Econo Lodge Inn & Suites

It was fine for being a place to just go sleep and shower, wasn't a bad place to stay, but was not impressed at all with their beds. My blanket had a big hole in it. Parties were going on at 3am, not sure if anyone complained so management might not have known, but it was annoying. Just kind of an old hotel, but not a horrible place either.

We had to change rooms because the bathtub stopper didn't work. The second room had garbage everywhere, water on the floor and we could see where they had painted over mildew on the walls and ceiling. I got very sick from that.

The entire hotel may not have been bad, we did not see much of it as we were in town only for one night and did not do anything but sleep at the hotel. Our room however had a smoke alarm hanging from the ceiling. The room had a strong cleaning smell when we first got there, which is a problem for me as a person with chemical sensitivities. The air conditioner did not cool the room down to my husband's satisfaction. And being located right off the stairwell, we heard a lot of stomping feet and slamming doors. Finally when we checked out there was confusion about our bill, and we had to turn around and go back to verify we had not been double billed.

This hotel would be fine for budget conscious, but not for someone looking for a romantic getaway. The Jacuzzi had black flecks coming out of the jets and the platform the tub was on was in poor condition.
