This place is disgusting. It is very sketchy. Everything is dirty… parking lot, entrance lobby, hallways and room. The tv did not work. I had a non smoking room, but clearly someone had smoked in it previously. I seriously considered leaving and going elsewhere. I can’t believe the Econolodge home office would let their motels look like this.

This place is nasty. There were mice and roaches in our room. The carpet was not vacuumed and was nasty. The pool water was dirty. We had to stay due to child visitation arrangements. We will never stay here again.

The first room they put me in stunk, so I had to be moved, the only thing in this hotel that is air conditioned is the rooms, the rest of it is hot, stuffy, and smells bad, the pool looks unhealthy, that water does not look right, this is a horrible hotel and would never recommend it to anyone

But did you die?
The Econolodge of Marion is the sole survivor of the 1970’s. It is definitely an old property. I didn’t use the pool, the hot tub was broken. The pool area is not air conditioned. Not good for summer weather but probably pretty amazing in winter. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was worth the extra savings as I am on a budget and was just in town for hiking in the Shawnee forest. If you are a delicate flower, this is not the inn for you. If not, it’s worth the extra money saved.

Smell of weed throughout the hallways. Littered with homeless people essentially. If you have kids, I would not recommend. If you are bringing a girl, I would not recommend. Solo Guy?….maybe bring a gun.

Pretty sure I was set up to be robbed.
Checked in at about 2 am after getting off of work, was in town to help out a sister store of ours. Anyway; this very unkempt looking fellow was loitering around in the lobby when I arrived and chatted with the clerk as she was checking me in. As she goes to hand me my card, this random stranger asks; "what room did you put him in?" and she replied with MY ACTUAL ROOM NUMBER. This guy then continued to follow me around, even walked alongside my car as I was going to park. He kept hanging around me until I pulled my pistol out and clipped it to my hip and told him I'm going to turn in. Didn't sleep a wink that night, kept going out to check on the car and make sure my windows weren't smashed. I added a picture of the view from my room. Breathtaking is an understatement. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS

Disgusting!
The room was clearly not cleaned. There was hair all over the sink, toilet and floor. The toilet seat wasn’t even the right size of lid. There were flies and other dead insects. The sheets hadn’t been changed. There was no air conditioner in the building. The one in our room only worked part time. The smell was horrible. This is defiantly not a hotel we will ever stay at again! To top it all off there was pre let in a bucket in room!! Gross!!!

AC in the buildings didn’t work, the vents were covered in dirt and there was pens and pencil stuck in it. The front desk receptionist was using drugs while we were trying to check-in. Super dirty and the smell was disgusting. There wasn’t a single corner of the hotel that was clean. I couldn’t even stay the night, as soon as I walked in I took my stuff and left.
