Proes: Semi-comfy bed, large shower, and large TV. Cons: parking lot had damaged abandoned vehicles, transient sleeping in their cars in the parking lot, people sleeping in the lobby. Room: the lanoliom tile was all bubbled up, you can see the dirt and hair underneath, it was also a trip hazard. The floors were so bubbled that is sunk when tou walked on them.

This place is extremely run down. The guy who checked us in was quiet, but nice. The lock on my door was not functional. Very thin walls. Rooms smelled very musty. My wondow was duct taped i. Several spots, as was the elevator! The mattress was HORRIBLE. Not a restful sleep at all. There was a microwave and fridge but nowhere to plug in the microwave. Would recommend paying a little more to stay elsewhere. Breakfast was not even continental. They didn't even have any yogurt of fruit. Only toast and waffles.

Not very well kept up. Broke down cars in the parking lot and overall dingyness. The linoleum in my room was not completely put down (you could feel it when you walked). The breakfast consisted of make your own waffles, rasin bran, froot loops, or white bread toast that wasn't filled up the first day. You can get a decent night's sleep but you really don't want to spend any time on the property.

However, when we got to the room it was very nice and clean. Had a little trouble with flushing the toilet but staff helped There is a guide in the room but the tv channels didn’t match what was in the book. The bed was super comfortable and I got a great nights’ sleep. Breakfast was okay, I at least got a waffle. But there really wasn’t much else to eat and there was no decaf coffee. There was no coffee pot in the room and the microwave was super difficult to open and come to find out there was rust on the inside of the microwave.

Room was clean. Everything worked as intended although the TV had a glitch which I initially thought was a blown speaker. Turned out to be a wiring/connection issue. Staff addressed the issue, but it occurred two more times and required fiddling with the wires by myself both times. It's obvious there are long-term residents, and abandoned vehicles in the lot. If all you require is a good night's sleep for low cost, it is adequate. Was allowed to bring my bike inside. Location close to several fast food joints, Walmart, and other shopping. Not far from highway, but far enough to not be able to hear it. May stay again, may look for slightly nicer accommodation.

There are broken down vehicles in the parking lot and when the check in staff found out we booked via Hotels.com they immediately were unpleasant and aggressively declined to help my sister with an early check out, 4 days instead of 5. They adamantly said that we should have booked with them directly in order for early check out to happen. I made the reservations for 2 rooms and when my sister couldn't stay 5 days, I contacted Hotels.com and they advised us it wasn't a big deal, to say early check out when we got in. I will follow up with H.com, of course but there wasn't a reason to berate us for not booking with them directly; it's their decision to do business with Hotels.com. The place, rooms were quiet and the beds in both rooms were good. Cleaning product smell is an issue, possibly because we found out they allow up to 3 pets per room, the cleaning products are so liberally used that it is completely over powering. Turn all fans on high at all times to mitigate. It's likely the carpets in the hallways and steps need to be replaced. The same overpowering cleanser is used throughout the building.

Very poor quality hotel. Fortunately, we only had to stay for one night and had accommodations booked at another nearby hotel for the rest of our trip.

When we arrived around midnight, the room was not properly equipped. There were only two pillows available for our family, insufficient towels, and no iron, even though an ironing board was in the room. Each time we requested basic items, the front desk asked us to come down from the third floor to pick them up ourselves rather than delivering them.

The room layout was also inconvenient. The sink was located inside the main room instead of the bathroom, so turning on the light at the sink disturbed everyone trying to sleep.

The service was disappointing. Peter and the manager, Jimmy, were both rude and unhelpful when addressing our concerns. Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences we have had.

I would not recommend this Econo Lodge location. Travelers should consider a more reliable brand and a better-maintained property. I intend to contact the corporate office and CEO's office during business hours to formally share my experience.

