  • Close to where I needed to be.
  • Toilet backed up and beds were way to hard, no fitted sheets, flat not tucked in.

“This motel was over priced for what you got. Bed were extremely hard and not fully made. Toilet keep over flowing. Staff was not overly friendly, but I think that it is family owned.”

“Although the hotel was very good for a 1 star rating. The hotel was a good as could be expected for a 1 star but I am very disappointed in your service's rating of this hotel.”

  • Location was okay.
  • This hotel was so old and so run down.

“I am embarrassed to say what I had to pay to stay at this property. The motel was in such shambles that the entire second floor was shut down. There were approximately 5 rooms being used in the whole place that probably had 50 or more. There was only one staff member at the front desk that was never there and didn't speak English very well. There were hairs in the shower and human remnants from the last guest on the bathroom floor. My daughter slipped in milk at the breakfast bar and to my knowledge might still be on the floor today as motel personnel were difficult to get hold of. The pool area was secured with a pad lock so swimming this summer was out of the question. This tells you that the pool in this neighborhood beside the mall and a poorer side of town was more of a nuisance to the property than a luxury for guests. The smell of pesticides once you opened the door to the property was also overwhelming. They must have an issue with bugs too. My husband was afraid for the safety of his vehicle overnight. So much so that we parked the vehicle where we could see it right beside our only room window. There were no other vehicles on our side of the property!”

  • Location was good.
  • Very run down for as new as the hotel was unkempt and poor repair.

“This was the dirtiest 2 star hotel I've ever stayed in. The lobby was nice, but the facility past the lobby door was horrible. Our room had wallpaper hanging from the wall; bathroom was moldy and really dirty. Can't believe you sell this as a 2 star hotel. Doors were propped open from the outside, no security at all. The musty wet odor was very vile.”

  • There was nothing in the hotel that I liked.
  • Everything in that hotel.

“The beds were so hard that I had trouble sleeping for 3 nights, because my back and neck hurt so badly. My feet would stick to the floor. And the front desk person was rude and very mean. When I went to check out, I rang the bell for service and he yelled What do you want now!" And then when I called to talk about my services he called me every name in the book and called me a liar. I will never go back there or any Economy lodge hotel again.”

  • The location and it was a quiet place.
  • The breakfast.

“I was worried about this choice of motel after reading the reviews but found things to be clean and decent. It is a very basic motel room. Upon check-in, the clerk wound up charging our credit card again (even though we'd already paid). I am glad that my husband noticed this right away or we'd have been really surprised with less money in our account!”

  • Location.
  • Over rated and over priced.

“I was displeased with and their service. This motel was not listed on your web site as a 2-star motel. Your customer service department when contact did not provide as acceptable solution. Without some form of resolution I will not be using in the future.”

“You priced the hotel too high. I could've gotten a better price on my own. By far> I will definitely remember that next time! And inform my friends. A.”

  • In town.
  • Hotel attendant foreigner, heater without knobs, no lock.

“Economy based, clean but in disrepair. No deadbolt lock on door, no knobs on heating unit, foreign attendant, and room smelled of smoke. You get what you pay for; have had much better, room served purpose. Would not recommend for women and children.”

  • Friendly staff.
  • Did not feel that this was a 2 star hotel it was ranked with holiday inn express comfort inn and Fairfield inn.

“The hotel was clean but not as nice as other ranked two star hotels. Also I named my own price thinking I would get one of the nicer hotels at a good price. I believe my price was 52 a night. After going to the hotel I found out that I paid ten dollars more than if I just would have walked in. not good. ”

  • It had a very pretty lobby. The sink was in a different area than the toilet and shower.
  • The facilities were not very upscale, especially the bathroom.

“Overall it was friendly and clean. It was fairly convenient to get to and close to shopping and food.”

  • Nothing.
  • This is not a 2 star hotel. shame on you!

“I travel every week, and I use you less and less. This hotel was a one star hotel at best. The rate advertised on the outside sign was 10.00. ONE MORE POOR rated hotel. Check out what you sell or I will STOP using all together.”

  • The hotel was in the town in which I desired to stay overnight. They had wireless Internet
  • The manager acted as though he was doing me a favor by letting me stay there.

“I believe I was one of two guest in the hotel on the nights I stayed. All of the air conditioning was turned off when I arrived in the lobby, halls and room, leaving the average temperature about 85 degrees. The bed was as firm as plywood. The manager acted as though he was doing me a favor by letting me stay their. When all the fees were added in, the room came to $70 a night. For a few dollars more, I could have stayed at the Comfort Inn, the Fairfield, or the Holiday Inn Express, with great help and clean comfortable rooms.”

  • Nothing.
  • Run down, inadequate A/C, poor continental breakfast.

“I was very unimpressed by this Hotel. It was in need of repairs in the bathroom and the A/C did not cool sufficiently on a moderately warm (72 degrees) night. My room door stuck open and the back entrance to the hotel needed repair. ”

  • The people working in the morning when I left were helpful and friendly.
  • Not very clean, not friendly night person, breakfast not great.

“This did not meet my expectations well. There was a dead bug on the sink when we arrived, and I killed another the next day. There was mold growing over the bathroom door, and the tub wasn't well cleaned. Beds and pillows were comfortable, but the bottom sheets didn't stay on the beds.”

  • I appreciated the quick, safe, access to the highway and yet it was far enough from the highway to be quiet.
  • I had trouble with the wireless Internet connection in my room.

“This hotel met my necessities for my trip. The continental breakfast was basic, but sufficient. The room was clean and in good condition.”

  • They allow me to bring my dogs at a reasonable price. They also provide a refrigerator.
  • The continental breakfast pastry was stale and limited. They did have cereal and toast throughout the time posted.

“I have stayed at this hotel before. Glad to see the pool was open this time. Last year early June it was not. Conveniently located and easy access to the Interstate Highway and the University. They allow dogs and return your deposit upon check out. Although the rooms are older and a little run down - it is comfortable and serves its purpose.”

  • It was easy to find.
  • Mold in the bathroom, very outdated look.

“This hotel doesn't deserve over 1*, it is very outdated, there was mold in the bathroom, the continental breakfast was like outdated vending machine food, just open packages of donuts and cereal. I was very dissatisfied.”
