Econo Lodge Ft. Lee

This hotel was the worst travel experience of my life!

There was alot of gum stuck on the wall. The room had no garbage can. There was rust and stains everywhere. I had to check out early because I couldn't bare to stay there another night. The hotel staff gave me a hard time about refunding the night i didn't stay there. The room was cheap, it should've been less.

Safety deposit box in room.

The first night I was there I was bitten by bedbugs. I notified the manager but he denied it, but I had marks on my arms and legs to prove it. We were moved to another room. You couldn't sleep that well at night because its right by the George Washington Bridge and you hear all the truck noise at night. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone plus it was not worth the price.

Rooms were not ready when promised and had to move to different room after initial room was dirty and toilet inoperative. Second room given was also dirty, beds not made and was also foul smelling after requesting non smoking room twice.

If you want a bed to sleep on and easy access to Manhattan, this place is ok. Overall maintenance and cleanliness was lacking. The hotel staff was variable in helpfulness, but overall made the stay tolerable, as opposed to torture. Be warned; it's just off the Jersey Turnpike so it is noisy, internet access is almost nil, and there are no eating places in the immediate vicinity. The room(s) did come with mini fridges. I had to change rooms after the first night because of lack of air conditioning, and the second room had a toilet that clogged up a few times. I'd consider using this hotel again, but only if I'm desperate to save money. Next time I'll simply plan to spend more for a room when in the area. read more
