I was stranded due to weather, and had to wait till next day for my flight. Due to two other events going on in the area, most hotels were booked (or $600+). Found this hotel about 20 min from airport. The room was clean.
The first room offered was occupied. In the next room offered, the A/C unit was disassembled in the room. This was the last room available that was non-smoking. I was told by the attendant that there was a smoking room available but it was known to have roaches. The attendant did try calling to the hotels next door to see if there was availability, but everything was booked. With no other hotels in the area available I stayed in the room with no A/C for the night.
Thankfully I had added travel insurance to this stay, which I would recommend. You may have a great experience, I just had a lot of things working against me this one night.

Checked in this property on Saturday afternoon went to room air condition did not work. Room was filthy. Smells bad floor gives away as you walked on it door have been broken into in the past no safety lock on it smoke alarm missing could stick your hand between the wall and the air conditioning unit and could also stick your hand underneath the door. This place deserves to be tore down. It is a total waste of money, homeless people all around the property prostitutes in the parking lot this is ridiculous.I really think I should be reimbursed for this stay try to get my money back, but was told that it was an Expedia booking and they did not refund very very disappointed. After not being able to get a refund was issued two more rooms. Those rooms were not much better. TV did not work smoke alarms missing cracks under the door. Same cracks around the air conditioning units like I said this whole facility needs to be bulldozed.

The place obviously had Tropical Storm Helene damage, but that was no excuse for the horrid appearance, weird people roaming around, and the filth. The website looked very good, but the place was a disgrace. I refused to stay there. They said I would cancel the reservation. I hope they follow through. Expedia should be more careful.

First my smoke detector was tweeting until they changed the battery. My phone was not connected. Wanted to call the front desk and it wasn't connected. The floors were dirty. The main reason I booked the room because it said breakfast was included. And there was a sign in the lobby that breakfast was between 6am and 9am. But they didn't serve breakfast. Why does the website and sign say breakfast is provided and it isn't.

Although they try to keep things clean, many of the tenants leave their trash outside (not in the cans). There are cameras but there were awful screaming matches between my neighbors when I was staying there. It may not be like this all the time but I do not recommend extended stay. They had a fire which disables them from serving breakfast.

Is property advertised that they have a breakfast, they did not. But 24hr coffee is available. The first room they put us in are keys did not work. I got housekeeping to try to let me in and their key did not work and she had to use a regular key. My husband had to go to the front desk to get us into another room for the night. Then we get in the room. There's no table. There's no chair. The phone doesn't work. The TV's not working properly. There's a hole in the middle of the floor. My husband goes out to go to the front desk to complain then his key wouldn't work. The gentleman at the front desk was rude. This is unacceptable. Then my husband finds live bug crawling on the towels. We tried getting room across the parking lot but they were booked. Don't waste your money. Don't stay here. Horrible place. I can give it a negative five I would.

Only my Expedia record # which meant nothing to them. So then I had to download the expedia app to get what I needed and could not do that. The motel just gave me a room.

When I tried to check in, the staff could find no record of my having made a reservation with Travelocity. I was eventually shuffled off to what seemed like one of their spare rooms. The room had no chair other than a desk chair that fell backward as soon as I leaned back, no phone, and no desk light. Apparently, I was supposed to be in a standing or sleeping position throughout my stay. I asked the person at the desk the following day to get me a chair. My request was ignored. The door \"keys\" did not work properly. I got new keys and they didn't work properly either. I had to insert the \"key\" for about ten to twenty times, and if I was lucky, the door might open. Very tiresome. When I wanted to check out, there was no indication of what time the manager was supposed to show up in the morning. There was only a sign warning me that if I didn't check out on time, I would be charged $20 extra. I was early, but wanted to talk to the manager about all the troubles I had been having with the room. I tried to call the office with my cell phone and got only a recording. The manager showed up at 8 o'clock after I had been waiting close to an hour. During that time, other guests showed up looking for assistance, and had to leave because no one was around to help them. The experience of staying at this motel was a pain from start to finish.

Disappointing Hotel

When we arrived, there was no one at the check-in desk. There were already 5 parties ahead of us waiting to check in. Someone said they called the owner and an employee was being sent from another property. Eventually, two people showed up to check people in, and they were efficient. When we walked into the room we saw a cigarette burn on the sheets. We also noticed that several rooms have permanent residents (one even had a grill outside the room). We did not feel safe or comfortable staying at this Econo Lodge, so we left and stayed in another hotel.
