The hotel was a little grungey looking, but honestly was perfectly comfortable. The A/C didn't work super well and looked like it could be replaced or cleaned out.

I did not stay due to the smell, It was very outdated and you had to walk an old set of steps to get to second floor
Staff was very understanding and nice

The air conditioner worked well, the room was basic but adequate for our needs. The registration desk staff member was polite, efficient and friendly. Room 217 is in need of maintenance in the bathroom area. The staff were informed.
If you're looking for a very basic place to rest for a night, the Econo Lodge will meet your needs. Don't expect any more than that.

Upon arrival and parking in the parking lot, I found several nails in the parking area, where I parked the attendance said they were doing repairs and said it would be OK. Rather rudely. Hand handlers roaming the parking lot, uncomfortable worn out, bed. I personally would not stay there again.

The lobby was dirty, the stairs were dirty and taped up and the hallway was so creepy with squeaking floors and lights out making it very dark. The room was so dirty there were dead roaches and the pillows were stained yellow

Clean hotel
It's not the newest or updated hotel, but it is clean, comfortable, and the staff is great. Price is good. I've stayed here a few times and will probably stay here again.

Good for a place to sleep
Location was clean, quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The other furnishings in the room were damaged (hot items on the wood) which game them the semblance of being unclean but they were fine. We just needed a place to sleep for the night. Parking is a bit squashed and there's no turn around in the back, so just be aware of that. Otherwise, a nice place to park your bones.

This was one of the dirtiest hotels I have stayed in. There was laminate flooring in the halls and room. I spilled some water on the floor and wiped it up and the towel was black from the grime on the floor.
