The bed was very comfortable. The top door lock was hanging off the door, the shower was disguisting, the one lamp literally had a shade falling apart and I had to use a hair tie to close the curtains. Had it not been for us driving until 2 am, I would have left. My fault for not reading all of the reviews. I do have pictures.

Not Clean
Decided to extend our honeymoon trip an extra day, and visit Andy Griffith's homestead area. Floors and bathroom were filthy, had trouble finding outlets just to plug in lamp and microwave, breakfast fruits were old, and couldn't even get an actual receipt when checking out. Glad this was a one time stay!

Maybe the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. Black hair in the shower, floor is filthy. I was afraid to walk around without my shoes on in the room. Dirty smudges on walls, you can see daylight under the door. If we hadnt been exhausted from driving all day, we probably would have packed up our luggage for five people and left. Never never never stay here.

The motel we had a reservation at had to cancel due to our rooms having damage from previous guests. The only rooms available were at this motel. The rooms were very dirty. I can handle a run down place if its clean. We had to go to the dollar store to get fabreeze so we could stand staying in the rooms. There were 3 of us in one room and 4 in the other. There were 2 sets of towels in each room. When we ask for more towels you would have thought we were asking for a brick of gold or something. The man was upset cause we wanted more towels. He kept saying there shoukd be 3 sets. Well there wasnt and even if the one room had 3 sets it still wasnt enough. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I will not be back and will avoid choice hotels at all cost.

Econo lodge is not expected to be luxury, but this was even below the expectations of $75/night cost. Toilet was plugged up and overflowing. Bugs everywhere. Refrigerator had to be replaced while we waited for the maintenance guy to do that.

Very dirty. Hair all over the bathroom floor and the tub was filthy. Stains on all furniture, bed was sketchy and hard. Stains on the ceiling and walls. The structure was not well taken care of and the room as a whole had holes.

This property is conveniently located. The king bed was very comfortable and there were pillows of various thickness available. Upon check in, i asked for a first floor room and was told the hotel was full. However, the room below ours was available all night. Unfortunately, the room was not very clean. The shower curtain rod was coming off of the wall- causing water to pool on the floor, creating a hazard. The building is in serious need of updating.

The property looked like a flea market outside some of the rooms near the doors. The rooms curtains were coming loose at the top. So, we were forced to use the ironing voard and our chip clips to keep curtains closed that night. The hot water was minimal being hot. The toilet at the base leaked some. It was very noisy from other guests. The bed and furniture was older and uncomfortable. Rm 104 2nd time staying after asked to come back for another try. It won't happen again! This Econo Lodge is a Choice Hotel obviously by payment by the owners of this franchise. Pitiful excuse to call a Choice Hotel.
