For the price you're paying it's an excellent choice. Clean room. Hallways a bit dated. But who cares. NOTE: this hotel shares a parking lot with a different hotel that's a lower quality. So make sure you check into the right hotel when you get there.

Bathroom door would not close. Bathroom doorknob falling out. No towels in room. Leftover eyelash stuck to bedside table. Seemed like no effort put forward to try and make it a decent stay even given the low price.

Good place just to crash for a couple nights. But you definitely get what you pay for! I will say that the staff was nice and welcoming but the place itself inside and outside was sketchy and dirty. Hair on the beds, stains on the blankets, holes in the walls (covered by a wash rag) stains on the walls, expired leftover food in the mini fridge, lots of stomping on the above floor, and the smell of mold. The younger locals we met in Columbus questioned why we were staying there and that the neighborhood/other hotels/motels surrounding the Econo Lodge are bad news, full of drugs, crime, and CPS involvement.

The room was very dirty, there was a dirty spot in the wall by the window that was brown and looked like blood. There were spider and roaches, the bathroom wall by the toilet was covered in what looked like splattered poop. The floors in the hallway would make a crunching sound when walked on and your shoes were left sticky afterwards. The entrance door to for the side of the building was broken and would not latch. House keeping was asked to clean the walls and mirrors and did not. It is on the cheaper side but not worth the money.
