The property looked like like it was never updated in 40 years. The beds were old spring beds and uncomfortable. The floor carpet is disgusting! Allergy attacked all night. The only reason we stayed there was because they were pet friendly and even then they charged an extra $20. Will never go there again.

The staff was very friendly. Check in/out was a breeze. When we got there, someone was complaining their toilet didn’t work.
Our room was a disaster. Our door looked like it had been kicked in at one point, big boot sized crack in it. I feel the room itself had not been cleaned except the sheets and towels. The bathtub had water UNDERNEATH it and taking a shower was like standing on a water bed. There were shampoo and conditioner bottles attached to the wall, but they were empty. The toilet was also NOT attached to the floor. The toilet paper holder was broken so the roll was left on the counter. There was old soap left in the shower from the previous people who stayed there. One of the wall plugs did not work. No coffee maker in the room. No fridge, no hair dryer, no side tables. Our room cards stopped working twice and the access inside our room from the parking lot was broken. We were driving through for the night so we didn’t want to much… but for $205 I was expecting a little more. SO DO NOT BOOK HERE!

This is a basic motel--very basic. I am usually in town doing activities, and need a motel to sleep and shower. It is not a clean motel and the mattresses are less than basic but it is inexpensive. Know what you are getting. It serves the purpose for me but it is not a motel that you would take a wife/girlfriend or significant other to, to have a relaxing stay. BUT it does serve the purpose of a shower and bed.

Probably the dirtiest, most run-down property I've ever stayed at. The furniture might've been trash-picked off the curb, the beds looked slept-in, with cigarette burns in the bedding (in a non-smoking room), the power sockets were caving into the wall, and the sink was blocked with vape components and... fungus?
I'd sleep in my car before staying here again. I recommend bulldozing the place and starting again.
The receptionist was pleasant, helpful and oblivious to the quality of the rooms.

Property was easy to find. Bed was comfortable as were the pillows; however, the bathroom left something to desire. It was clean but definitely could use a refresh of walls and tub. The room smelled off when we first got there but seemed to improve once the air conditioner circulated the air. I would not consider their “free continental breakfast” sufficient. Only options were toast or a bagel and I had to put my toast through 3x and only one side toasted even after that. And yes I turned it over. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient and even moved us to a main floor room when she noticed I was using a cane and had limited mobility which was greatly appreciated. All in all it was an okay experience and a decent price point.

We stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago, the room we had last time was in decent condition. This room was in need of repairs, needed some updated furniture (the chair had rips and stains) and had a musty odor.

We likely could have asked for a different room, but in the end stuck with the one we had.

The staff seemed friendly, and it is very affordable. Next year, we will be looking at a different hotel.

We were kept up for many hours by dogs barking in what seemed like every second room on our floor. This was magnified by thin walls,
Our door safety chain was broken. The room key always took 4-6 attempts before working. The mattresses were AT LEAST 3 YEARS PAST THEIR REPLACEMENT DATE WITH SPRINGS STICKING OUT OF ONE.
Walls needed painting throughout and the carpets were desperate for a cleaning especially on the stairs.
The advertised all included breakfast consisted of toast, coffee, tea and orange type juice. Wow!

I was very disappointed with my stay. When we went to strip the bed because I had lost a ring, we discovered a large, brownish stain on the sheets that looked like baby feces and the sheets clearly had not been changed before our arrival. This is unacceptable for any hotel, especially a Hyatt, and it caused me distress and concern for cleanliness. The front desk was not informed as my husband said what difference is it going to make as we were checking out anyways, but the situation and the fact that housekeeping had missed such an obvious stain seriously undermined my confidence in the room’s hygiene.

The Stay at Econo Lodge has been more than satisfactory, the room allocated was clean and tidy on arrival and matches descriptions.

The building itself does need some love here and there no doubt but nothing concerning.

Staff from front desk to housekeeping throughout were polite and informative and ready to assist and any issues or request I had was met with polite enthusiasm to help.

There are typical amenities available at this budget friendly location and the breakfast available is basic food and such to help yourself to make if you need it.

Econo Lodge u
is surrounded by food restaurants and a dollarama(always useful) literal minute walks away and it's in just the right spot to head out and explore the city with a bus stop nearby and local taxi's and \"app services\" to get you around if you don't have a vehicle.

There's generally ample parking space on site and nearby. It's not going to be an issue unless it's a busy period than be prepared.

Although you can never know who your fellow guests may be during my stay the atmosphere was calm enough throughout to me.

I'd have no issues booking here again when needed.

This was a quick, one-night stay after returning from a trip. Upon entering the hallway, there was a strong smell of cigarettes and other musty odors. The keypad to the room door barely worked, and it took several minutes to get it open. The hotel rooms themselves were in poor condition—when I pulled out a chair to hang my coat, a piece of the desk was broken off and just lying on the chair. Thankfully, no one sat on it. I’m grateful this was only a one-night stay, as I would not recommend this hotel.

I agree with most of the other reviews where people compliment the staff of the Econo Lodge for their friendliness and attention. They are the best part of the stay.
It would appear the hotel is giving itself up to being a long term stay facility. There seemed to be a dog in every room.
Once you get past the lobby, the whole building is very run down. Our room leaked fluids from the ceiling.
Peeling paint. Chewed up doors.
If you are in town for an overnight stay, I'd advise you to go somewhere else.

The staff was welcoming and accommodating to us when we checked in and out. However, the room is in desperate need of renovating. The hall door has a serious issue with out of alignment and took a vigorous push to open. The carpet was pulling away from the wall and coming apart along the edges. I have never seen an extension cord that is plugged into the wall and run behind the carpet baseboard. I believe that alone constitutes a fire hazard. The wallpaper was coming away at the seams and there were very poor repairs made where pictures had been hung and the plaster work above the bathroom sink. The occasional chair beside the bed was filthy and the seam along the arm was threadbare. I have no idea what the stuffing in the pillows was, but very lumpy. However, the bathroom was clean.

When I booked the room, it said it comes with a continental breakfast when in actuality there was only bread/bagel, coffee and juice. When I complained at the front desk she said it’s an express continental breakfast.

Still Google what an actual express continental breakfast is:
Beverages: Coffee, tea, milk, and fruit juice.
Baked Goods: Bread, muffins, bagels, croissants, and pastries.
Fruits: Fresh fruit or yogurt with fruit.
Cereals: Cold cereals with milk.
Spreads: Butter, jam, or jelly.

Also I had booked a room for 2 people and there was only one bath towel.
