No room service. Wallpaper in room was peeling. Bugs in bathroom. Tv remote didn’t work. The lobby was under some kind of “reconstruction.” Was advertised as pet friendly but didn’t know there was an additional pet fee PER night PER pet PLUS tax. Of the whole weekend we were there there was PLENTY of vacant rooms but they stuck us right beside literally the only other person there instead of spacing us out… he was up all night and morning drinking and hollering and blaring music

Had to select this property as only pet friendly in the area. Room was clean, however this motel is very old and has not been refurbished/remodeled in a very long time. But then for a very low rate makes our rating good overall. Also TV did not work and no one was available after 9 pm to help.

Nice place, crappy guests
Older building but clean, good service. The only downside to staying in one of the most affordable places in town (like this one) is that you’re going to be around some lower-class people. Why are people talking loudly in the parking lot at midnight? Why are you walking around playing your music? I understand that these are normal behaviors in the trailer park or housing projects where you live.

Asked lady at deskbif we were in a safe area, she said we have cameras. There was a party above us that went on until 12:30am. Room had so much floor cleaner on floor that it would not dry. It was like ice skating.pillow cases are so old they are dinging. Sheets had cigarette burns straight through to tge plastic. As if they were not changed. The room had an old musty smell. A lot of shady stuff happening in the lot after dark.A total refund should be given back to me as the advertising was false. We did not feel safe.

I have never stayed at a hotel that was this nasty! Toliet literally had pubic hairs on the seat! Floors was disgusting and you could definitely tell they do not clean or disinfect anything in the rooms. I would not recommend this place to anyone!

I'm glad you forwarded this opportunity for me to leave my feedback on this property. I booked this hotel in May and prepaid. I arrived late Thursday evening after approximately a 5-hour drive. The first issue arrived when I noticed the six to eight people sitting outside on the sidewalk on their phone. As I tried to enter the building to check in the door was chained shut. I had to speak to your receptionist through a window in the wall. Well, once she finally put down her cell phone she was able to briefly speak to me. Like everyone else waiting outside apparently our reservations didn't exist. She seemed very annoyed that we were even there. It's not often you meet someone as rude as her. I had to then try to find another hotel on my own as I was not sleeping in my car. She said that was not her problem. From what I could see through the chain glass door the hotel was not very clean so I'm guessing this was a blessing in disguise. I had to drive from Martinsville Virginia clear to Greensboro North Carolina to find another hotel. I will never even consider staying at another Econo Lodge.

Very upset. The hotel was extremely dirty. It had old mattress tossed and laying in the parking lot. Laundry was being folded in the lobby. It was so bad and dirty we turned around and went home. Pictures Do NOT MATCH

this is not my first time staying here so I was very surprised at the conditions because I didn’t have these issues before. I booked a no smoking room however there was cigarette burn marks on the furniture and the blankets. The wall was peeling, several of my towels were dirty, the recliner chair was covered in stains and to top it off there was a roach crawling out the bathroom. Everything was extremely outdated. The ice machine room was disgusting and had dirt and black mold around it. There is old beds and furniture piled up in different places around the premises. I had to throughly disinfect my room before sleeping there. I had very few staff interactions which was fine. Every staff member I did speak to was respectful. it’s definitely the cheapest around and honestly I see why. You get what you pay for. Do not expect Hilton accommodations here.

Bugs that may have been bedbugs seen; cigarette butts throughout property; furniture and detritus scattered about property; dated; on positive side, breakfast was OK, staff was friendly, pool area looked good. I get impression they're trying to bring property back from being a dive, but still have a way to go.

I had problems with my booking, the room first reserved has the bathroom and bathtub dirty no clean linen and it wasn’t vacuumed. I was offered another room but was not vacuumed, I had to ask personally the housekeeping lady to provide me with clean towels, limited toilet paper and the walls and door in the bathroom is nasty it has black oil fingerprints all over. It’s not a family oriented hotel but more likely to construction workers and similar business men. I won’t come back to this motel ever!.

Property was very outdated. No ice machine in the building. Cigarette burns on the linens on both beds. Towels were questionably clean, they just seemed damp not crisp and dry like they should have been. Overall, the room was decently clean just really needs some updates and especially the bedding needs replaced. Room was very spacious which was nice.
