It was reasonable quiet given that it's located near an interstate. The room was very clean and reasonably updated. I loved my long, hot shower.

The dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Bathroom ceiling is covered in mold with a dislocated fan to help. So you wake up puffy and congested. The entire wall is coming off from mold in the bathroom. Bed blankets had old visible stains… And of course there is a bug problem due to the moist condition. Old dead bugs from previous days that never got cleaned up and lots of new ones to keep you company in your bed. Had to literally flick off three on my pillow before we went to sleep. This place was so disgusting. Wouldn’t stay here for free. We are NEVER staying in an Econo Lodge ever again!

Room had cockroaches. We killed six large ones within 5 minutes of being in the room. There were also nymphs all over the place. If it hadn’t been so late we would have left. We slept in our clothes with the lights on and left first thing. Strong smoke smell in the morning as well. Would never stay there again. Didn’t bother calling the front desk as we saw the roaches are an ongoing issue in the reviews—we had mixed up places when booking :/

Very disrespectful to me when I asked about breakfast..( they show it in their pictures of the dining area, they have no room service.. noise levels from prostitution and drug dealers kept me vigilant most of the night. Parking lot and walkways covered in refuse from drinking and drugs.. This is the absolute worst place that I've stayed in... The cost of the room is higher than the Baymont downtown. I will never again stay here. I Wish I had gotten the Baymont

Upon entering the room itvwas infested with roaches. About 15 -20 dead ones but also some crawling on floor all over and walls in the bathroom. Switched rooms to a similiar state in second room. Ledt and asked for refund but told it was a no refund policy. Room wasnt for prisoners nevermind wary travelers. Place should be condemmed.
