2/10 Poor

This Econo Lodge is a disgrace. The front desk staff was rude and made themselves unavailable. They did not pick up the phone or answer requests promptly. Our room was dirty - the AC was broken and our sheets were not clean. We needed to request NEW sheets for the bed. An uncomfortable experience overall. You would think with this type of rating multiple times, you would see a change in hotel management. I wish I never spent the money.

2/10 Poor

Filthy, mold, feces, cigarette burns on the floor and bedding. The celling was falling off the smell of human waste was the worse. We walked in and out. I still don't know how could this place be up to code. It should be close down. It gets better when I requested a refund because will not going to stay in such a filthy place. The front desk clerk said ok no problem. About a week later I received a email from the horror hotel stating I was not receiving a refund because they have strict policies concerning cancelations, I had to laugh. I contacted my credit card company and when they saw the pictures of the room I received a permanent credit. Please stay away from this unhealthy, disgusting horror hotel.

Dirty and run down; avoid if anyhow possible
I rarely comment and even rarer leave a negative comment. I had chosen this hotel as it was close to Bush Gardens knowing it was a simple hotel but hoping it was clean. But what I found was rundown dirty hotel and an unacceptable room. The door had marks from breaking in, paint was pealing from walls, particularly in the bathroom, the carpet had a musty smell, there was white power under the AC, the windows had probably not been cleaned since months, the dresser was in a state of disrepair with falling front plates, microwave and fridge were dented and probably not been cleaned in a long time, the curtain had stains etc. The only good thing I could say about this place was that the front desk clerk was friendly.

Mold in the shower. Disgusting carpets, walls filthy, bed dress dirty and used, a nasty stay specially when you check it late and there is no way to cancel.

NASTY
Do not stay here. NASTY!!!! Found a contact in the sheets so they obviously are NOT changing the sheets between stays. 0/10!!!!! Stay in your car before this room.

6/10 Good

The staff was very friendly and the room was as clean as they could get something that run down. The room was dark with dark bedspreads and minimal lighting. The lampshade was literally hanging on by a thread. The shower was water scale marked and rust stained but appeared to be clean beyond that. The bed should have been thrown away years ago. One was so dented where people would sit that you'd almost roll out of bed on that side. The other bed squeaked so badly that it sounded like the rigging of a dilapidated shrimp boat. Neither was comfortable in any way at all. On the plus side, the front desk clerk was very helpful and friendly. I'd avoid this hotel until they do some serious updating - even if it's just replacing the beds. Also - a reminder to the hotel - it's obviously time to call the exterminator - when I turned the lights on at 2 in the morning, bugs went scampering in all directions. Gross.

The attention was very bad, the service to the rooms was terrible, I found cockroaches, they don't respect the drinks you bring, the bathroom had a lot of mold. I don't recommend it at all and I don't plan to go back to my family either.

Dont Stay Here
Horribly dirty. We couldnt stay because it was unsafe, room smelled strongly of smoke, couldnt seenout the windows they were so dirty. Homeless (sadly) surrounded buildng and some living in the hotel. We were in the lobby for 15 minutes before anyone came out. First clue upon arrival, no cars in the lot just people there with all their belongings. The worse place i have ever seen.
