Econo Lodge Bluefield

A poor location, bad driveway, substandard room.

While the room was adequate, the hotel is old and somewhat rundown. The ice machine hadn't worked in years and the place showed signs of wear and neglect. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very unpleasant, crowded and loud. Only a box of doughnuts was out for breakfast!

Room was clean and good price. The shower did not work, and asking the clerk for help seemed to be infringing on his time for relaxation.

It was too expensive for what it had to offer. Kind of a dumpy hotel in need of a lot of repair.

We were deeply disappointed in this lodging facility. The rooms were poorly kept. There was food and other debris under the headboard of the beds. The carpets were dirty. The room entrance door has a 1/2" to 3/4" gap under the door, allowing bugs to enter the room. The concrete walkways and walkway ceilings are deteriorating. The stair rail is bent (outward) and has a gap sufficient for a small child to fall through from the second floor. The rooms have insufficient outlets, with no convenient location to plug-in cell phone, laptop, or other chargers. The room was marked and sold as a "non-smoking" unit. However, the room has cigarette odor and there was an ash tray and matches on the night sand. The manager should be counseled on conducting auto repairs on site. From the moment of our arrival, he and others were working on the vehicle (apparently repairing the engine) near the entrance to the hotel parking lot. Note: this property should be closed and thoroughly renovated prior to reopening. ...read more

The hotel was difficult to find, off the beaten path. Also, a continental breakfast was advertised, but there was no place to sit down, and it consisted of coffee and a few donuts. I would not stop there again. ...read more

I was disappointed frankly, first the hotel staff failed to clean our room one day and the other day I had to call for them to come up and do it in the evening.

This is the second worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. I would tell the story of #1 but it isn't relevant. The hotel was almost impossible to find, the parking lot was so steep to enter that I scrapped the back end of my vehicle, it smelled horrible. It stated that it was a non-smoking room, but it smelled like a combination of damp basement and smoker bar. The hot water did not work in the sink. The room just looked generally dirty. I chose not to partake of the continental breakfast. Just didn't want to chance it. If the scale for hotel ratings has been changed from 1 through 5 to 1 though 100 then that is an accurate rating. Otherwise, it is horribly incorrect. I only selected 1 as the rating on question number 9 because there was not a lower selection available. ...read more
