This listing constitutes fraud. The photos shown are not reflective of the actual hotel. It is, for lack of a better or kinder term, a complete dump. Our first room was disgusting and the balcony door didn’t close all the way or lock. We requested a new room, which was somehow even more disgusting. It had clearly not been cleaned — there was dirt everywhere, literal leaves in the bathroom, and a sock on the ground. The AC in the room was also broken. We decided at this point to leave for obvious reasons. The man at the front desk said he couldn’t give us a refund because we had “been there more than an hour,” and when we tried to show him the pictures of our room he said something along the lines of “I know, my cleaning staff doesn’t do anything, this is how it is,” which is just…baffling. Anyway, he said to contact the manager (whose email is a bunch of random letters). We will be attempting to contact him as well as disputing the charge. Absolutely disgusting, the worst hotel I have ever been to. I have no idea how they are still open they need to be shut down.

Terrible worst Experience ever. Lobby smell like cigarette the room what’s nasty, everything was dirty. The shower the bed hat hairs all over the blanket, yellow stains all over the blanket cigarettes on the floor, I went to the front desk ask for my money back they refuse to return my money. They try to give me another room that it was worse than the first one. I left the hotel without getting my money back. do not trust the pictures you see online.

I’ve never left a bad review but this place is so bad it felt like a disservice not to leave one. DO NOT STAY HERE. The photographs are old, currently the building looks like it’s almost condemned. It seems like they hardly clean anything inside. Smelly, stained and trash ridden entrance. Room water faucets/shower all calcified and rusted. Roaches. Can’t adjust my AC unit so I’m unable to sleep because it’s hot. Can hear right through the wall and the hostess was kind enough to put the guy sleeping with a prostitute RIGHT next to my room. The entire place is a waking nightmare. I repeat: DO NOT STAY HERE. You can get astronomically better for the same or less price elsewhere.

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.
