I have to say this was the most disgusting property I have stayed at in some time. Since there were no other rooms available to stay for over an hour away from Peach Fest, we were compelled to stay in this filthy, squalid, unkempt, falling apart property. Cigarette burns in the bedclothes. Molding separating from walls, broken safe, broken falling to pieces furniture, and no maid service after four nights made this property one of the worst I have ever stayed at. A true zero-star hotel.

Place is a dump…., where to start…, the so called pull thru( you know the one you pass through right at the entrance door before you go park) well guess that is the front desk guys personal parking spot so you have to back up and go around you can go that way… got my key and was told to go around back… so I did so onto the room as soon as you open the door this stench smacks you in the face … grab out the key card swipe swipe swipe finally the second key works the room doesn’t smell but! It needs torn down or totally renovated…. Two tvs in the room why oh only one works …. Fridge is hotter then the room all furniture is chipped, ok it looks like they picked it up from the dump seriously. The desk and chair OMG the chair was torn up with duck tape on the seat…. Not to mention the not so omfg what did they do, wait I don’t want to know any more I think the room is rented by the hour! Stay away!!!

Bad!
We didnt actually stay! We reserved a room, walked in and within 10 minutes we were out! As soon as you walked in all you could smell was pot and holes in the doors. Garbage bags left in the halls. Once in the room we looked at the beds that had cigarette burns and stains all over. The blankets were stained and had white gunk hardened on it. Fruit flies were in the bedding as well. Then ultimately the other people in the hotel were loud and screaming profanities at their children. Altogether it was dirty and not a welcoming place! We left within 10 minutes!

First room was dirty. The halls smelt like smoke, and just disgusting. When I opened the door, I saw roaches and bugs crawling around. The floors and tables were dirty. Pillow cases had stains. I went back and asked for another room. The other room was a little cleaner, but still very disgusting. A/C didn’t even work. Avoid this place at all cost. Ended up getting a refund immediately.

We did not stay but moved to another hotel. The room was dirty. Hair, plastic wrappers and dog kibble on the floor. Sticky substance on bathroom vanity. Pillows used in one bed. No TV remote. Unacceptable. Felt bad for the receptionist who was very apologetic and gave us a full refund.

This was the dirtiest room I have ever slept in. Sheets were stained and covers on both beds had cigarette burns. The door on a cabinet had been ripped off the hinges. The shower curtain was moldy and the bathtub faucet was broken and dropped. The back of the door looked like a set from a horror movie. It was a crack house without the luxury of drugs to make you not care about the filth.

I will never stay here again. I should have read the reviews but was in a rush and because of graduation weekend, so many other hotels were double the price. Should have been a red flag. The check in area was dirty. The room was “non-smoking” but it smelled like smoke so bad and I found ash on the nightstand. The floor was sticky, there was mold in the bathroom, hair on the toilet seat, and there was PLYWOOD nailed to the bathroom floor by the shower. The man at check-in made me pay $2 to “insure” my items up to $5k if the safe was broken into (sketchy) but the safe didn’t even work. There were burn holes in the comforter and I’m not even sure if the sheets were changed. The room above us had people stomping around all night long and into the morning. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and probably 30 years old. And the air conditioner barely worked. The only positive was there weren’t any bed bugs and the tv worked. I would have gotten my money back if I could have. I probably would have been more comfortable sleeping in my car. Never again. Seriously do not stay here.

BIG LESSON LEARNED. READ REVIEWS. I was in a rush and booked this one evening for a trip. My mistake I didn't read the reviews. The reviews are spot on. If I was writing another it would sound like so many that are posted. I've never stayed in such a disgusting place. Figured Econo Lodge would be OK. Price was cheap but by no means the bottom of the barrel. My room however was the bottom of the barrel

Do yourself a favor and never stay here. This place should be torn down. I can't believe Econo Lodge has their logo on the building. I was yelled at and followed for asking for extra towels, the mold and mildew was all over the bathroom, the whole building reeks of weed and smoke, the floor was all sticky in my room, burn holes on the blankets, along with dogs barking all night. It was definitely the worst place I've ever stayed at, and the shadiest...

