakfast but they didn’t.

Website indicate breakfast include. No breakfast. Also no ice either. They indicate all ice machine were broken. Got there & TV not working well. Cable giy came in then electric went out. Not sure how long we left to get dinner. Was told at check in internet was not working. Worst place we ever stayed at.

The place is falling apart. The front desk was often unattended. No breakfast as promised

For being the cheapest place around, the hotel wasn't bad. The room and surroundings weren't particularly clean but it wasn't horrible. Originally we had a scare when we thought there were roaches but on closer inspection they were just some harmless local beetles! Coffee and continental breakfast in the morning was a total lie, however, which was the single greatest fault we had with the place.
