This econo lodge was labeled “pet friendly.” However, no additional charge per pet was mentioned in the advertisement. Be forthright if you’re going to charge a fee. I was very surprised that an additional charge of $20 was added on. I would like a refund for $20 because that fee was hidden. I would have gladly payed it if this fee was clearly stated.
Front desk associate was very nice and friendly. Hotel room smelled bad, small tv, remote didn’t work, dingy, air vent in bathroom was hanging, and wasn’t the cleanest. And the main door had a gap at the bottom.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Upon first impressions with the staff when checking in, they were extreme nice and welcoming.
The room, had it issues. I first noticed that the light in the bathroom turned on after flipping the switch about 7-8 time (on average). One of the lamps didn't have a bulb in it, base board around air conditioning unit was pulling away from the wall, TV failed to connect to the hotel wifi limiting watch options. A couple of the hand towels where clearly passed the use date. They were noticeably dingy in colors and needed to meet the trash.
Clean, comfortable room, nice people. Breakfast is cold continental.

Disliked: Room comfort
The lady checking us in was very nice. Very sweet. The hotel is old. I don’t think worth the money. Very clean though. Bedding sheets were Snow White clean fitted so were towels
Staff was friendly. The room was hot when i got in, the ac wasnt putting out cold air, maybe cool air. No main lights, had 3 lamps, 1 had no bulb. Bathroom light took about 15 minutes to come on...The bed was about as hard as the floor. When i sat down, it didnt move. Pillows were big blobs, head went right to the bed when i laid down.
It was good except you couldn’t swim in the pool bc it wasn’t ready yet ! But other then that it was clean & nice and the employees were very nice and friendly .
The ceiling was sagging, the plugs were coming out of the wall. We had reserved a room with a king bed and got a double bed with extremely small and flat pillows. The faucet on the tub was sticking out of the wall farther that it should have been. The sink was only partially attached to the counter top, and it smelled like smoke even though we requested a smoke free room.
