Econo Lodge Kalamazoo

The hotel wasn't the best, but it was clean. And the staff was super nice and helpful. It was conveniently located off the freeway as well.

The staff and room were great but the E entrance was scary. The people there were waiting for something.

Friendly staff otherwise wouldn't stay.

It is very sad when a computer dictates over common sense/courtesy.

Was not bad at all. I do think the hotel should come into blow dryers and coffee pots like most others have.

I would stay again, if just overnight.

I have stayed in hotels and this was a moderate visit. The lady who checked me in and out was very polite. The housekeeping actually knocked before trying to enter. (I had a problem with that at a different hotel) The staff is very nice. However the problem lies with maintenance and design. Our air conditioner was broken and the toilet was way close to the shower. It was a very cramped bathroom. read more

We arrived at the hotel at 11:30 pm there was a leak and one of the ceiling in a room collapsed. An older couple was injured and their belongings damaged. The staff was horrible at taking care of its customers and answering questions. After waiting an hour and still unable to check into my room. One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at.

It was hard to tell which when I entered room 131 at the Econo Lodge in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I've been told that the authorities, when investigating the report of a met lab in an apartment or room, often detect the telltale odor of cat urine in a place that was used to make met I don't know. I arrived at about 10:30 on a Friday night. It was a warm evening. The air in the lobby of the Econ Lodge was even warmer, more humid, stifling. The man gave me a room key and vague directions to the room. I drove my car to the inside of the courtyard, the motel being roughly U shaped. I noticed that the parking lot was quite in need of resurfacing with small weeds growing up through the cracks. It looked as though I could reach my room by going through the outdoor pool area. I opened the gate to find a tarp pulled over the pool with putrid water pooling on the surface of the tarp. A pool skimmer and some other implement were tossed carelessly on the concrete surrounding the pool. Metal umbrellas, maybe once used back when the pool was in use (seeming long ago), sat idle, bent, sad on the ground. A drinking fountain stood dirty and unused at one end of the pool. I found my way past this and into the building. Dingy hallway, dirty carpets. It was creepy. I found room 131 and entered to smell the cat urine. I rolled back the bedspread and found hairs (pubic and otherwise) scattered on the sheets of the bed. 'I'm not sleeping here,' I said to myself. I called the desk and told the man what had awaited me when I had arrived. He seemed to care little for my plight but said that he would try to find another room. Room 127 was open. We walking to it together and found that it didn't smell like cat urine. Excellent! I did find, however, that there was food left in the refrigerate. read more