Absolutely disgusting
Absolutely the nastiest room I have ever stayed in. No hot water, which we didn't realize until the morning. Floors literally soft and about to fall in! Burn holes in all the covers, blankets, pillow covers, and drapes. Didn't complain until I went to get coffee that morning and was cussed out by the front desk clerk, who honestly was acting like a drug addict. I could go on and on, but I am going to start my vacation and don't have time for this.

SKETCHY
Oh my word. I have stayed in some low-cost hotels before, but this was the worst place I have ever been. First, none of the outside doors were locked or had a way to use your key to enter. MAJOR security risk. Second, the bedding/curtains/shower curtain all either had holes or were dirty. Third, the connecting door between our room and the next was open when we arrived, which is not a huge deal. But! The lock was broken and the only way the door could be locked was to use the lever at the top. Finally, there was a red stain on the wall. We went to the Waffle House for breakfast after and were telling our waitress (who was WONDERFUL) about our experience. My friend said - 'there was a red stain on the wall. It looked like spaghetti sauce.' She said - that's not spaghetti sauce.....that place is known for being a crime scene...... Not as important, but still irritating - When we booked, the website said the price included a 'free breakfast' for two. No breakfast in sight. Not even coffee or juice. The manager was VERY rude when we left our keys. We didn't ask for a receipt, but he clearly was not happy we had made reservations on hotels.com. He curtly said (to our backs) that we could get a receipt on the website. The ONLY bright spot in this was the nice young woman who checked us in at night. She was competent and courteous. AVOID THIS PLACE

Definitely zero stars in my book.
I have to say it was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at and I have traveled a lot. The service was terrible and the hotel was dirty. The pictures posted on hotels.com website does not match the hotel. Said they had a full continental breakfast and they offered nothing. Room was dirty, the chairs were all stained, TV had big black holes in the screen, toilet didn’t flush right and there were black mold stains on the curtains in the bathroom. Would have stayed at another hotel but unfortunately everything was booked and we had a late check in I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very disappointing. Outright horrible. DONT BOOK
It's was good. I'll be back, my party stayed at the OYO hotel, the day before, and let me tell ya, I have no clue how management there even gets an occupancy permit for that place. Take my word it travelers, don't book there. I booked a suite, incredibly small, receptacles not working, no even small kitchen area had a microwave which couldn't be used. Dirty inside, and the plug for it didn't have power. Toilet was clogged upon arrival, took nearly 4 hours for maintenance to arrive, pipes under bath sink leaked, room Incredibly old. Felt like we were staying in a 100 year old mobile home. No cellular service , if you have Verizon. Extremely slow to no wifi I had booked two days there, booking was cancelled later that night, still waiting for a partial refund. Checked out next day. We couldnt stay there any longer. Way to frustrating and aggravating. Advise----Stay elsewhere. Especially if your like me, and on the job for crazy hours and shifts. Your going to be way too tired to put up with that property.

Dont stay here
Pay the extra few dollars it would be worth it. This place is a little scarey. From broken lock on the door to broken outlet plugs. Spider webs in the corner ceilings sticky floors and dirt that you can wipe with you hand on the ac/heater which did not work prperly. Also the building and room smelled of Marijuana. This is a state that its not legal in and throughout the day it got stronger then weaker over and over. I can't even talk about the service....needless to say not good.

Don’t go, not even for an overnight stay
When I arrived, front desk seemed bothered when I asked about how to get to the room. Terrible experience. Leak in bathroom, tv not working, no one to reach at front desk about the tv. Sheets with cigarette holes, it’s a no smoking room. Outdated furniture. Nothing like the rooms they pictured. Bed broken. Alarm rang at 6 am.

There is nothing positive about this place
Pictures did not represent the true condition of the property and accomodations. Interior was dark dingy, dirty, no security(as in doors from outside did not lock to prevent non paying customers from entering the hallway). Room ok except for the wood bolted to bathroom floor to cover who knows what and the burn holes in the sheets. Then, outside in the pool area were discarded mattresses and carpeting. I can't believe the price charged for this bad of a place.
