Avoid. Was scared to leave my room and was scared for my car.

There were at least three homeless people around the property. One sitting on the stairs like he was drugged out. The people going in and out of the lobby all look drugged out or ragged. There were five guys standing in front of my room and I was scared they were going to push me in my room when I opened the door. The sink was leaky and the floors squeaked. Only got two towels. The AC barely worked. There were visible holes and damage to the furniture. I didn’t bother taking a shower, will wait for the next hotel. Debated on leaving and sleeping elsewhere. Pool wasn’t available and I intentionally booked bc it had a pool. Even if it worked, I would be worried to go in.

Photos do not look like the hotel.

Pay the extra $10 or so and stay at a casino. Feel safe for yourself and your car. I was worried all night my car would get broken into.

Pros: They had a coffee machine in the room : )

The room was clean, staff friendly and helpful. The hallway smelled like weed that could get into our room. The pool & spa were covered, it was 85 that day. The rooms a/c didn't work and I didn't hear another one running. Was awoken at 4am. some a-hole talking loud outside the room. Overall a great place.

Front desk staff both am & pm were very friendly and helpful. Our downstairs room was large and comfortable and had an outdoor patio with table & chairs, upstairs rooms had verandas. Air/heat unit worked fine, but noisy. Shower good. Coffee in room and also in the lobby mornings. Convenient location but not right off a highway so it's quiet. Maintenance staff always working to keep the grounds clean.
However, the pool area locked & pool covered. We would definitely stay there again.

Literally the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in when I checked in there was water on my floor. The pony wall between the bathroom and the room was filthy on top. The bathroom counter had black stuff all over it. The furniture was covered with random paint everywhere. The tops of the cabinet under the TV was burned. And peeling all over the place. The night stands too. When I complain to the front desk about how dirty the room was, they said they would have somebody come and clean it and instead of actually cleaning the pony wall they just stuck a box of Kleenex over the top. My shower curtain was ripped. Which wouldn’t stay in place when I took a shower, causing water to get all over the floor. I complained about the shower curtain three days in a row, and they kept telling me they would fix it and never did. I actually left a day early. I just couldn’t take it anymore and their lack of caring about how a customer is treated. The hotel is very old and in desperate need of renovation. The pools are closed. The Jacuzzi is closed. The coffee in the morning is terrible with little options for sweetening it.

The broad on the floor were loose and uneven. Tripped on it a couple of times. The USB port on the desk was broken. The air conditioner in the room was not functioning. Mattress was so thin I can feel the springs in it. The bed creaked every time I move. I can hear the TV from the room across the hall. There were only one set of towels in the room. Each room has it own balcony which is nice.

The photos shown for this address is definitely not this Econo Lodge. A/C didn't work. Patio was a mess. Room was iffy. The bed was like sleeping on a warped plank. Not worth the money for one night on Memorial Day weekend. Should have slept in my car. If you can, spend the extra and go somewhere else.

The hotel is in bad condition. The rooms smell like smoke. The smoke detector was missing in one room and there were burn marks everywhere.Had to purchase products to clean the bathroom. There were smears on the wall. The other room the ac was not in order and they were aware is did not work before renting the room. Upper management refused to even acknowledge the problem. Will never return.

The worst experience ever!!!! Will never stay here again. In fact we had to check out of the room early and lose our money because we can’t even sleep at all. There’s some kind of violence going on next door and the people were screaming and yelling and slamming door until 5:30am. You can hear the phone ring in the next room and the whole conversation. When we opened the patio door and there are homeless people walking around. It’s kind of scary to stay there. Stay away.

Now I see why it was so cheep. This place needs some serious remodeling. I think money has been held back on a remodel since the mid 80’s.
Staff is smoky there doing a job. Not welcoming or friendly. Probably under paid because ownership and management only know how to keep the lights on by saving money.

It started at check in. I reserved a kind size bed and the clerk lied said I booked a single bed and they “upgraded” me to two double beds…why would my husband and I want two beds, we booked a king for a reason. The room was nasty the blanket had cigarette burns in it and smelled like cigarettes. I couldn’t go out side by myself because of the amount of homeless people hanging out and hiding by the vehicles. We were trying to watch tv and heard a loud rucous outside and it turned out to be another homeless person pushing a huge cart right in the walk way. There was fighting outside and underage kids partying and getting drunk right out side of their room. I will never stay there again!!

The name listed \"new Reno-Sparks Convention Center.\" What a crock. This place was probably built in the late 1960s or 1970s. It's been renovated but the workmanship is sub-par.

1. While faux hardwood floors have replaced the carpeting that was probably laid down originally, the countertop for the sink looks like something from the 1960s... old, damaged and disgusting to look at.

2. The door and door frame to my room have drill holes in them -- poorly patched and not repainted.

3. The heater in my room is old and makes a low-grumbling rumble sound that's annoying.

4. When I came up the stairs to my section of the hotel (rooms in the 500 range), I noticed some tubing for the electrical system that extend out over the steps. That represents a tripping hazard for guests -- that's a lawsuit waiting to happen and should never have been installed like that.

The nice young guy that checked me is a Sikh. I suspect that his family probably owns the place. If that's true, I suspect that they are all from India and like other Indians i've worked with, they do things to the standards of India -- not the United States. That doesn't work here. Americans expect better.

And naming the \"new Reno-Sparks Convention Center\" is so misleading it also opens the ownership up to a lawsuit for false advertising.

It's not a terrible place, but I would NOT stay at this hotel again nor would I recommend it.

We checked in around 10:30/11 PM. The guy working the front desk was pretty rude. I asked him a couple questions and it seemed like me asking anything was a huge burden. He was not helpful with giving information on how to get to our room. Then he just wa not listening. I told him I would be paying for the room and deposit in cash. He still tried to run my card. Thankfully I had my card locked. Otherwise it could have been a bigger mess. However when we checking out the young lady was very pleasant. Nothing extra needed to be done. Just the fact she was not rude meant a lot.

Not a very good experience at the Econo lodge.

On my last night staying there, i had i think yhe owners daughter and a young man start knocking on my door at 8:30 at night. Telling me that I wasn't supposed to be there yet I showed them a key that had gotten from them the night before. She looked in her phone/ computer and said, oh, we refunded your money yet. No, they didn't. They had it already taken it out of my credit card.
I had made reservations for Friday night and Saturday night, the morningstaff said I did not turn in my key or check out which I wasn't supposed to. Why should I check out of a hotel when I've already paid for it? The next day, Sunday I checked out gave them the key and went to another hotel that was more pleasant. The drawers in the room would not stay shut. They were ajar, you shut the drawers and they would just pop right back open.

Horrible experience all around

Check in took 30 minutes. There was a long line and it was not efficient. I had reserved 2 rooms and only one was booked under my name. The manager got involved and was aggressively screaming at the guy at the front desk in front of everyone. So unprofessional. We finally got things squared away and one of our 2 rooms smelled suffocating like marijuana. The property was noisy. The pillows felt like sleeping on lumpy rocks. We hardly slept. The only redeeming quality was the guy at the front desk was very kind and accommodating.