Avoid. Bed was comfy and the water pressure was decent but.....that's about it. The AC was very loud and didn't work very well, the room was falling apart. A nightstand with lamp on each side, and one didn't even have an outlet to plug into anywhere lol. The \"breakfast\" was the worst I had ever seen at a hotel....at 0845 out of milk, out of butter, out of syrup, barely any batter for waffles and cheap/flavorless. Just white bread, a bowl of grape jelly, some generic brownie bites and a toaster. Literally that's all. There for 15 minutes and no one came to refill anything. Why advertise \"Breakfast included\". Whatever you paid, you will probably feel you overpaid.

Definitely an older property and it shows. I wouldn’t say it was dirty but it carried the weight of its years. The breakfast left a lot to be desired - a tub of brownie bites, cereal and waffles shouldn’t be considered breakfast. I would recommend higher protein options for those who are gluten free and don’t want to eat only sugar in the morning.

The surrounding area had lots of shopping/fast dining but felt a little unsafe just with how many homeless people were around the hotel and the area. Likely not something the hotel can control but just something people traveling with kids should be aware of.

Other than that, it was fine for the price!

Room is basic and a little dated but it was quiet and safe and a good deal for the price, plus included a little free breakfast (not expansive by any means but still something - there was coffee and juices and mini muffins and a waffle maker and a little fresh fruit. Oh and cereal. Maybe a couple other things but not like eggs and meats).

Choose Super 8 in this price range

The desk person was pleasant and didn’t charge us extra to check-in 45 minutes early—though she asked if I wanted to pay $25 extra. Lobby was updated but rooms dated. Beds were saggy and could put you in traction. Red stains on carpet and in sink area. Aurora Comfort/Clarion properties should probably be avoided—2nd bad experience. So per 8 in Henderson much better option in price range.

My family and I were not bothered or harassed in any way but there were homeless sitting on the curb outside and we had a few people come in, obviously high, talking about getting high or getting money, which made us feel like we had to be very careful with our belongings and our own safety. The parking lot area was dirty and I'm assuming the trash came from those who were seeking to get drunk and high. The hotel had a continental breakfast but the selection was minimal. Two types of cereal, apples (small), or waffles. I don't expect a lot of a place that is beyond reasonable monetarily, but I do expect a little better than what we experienced on our stay. I will probably try another option next time.

Stayed 5 nights. It was OK. Never received housekeeping service once. Had to go ask for towels or set trash outside my door and go ask front desk for trash bags. This is a low end hotel and it attracts low end clients. Everyone sits outside the front door and smokes. You walk thru the cloud every time you come and go. Room was very musty smelling. I cleaned a/c filter (probably never been done before) and brushed off layer of filth on coils and a/c worked better and didn't smell as bad. Yes, the owners do keep up the property and are doing their best based on what they deal with. I got what i paid for. Best deal in Colorado Springs in a somewhat safe area.

Made reservation due to good ratings and availability. Bad decision.Hotel was to be smoke free. You could smell the musty smoke throughout rooms and lobby/halls. Upholstery dirty, cigarette burns on furniture, linens, and counters. Lobby area full of broken furniture. Parking area full of run down, broken vehicles. Mattresses worn out, holes in walls. Our room had 4 occupants( two adults, two kids). We were allowed two towels per day… “breakfast” consisted of dry cereal with no milk, an empty juice machine, and a waffle maker that was filthy.

Air conditioner makes so much noise, I had to sleep with a towel over my head.

“Breakfast” gave us a choice between children’s cereal (Lucky Charms, etc) and waffles. Not a bagel or muffin in sight.

Building maintenance was very, very poor. Looked out into the courtyard from our room and grass was over knee high. Chairs were everywhere as if this was the place that the local crackheads gathered from the streets for a retreat. The parking lot is a complete mess. Inside property is not well kept up - just a dinky hotel. Bed was clean and was grateful for a shower but was even more thankful we were just passing through and only had to stay 1 night. Definitely not worth $100. Maybe worth $50. I guess inflation is everywhere.
