Econo Lodge Roanoke Civic Center

Room smelled like it was cleaned when I first opened the door. Front desk staff was very nice.

Bed linens obviously were not changed, there was what looked like a blood streak on the cover sheet. I did not want to touch anything in the room after that. I could not stay in the room after seeing that, left immediately and took the 6 hour ride back home. I was only in the room for an hour before leaving.

- Easy check in - Front desk staff responds promptly - Bathrooms surprisingly clean - Wrapped toiletries - Parking available - AC unit works - WiFi

- Same as most motels - Noise level high d/t near the road - Poor in-unit lighting (some lights not working) - Room was stuffy, smelled like a former smoking room despite being non-smoking (thankfully was able to air it out and the AC unit does work) - Sheets dirty in the made up bed. Marks were present when I pulled the covers back to check; maintenance brought new clean sheets within about 10-15 minutes - I was only there due to an emergency change in plans and needing a nap before a longer upcoming drive. Was hard to sleep due to the noise. Let’s just say that was an expensive mediocre power nap and I hope I’m never in that predicament again - Requested to comp part of the room since I only stayed 3 hours and it wasn’t clean upon entry, but the excuse was that they offered a different room - capitalistic greed outweighed customer experience of course.

I stayed here for 2 nights. At first I was worried if the rooms were clean enough. After first night I went ahead and got a second night because the room was clean and no bugs. Outlets didn’t work well. Ac worked fine. Everything seemed clean. No bugs. The room did have a strange cleaning odor not the typical ones I have smelled. Staff was friendly.

Strange oder when I first walked in but I think it was some weird cleaning chemical and it dissipated after the fist day.
