This was one of the worst places to stay on the planet. I was amazed that this very sketchy lodge has the Econo lodge marquee. It was a disaster area and the second night there was police all over the place. Did not help that there were homeless people directly outside the main entrance and the morning we checked out there was a semi conscious person laying on the luggage cart and someone sprawled out on the lobby couch with the clerk all asleep or unconscious at best. The rooms were filthy, towel Rack was broken with no bar and the mattresses should have been condemned. I took pictures of you need proof. Would Never consider staying again at an econo lodge.

Room service never came to us and they didn’t even have breakfast. They never cleaned our room and then when we asked for extra towel towels, we were told to pick them up from the lobby. Also, Even with the room key, we had to forcibly open the door as hard as we could because it refused to let us in our hotel.

The pictures were very misleading. We felt very unsafe being there and had to find a different place. Security cameras were unplugged and there was someone sleeping outside in a luggage cart. I also couldn’t get a refund

Bath tub/shower is in bad need of repair. You almost have to hug the wall to get under the water. The facet has a ton of caulk that is dirty. We had a very uneasy feeling about staying there and won't again and probably won't stay at another econo lodge.

Very slow to check in. Room wasn’t very clean. No heat in the room. Shower faucet not easy to figure out and would just turn and turn and turn to find correct temp. Gunshots, doors slamming shut (because they won’t line up to lock) made it impossible to rest

Food left all over floor. Went to front desk and asked for room to be cleaning since we had little children and they “cleaned” but left the food (peanut/sunflower seeds) on floor. We could never get the air to work. Would not recommend especially if you have kids. We moved rooms and all though it was better there were burns all in the covers and nightstand.
