Oh, it was terrible experience. I arrived 8:30 pm but there was no staff in the office. I was waiting for the staff. 15 minutes. There were one homeless at the entrance and another suspicious guy in the parking. The manager was not in site. The staff called and asked the manager about room. I had a reservation for two beds but they had only one bed room left. I strongly suggest that do NOT stay in the hotel.

Worst Stay of My Life
They have a mandatory $100 CASH deposit, tried to tell me that hotels.com card had been declined. When i finally got in the room, they door lock was broken. During the night, i found bedbugs and ants while i was trying to sleep. They only had decaffeinated coffee in the room. They didn't clean the room while i was staying for multiple days. The sink had a huge crack, the electrical cord on the air conditioner was taped together. The coffee maker was broken. The tv remotes had dead batteries. Thwre arw a lot of homeless people hanging out in the parking lot, it did not feel safe. I would never recommend this hotel, not even to my enemy.

Scary
The rest of the neighborhood is in the midst of gentrification. This property was scary--we took everything out of the car so nothing would tempt anyone. I was happiest when we left the property to go visit friends. It started with a mandatory $100 cash deposit, with a handy ATM machine in the lobby. Luckily, I barely had 5 x $20 bills. They did refund it when I checked out at 6am, but I had to ring a bell for the overnight clerk. With 102 degrees temp, the A/C barely worked and was very noisy. I didn't sleep a minute. My son I should stay away from anything with Econo in the name...

So Horrible
This was literally the worst hotel stay I've ever had in my entire life. Roaches in my room. The sheets were not clean. Had to barricade my room doors because they would not shut. Would not stay here. Ever. It was so crappy I checked out before midnight the same day I checked in

Took over 30 minutes to get checked in. We were not informed by the property beforehand that there was a $100 cash only deposit, so we had to use the onsite ATM. Then we had to give the lady who checked me in all three of the ID’s of the people staying in the room. She then dropped my ID and had to use a toilet plunger to pick it up (hopefully it wasn’t used). Then we get to our room and there were dead bugs and stains all over the walls, a toilet that did not flush properly, and an A/c unit that did not blow cold air. We immediately checked out of the hotel, had to give them back the receipt given for the $100 cash deposit to get out deposit back and will never come back. Would give 0/10 if possible.

What to expect.
It was under construction and things were a mess. You could not get into the office and had to use the window for transactions. Room was in need of repair and needed a new carpet. Hard getting in and out of the property. I think that after the construction is over it will be a nice place to stay.

So Dirty and Nasty..
This is the worse place I've ever stayed. I've stayed at other inexpensive hotel's at the last minute and they were all clean. When I arrived they asked for 100.00 deposit, I may have overlooked that when I purchased the room. The room was filthy and nasty. The bathroom wasn't really clean and their was still hair in the shower and on the floor from the last guest. I had a long drive so I did want to deal with it and just went to bed. Their was only one outlet available to plug in my phone which was in the bathroom. I left for the day and came back. The room was not cleaned, no clean towels, soap or shampoo. I went to the checkin counter and mentioned this to them. They told me if I wanted the room cleaned with towels and so, I that I had to request it. I was sent to house cleaning to pick up the items. This is the only bad review that I have ever left. I'm trying to attach the pictures but the app isn't opening.

Absolutely the most disgusting, most deplorable “motel” I’ve ever been in. Was filthy, it stunk, holes all over in the door, tv didn’t work, bugs everywhere. Was just absolutely filthy and disgusting and the hotel staff didn’t care. I complained several times and they never did anything to help.

The place was poor. Sits in the less desirable part of town. Major construction going on outside made it noisy early and late. People standing outside the front door smoking and talking loudly was constant morning and evening. Door doesn't seal -- light and air came through spaces between door and jamb. Nobody made the bed or cleaned the room in the three days we were there. Mattress was hard and uncomfortable. However, lots of hot water and good water pressure for the shower.
