The staff and room were nice, but the tub was partially filled with dirty water. And there was a piece of cardboard between the fitted sheet and mattress of my bed.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Shower handle holder broken so had to drape cord around handle on side of wall because if I turned off shower to use soap it would take time to warm the water. Weak toilet flush would not dispose of immediately and could not flush again but toilet tank did not refill until after a few minutes. Would have to go back and flush again. Filthy way to dispose of waste products. Definitely will not stay at this facility again or any other econo lodges elsewhere. I have stayed at serveral hotels and by far this is the worst. Now understand why the rates are so low because that is the only thing that brings the customers to that site. Would rather pay more in the future. This was the first time that I have stayed and an econo lodge.

The floors in our room were filthy dirty. The breakfast ran out of food at 8:30. No one to restock. When some one did come 9am she took out garbage. Coffee was out too. People poured cereal only to discover no milk. No one found at front desk. At least 15 to people left without food. Very sad for one family. Kids all had sad faces
