Econo Lodge at the University

My room was filthy. I took a towel and ran it across the floor and the towel was black. There was a goo on both headboards. The carpet in the hall was filthy black . There was a chunk of carpet missing in the hall. Outside the entry door was a huge pile of cigarette butts that looked like it had not been clean in months. My shoe stuck to the stairwell steps due to something sticky on them. Some more serving implements for getting the food off the morning serving trays would be good so people wouldn't use their fingers to pick up the sausages. I also never saw the pool that is in their pictures

They charge $6 that is not refunded on top of $100 incidental. Said it would drop off but it didn’t charged me $106. Now I get to wait 7 days for my refund. As a business man this is so uncalled for. Sick of the nickle and dime. People a very nice

Staff was courteous

I was very scared by the reviews of this hotel. I had no other options since everything thing else was booked for parents weekend. I do not understand all of the negative reviews. JR checked us in and I told him my concerns - he brought me to the room first to make sure I was ok with it. It is completely fine, very clean, sheets were spotless, bathroom was spotless, no bugs, no mold, no bad smell of chemicals or mildew. They are exactly as pictured. For this price I’m not sure what people expect. There was some rust around the door trim in the bathroom and the trim in general is beat up, that did not bother me at all. You cannot beat the location - it is very close to CCU. When we were there, there were no people hanging out around the hotel and we didn’t notice any smell from the two restaurants until the morning we left at 4am and it was not bad. For the price this hotel is more than acceptable. At the last minute I could have gotten a reservation at one of the newer hotels, it would have been $400 more for 3 nights, it was after my allowable cancellation date so could not take it, I’m glad I didn’t. For reference we were in the back building but JR said the only difference is front building has outside door and have kitchenettes, they were all renovated the same time. If you just need a hotel to sleep at night this is a very good option again for the price. There was nothing scary about it.

Breakfast could have had more options.

Everything was nice and clean.

The property itself is not too bad, it smells weird but the room is pretty clean. There was one bug on the floor but the beds are clean. My only real complaint is the deposit is not disclosed upfront and you get hit with it at check-in. You need to be prepared considering its not refundable

It was humid in the room and facility needs some work

The rooms were fine for the price. You can’t beat the location for CCU convenience. The breakfast was very basic

Close to the University. Check in was super easy and the gentleman who checked me in was a star. He was informative, pleasant and funny. Ample parking. The room was large and clean. All the usual hotel room items. Would def stay again.
