Econo Lodge Forest City

This place needs to shut down. We were the only ones staying there. Not even a small coffee pot in the room.

Econo Lodge did not have anyone at the front desk 24/7. Second night my key card did not work on my room. Luckily, I found someone who worked and lived on property to let me into my room. I had to hunt down personnel to check out. Also, I had to put down a $100 deposit, which I did not know about. They were able to place on my card. I am waiting for it to be returned on my card.

Do not stay here, the rooms are rented out long term to the local homeless population. Nothing personal against these folks, but the hotel had the feel of low-income apts. Building is in poor condition, bathroom is horrible, walls crumbling around shower, etc. Walls were so thin I could 'smell' & 'hear' the 'party' going on all night looooong, got very little 'needed' sleep.

This is a crack motel. Dont stay here. Dirty rooms broken tvs and AC. Shady people living in rooms, dicey area. The baymont two miles down the road is MUCH better at almost the same price

Arrived later so had to ring the bell and waited for 10+ min for someone to come help me. When my ccard was taken for a deposit it was ridden down on a sticky note. I asked why …I said I want that shredded pls. I drove around looking for my room. The security lights outside were blinking or not working. There looked to be some sketchy business and characters in the parking lot which made me feel unsafe. I didn’t not stay one more min or walk into my room. I went and made another reservation and stayed at the baymont down the road.

THE WORST place I have stayed in my entire life! Front door had a sign directing guests to check in at the night window, but when you get to the window you're waved to the front door. A refundable deposit was required at check in. Language was a slight hindrance. Building and grounds filthy. In general walkway was a rolling trash can full and overflowing. Room looked normal until finding several roaches on the bathroom walls. Told staff to clean bathroom and spray while we were gone to dinner. When we came back we found our room door open. Luckily our computers etc. were still there. Since there was already limited rooms in town, due to the event we attended, we had no option but deal with and get out of there at first light. Forgot the outdoor swimming pool was full green water and frogs. The property should be demolished!

This hotel was conveniently located for my weekend biking event. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean except for the carpet. Overall, the hotel was a good value for the price. It could use some ongoing renovation to the outside as well as routine maintenance to the rooms. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay.

It was clean and quiet.

This hotel is no fit to stay. It started will the woman at the front desk, when she spoke to all groups who were doing a Spartan race if the towel were dirty with red clay (which is normal in NC and very hard to remove even after taking a shower ) we would pay an additional fee. On arrival to our room, the door was wide open and there was a man above doing sometimes because there was water? dripping in front of the door. There was dead lava, the bathroom door would not close, shower handle was broken, comforters were missing, They only were left, which had blue paint on it, the rug wet and dirty which left dirt on the bottom of our socks, feet, and towels. The room was so bad I feel I should get my money.

Horrible stay , nasty hotel , rude staff
