The staff were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. However, the overall condition of the hotel was unacceptable.

Both the facilities and parking area had a strong smell of marijuana, which created an unpleasant first impression. Unfortunately, the issues continued in the room. The bedding—including pillows, sheets, and blankets—had visible cigarette burns and contained hair from previous guests, indicating a lack of proper cleaning.

Additionally, there were splashes of a brown liquid on the walls and doors, as if a shaken soda had been opened inside the room. The bathroom was also in poor condition—the tub was clogged, and when I turned on the water, it caused a backflow that brought up hair and food debris.

Along with the dressers and electronics on the room being in poor unusable Condition.

Overall, while the staff were kind, the cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel fell far below acceptable standards.

Hotel would not refund after accidental booking

I accidentally booked this hotel. I noticed as soon as transaction was complete. I immediately contacted hotels.com, who said they would try to get a refund.

The hotel refused.

I know the booking was my fault, but usually most businesses offer up more flexibility in situations like these.

this hotel should be your absolute last choice

Pretty horrendous... I was on the first floor. It appeared an area of that floor was flooded. As you walked down the hallway, there were drying fans etc but the smell was just foul and nauseating. That smell permeated throughout the entire floof including my room. Staff at check-in tried telling me my current drivers license was not a valid ID. Not friendly at all, no breakfast (although advertised) unless luke warm coffee qualifies as a breakfast.

The worst hotel I have ever been to! It was dirty and run down. Two doors into the hotel were broken, the gym was closed, the ice machine was broken. There was no remote for the tv and when we asked for one it didn’t work. A man was waiting at the locked back door to be let in by someone which seemed very suspicious and generally it seemed like a scary place and neighborhood. The bedding had holes in it and some candy was scattered about the floor so obviously no one had cleaned the room. Do not go to this hotel!!!

There were several issues that I had with the Econo Lodge. First, my girlfriend noticed a used soap bar when she first went into the bathroom of our hotel room. Secondly, on our third night of our stay, there was a lot of loud noise coming from the parking lot of the property. The loud noise consisted of music and people talking loudly to each other.

Econo... You get a room to sleep in and nothing more. Stained bed sheets and cigarette ash burns in the blanket, though likely clean, just leave a mind wondering. When booking our stay, I took notice of the free breakfast advertised. There is no free breakfast. When mentioned to the front desk person, the response was, \"I know. People complain about that all the time.\" One of those things that make you go, \"Hm?\" It's misleading to your customers and misleading your customers is poor business practice. The noise from the room above us made it difficult to fall asleep, though noisy tenants is an issue that might beyond management's control. So, though many Econo Lodge hotels may be fine places, my stay at this Econo Lodge, has likely persuaded me to never book a room with Econo Lodge again. I'm not upset, just sharing my true experience. Safe travels...

Econo lodge room 302 May 14 2023

This room was in very sad condition. I made a video but cannot upload to this site (Hotels.com needs to fix this in their review). I have added 2 images. Hole in the wall. Bathroom door is a mess (see image). There was mold on the bathroom shower curtain, dents on all the furniture, a hole in the \"office\" chair, the sitting chair was water stained, the bedside lamp was rusty, the bed cover was both stained and had cigarette burn holes in it. In my 50+ years of travel on six continents this ranks near the bottom. I have stayed in other Econolodge hotels and while they are not fancy, they are generally clean and presentable. This was not and I would not recommend staying at this location.

Clean for the price, manager has an attitudethough

Location seemed to be okay. I don't know much about the area but it was quiet. Could use some paint and maintenance in some areas of the hotel. Breakfast was very meek and ants were crawling around the table where the syrup sat. One staff member with braids was extremely nice while the other, I believe she was the manager, had an attitude, didn't greet, and kept smoking a cigarette out front everytime I saw her instead of being at the front desk. I had to go outside to ask for face cloths where she ignored me and went back to talking and smoking and the other young lady got up to go get them. When checking out the next day, I saw her smoking out front yet again so I didn't bother to tell her I needed to check out, I just kindly sat the card on the counter and walked away. No point in making her do her job when she seems to not care about it anyway. Won't be back because of her horrible customer service.

While I was there the hotel was robbed and the owner shot. The staff did NOT keep us apprised as to what was happening and we were left to cower in darkness for hours while hearing shots fired, sirens, ambulances, etc. There was loud, forceful knocking on doors but the person did not identify themselves so for all we knew it was the criminals knocking!

BED BUGS Rms 116 and 118

BED BUGS-- we found and saw 3! Party of 5 in 3 rooms. At 2 am the Bed Bugs were visible. Our drummer decided to sleep in the van. I ran down to the hotel clerk and requested a new room for that party who went to the van, so at least his roommate could get rest. I inspected my room and discovered a bed bug on the ceiling over the bed. They do crawl up the ceiling and drop down on you. Horrible. I took a picture. I then asked to move to a far away room as it was 3 am in the morning and too late to change hotels. We inspected the 3rd room on first floor with no signs. We went to 3rd floor to our new room and saw three mattresses in the hall with blood stains on them. This tells me they have an infestation. When I asked the clerk, she lied and said there were \"no bed bug reports\". She was a good liar. But after seeing the third floor I know the employees all know about the infestation in the hotel. Also the hotel was just filthy. Mildew, dirty bedding, filthy floors, meager amenities. PLEASE TAKE THEM OFF YOUR LIST!

If you got the money for it, don’t stay here

I don’t like writing bad reviews, but this is necessary. I had to go to Fayetteville for one night, and booked this hotel because of the price and convenient location. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating, but that was the only upside. We got a smoking room (we did not choose this) and it smelled like an ashtray. Hard to breathe. The AC unit didn’t help because it had a smell of its own. The bed also had hairs, ash, and a penny in the sheets! Walls were entirely too thin, and cleanliness as a whole was very subpar. It was midnight by this time, and I’d already paid, so we just got what little sleep we could and then checked out early in the morning.

tl;dr
Just go get a hotel that’s $20 more expensive in order to avoid this hotel. Bed is comfy though.
